New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed former President Donald Trump in her DNC speech as a man who would “sell” the U.S. “for a dollar” if he’s re-elected come Election Day.
“We have to help [Vice President Kamala Harris] win because we know that Donald Trump would sell this country for a dollar if it meant lining his own pockets and greasing the palms of his Wall Street friends,” Ocasio-Cortez said Monday evening from the convention’s stage at the United Center.
“And I, for one, am tired … of hearing about how a two-bit union buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman who fights every single day to let working people out from under the boots of greed trampling on our way of life. The truth is done. You cannot love this country if you only fight for the wealthy and big business. To love this country is to fight for its people. All people. Working people. Everyday Americans like bartenders and factory workers and fast food cashiers who punch a clock and are on their feet all day in some of the toughest jobs out there,” Ocasio-Cortez continued.
AOC’s Hypocrisy: A Comedy of Errors
Oh, the irony! AOC, the self-proclaimed champion of the working class, seems to have forgotten her own party’s track record. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane, shall we?
Remember when AOC opposed Amazon bringing thousands of jobs to her district? Or how about the time she celebrated the loss of oil and gas jobs? It seems our bartender-turned-politician has a peculiar way of “fighting for the people.”
AOC’s Job Creation Strategy
- Step 1: Oppose big companies bringing jobs
- Step 2: Celebrate loss of energy sector jobs
- Step 3: ???
- Step 4: Claim to be fighting for working people
And let’s not forget the Democrats’ stellar record on helping the working class. Inflation at a 40-year high? Check. Skyrocketing gas prices? You bet. A border crisis that’s putting strain on American workers? Absolutely!
Democrat Convention: A Circus of Contradictions
The DNC kicked off on Monday in Chicago, with a parade of high-profile Democrats addressing the convention. It’s like watching a magician’s act – lots of smoke and mirrors, but very little substance.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton graced the stage, presumably to give a masterclass in how to lose an election and blame everyone else. AOC continued her tirade against successful businessmen, while conveniently forgetting her own $174 “Tax the Rich” sweatshirts.
Vice President Kamala Harris, in her brief remarks, said, “I want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible President Joe Biden who will be speaking later tonight.” Incredible indeed – it’s incredible how quickly one can tank an economy!
Biden’s “Incredible” Achievements
| Achievement | Rating |
|---|---|
| Inflation Control | 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 |
| Border Security | 🧱 (1 brick out of 5) |
| Foreign Policy | 🇦🇫 (1 Afghanistan out of 5) |
| Energy Independence | ⛽ (Empty tank) |
Harris’ Run: A “Rare and Precious Opportunity” for Republicans
Ocasio-Cortez, in her infinite wisdom, declared that Harris’ run presents a “rare and precious opportunity.” AGREED! It’s a rare opportunity for Republicans to showcase the stark difference between competent governance and… whatever it is the Democrats are offering.
AOC urged Democrats to “pour every ounce, every minute, every moment into making history on November 5th.” Yes, please do. Pour all your energy into promoting policies that have consistently failed the American people. That’s a surefire way to make history – just not the kind you’re hoping for.
Democrat Division: When Your Own Team Doesn’t Show Up
In a hilarious turn of events, several Democrat senators are skipping the convention altogether. It seems even they can’t stomach the circus. The Democrats’ Senate Campaign Chair tried to spin this as senators “knowing what’s best for them.” Translation: “Run away from this trainwreck as fast as you can!”
Meanwhile, anti-Israel activists held massive protests near the convention center, demanding Democrats cease funding Israel. It’s always a good look when communist protesters are calling out your party for “empty phrases, lip service, lies and deception.” When communists think you’re too far left, it might be time for some self-reflection.
Conclusion: The Democratic Farce Continues
As the DNC unfolds, it’s clear that the Democrat Party is more interested in virtue signaling than actually helping the American people. While they preach about fighting for the working class, their policies continue to hurt the very people they claim to champion.
Republicans, on the other hand, have a track record of creating jobs, lowering taxes, and promoting policies that actually benefit all Americans. As we watch the Democrat circus, let’s remember that there’s a better way forward – one that doesn’t involve selling out our country or our values.
