When a video clip of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) as a college student dancing on a rooftop went viral on Thursday, journalists and leftists immediately accused conservatives of being “outraged” and leapt to her defense.
Yet there appeared to be little actual outrage coming from any conservatives over the video, as some noted on social media.
I haven't encountered any conservative outraged over that high school video of Ocasio-Cortez, but the media keeps telling me conservatives are outraged by it.

Nonetheless, Newsweek ran a story titled, “CONSERVATIVES MOCK ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ FOR COLLEGE DANCING VIDEO, EVERYONE ELSE THINKS IT’S ADORABLE.”
The story did not list any examples of conservatives attacking her and only journalists defending her, prompting calls for Newsweek to correct its story.

As a Conservative, all that I can say is that college kids dance.
ReplyDeleteShe's much better at dancing than she is at policy thinking.
ReplyDeleteWho reads News Week, Time, USA Today or the TV guide any more ? Even National Geographic and the New Yorker are Fluff. All the stuff of coupon clippers stock piling Gator Aid, Depends, and dryer sheets. Print media is dead you cant't even use it in the outhouse which was Sears and Robucks greatest appeal along with corn cobs and old bibles.
