Gift for Republicans

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, as many Republicans have remarked, is the gift that keeps on giving.

Last week, a Media Research Center video, spoofing the “Deep Thoughts” skit from Television Parts and “Saturday Night Live” of many years ago, caught the congresswoman’s attention.

“I love everything about this GOP attack ad,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Republicans underestimate my intelligence, bc [because] I invite people into my home and speak plain English instead of DC jargon.

“They think that’s dumb, so they end up paying for ads that spread and explain our policy positions.”
