Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz sparred with New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over several unanswered science questions.
The spat began Thursday when Ocasio-Cortez criticized President Donald Trump for putting Vice President Mike Pence in charge of the task force responding to Coronavirus.(Snip for graphic) Cruz responded by asking Ocasio-Cortez, “As you are speaking as the oracle of science, tell us, what exactly is a Y chromosome?” (Snip for graphic) Ocasio-Cortez fired back, insulting Cruz and touting her own scientific prowess and resume.

I can’t wrap my head around Sandy winning anything intellectual.. I do not doubt her science project in high school was excellent- nor do I doubt she graduated with an Econ degree.. all verifiable. What I wonder is how someone with such capacity for learning could be so vacuous? If she was so smart, had interned with Kennedy.. why was she working as a bar tender? Why won’t she answer simple questions? But to dismiss her is wrong- she is the face of current college education indoctrination.

Double major in Economics and International Relations. That dear readers is how you graduate with honors. You take a serious major and back it up with a puff major in Basket Weaving to protect your gpa.
That, plus a subway card, will get you a job as a barmaid.

Can AOC read cursive writing? Can AOC tell time using an analog clock?

At the time of publication, Ocasio-Cortez had not responded to any of the questions.
Google must be slow today, it's taking a long time for her to look up the answers.

And, she'll have to call at least five people to confirm the answers she finds, poster 4. She will never believe the truth concerning life, and her head will explode. Thus, she will never answer the questions. Colleague? She can fit her brain on a speck of dirt under one of Senator Cruz's fingernails.

I just can't listen to her anymore. At first it was amusing to hear the nonsense coming out of her mouth but as I realized that she is an example of what the indoctrination centers (College and Universities) are cranking out, it's become quite depressing. Her ignorance coupled with her unbelievable arrogance is astounding and to top it off, she is but one of many.
I remember when Colleges and Universities taught you HOW to think, not WHAT to think.

As I understand it, her degree path was filled w economic “philosophy” more than hard core subject matter. Stats, micro/macro Econ - you know...the core stuff. Put her and her degree up against my ex w his from Wharton. He was investment banker, DLJ, right out of Wharton. She, a bartender. Hmmmm.

It’s a waste of time to engage anyone in a serious discussion who is afraid of her garbage disposal and only recently was amazed to learn that plants come out of the ground and not aisle 5 at Whole Foods....

She makes a lot of assumptions. Should we assume that all females are like her....catty, combative and unintellectual?

I guess AOC in all of her intelligence doesn't realize that President Trump is very careful in his actions. Pandemics cause panic and she should know what happens when panic comes into the picture.
AOC, I think Vice President Mike Pence was a brilliant choice!
You must be a very jealous person. You are always criticizing just like Mitt Romney.
Jealous and envious.

It is right that it is futile to discuss with the dems BUT it is time we start embarrassing them with these kids of counterpoints. We let them get away with it. Time to challenge their idiocy.

If Ted doesn't lay off AOC will win the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Decades ago a radio talk show host was interviewing a Civil Rights Warrior named Hosea Williams who claimed to have left his career as a research chemist to become a demonstrator. The host then asked him to define valence and he responded he was in another speciality in chemistry. If I met AOC I would ask her if she visits Australia how she would keep her tip money from falling out of her pocket and heading to the sky.

All of us, Senator Cruz included, can have a good laugh for now but AOC and her ilk are just the tip of the spear of where we are heading if we don't stay alert and stop it! She must be slapped down often and harder each time. Take her seriously and treat her that way.
Everyone chuckled when a few crazy Germans about 1890 started to talk about the superior Aryan race and how their blood was purer than everyone else and thus superior. It was kind of funny & silly when they said the Aryans should rule the world from the top of the food chain, just like lions and eagles and sharks are at the top of their food chains. By 1930 no one was laughing any more and by 1936 highly educated German professors and doctors were swearing that under a microscope you could "see" a difference in Aryan blood --- and it shouldn't be mixed with other races. By 1939 all hell broke loose. It didn't end pretty.
Stop AOC while we can!

I can help Occasional Cortex. The Y chromosome causes us to be curious and ask questions.
The P chromosome makes us go to the bathroom a lot.
The AY chromosome makes us talk a lot like Fonzie.
The 2B chromosome makes us like Shakespeare.
The B4 chromosome makes us nostalgic.
See? Genetics is easy.

Since when has Lincoln Labs had anything to do with microbiology? I sense a serious case of resume-inflation there. I hope somebody there has the stones to step up and refute her ridiculous name-dropping effort. Did they sponsor a local science fair and give her a participation award, or something?
Fess up, Alex -- you and siense are complete strangers, aren't you? (She wouldn't even recognize a basic principle of science if it crept up a bit her on the ass.)

Has anyone done a DNA test to verify the Airhead Of Congress is the same AOC who got the Econ degree and did the HS science project? Maybe the demoncrats replaced her...

I’m sorry, but Sen. Kennedy, that lion of the senate, died in 2009. What was Sandy doing then? She was a teenager, like maybe 14, since she was a bartender after that.

When my neighbor saw this he commented; "someone already did and her answer was, ' that's the stuff that comes from a can and is made from corn -- it's in aisle 9 at Krogers -- it's on special this week' ".

"Secondly, I’m surprised you’re asking about chromosomes given that you don’t even believe in evolution"
She believes in evolution, yet she believes that the earth was finished when she got here. What year did the earth stop evolving?

NY residents outside of her woeful district are doing their best to oust this fool by moving out of NY, reducing the number of representatives. Maybe she will lose her seat and can open that microbiology lab she put on hold TO TEND BAR.

#19 is right. It's fine to make fun of lady Alex from the Bronx. But don't underestimate her. Really. She is a powerful and potentially dangerous politician. She's a new type of politician who makes up in nerve what she lacks in knowledge. She doesn't need to know the law, the Constitution, or the procedures and traditions of Congress. And she doesn't need any advice or counseling from that doddering old crone Nancy from San Fran. All she really needs to know is how the game is played. Because she is a "Playah". She is a perfect kind of politician in an age of institutionalized and force fed idiocy in our educational system. She's attractive, has a good sense of style, and is glib and facile. It's a potent combination that will attract a lot of votes from a generation that doesn't know how to think with logic or rationality. If she can survive two or more terms in the House, she will gain in seniority, and has the potential to become a dominant force in Democratic politics. A sort of better looking but just as radical female Hugo Chavez. And that is scary.

#2, you can't go by that. I double majored in Economics and Scandinavian Languages. My second major was simply for fun. But the truth is, AOC really didn't learn anything in her classes. Maybe it was her school or the professors....whatever it was, she did not learn anything of substance. Perhaps she only listened to the lectures on centralized economies. Then again, she may have just memorized what she needed to to take tests and it all went out the other ear at the drunken frat parties afterwards. Remember, they call that leftist idiot, Paul Krugman an "economist" and he knows absolutely nothing about the subject!! I am more qualified to hold the title than that hack!!
