BREAKING: AOC absolutely DOG-WALKS Senator Ted Cruz after he insulted her working class past as a bartender in a sneering line of attack. She certainly sounds like a president to us... "Congresswoman, real quick, I'm sorry to ask you about this, but Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. Any response to this Junior Senator from Texas," a reporter asked Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "I mean, listen, it's not a secret the disdain that Ted Cruz has for people who work working class jobs," said AOC. "It's not a secret that, you know, what he thinks of the waitresses, the line cooks, he thinks that we're less than him." "He thinks that because he has a Harvard degree and never scrubbed a table, that that makes him better than someone who's actually had to work for a living," she continued. "And I think it's funny that he's been taking a government paycheck for twenty-three years, but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here." "And you know, if that's how he feels, that's how he feels. I don't take it personally. I'm okay with it," she added. In a recent podcast appearance, Cruz — who is best known these days for abandoning his constituents in Texas during a deadly winter storm to vacation in Cancun — attacked Ocasio-Cortez for daring to state the truth that billionaires "can't earn" that much wealth. He referenced her past employment as a bartender and said that it's "probably true" that people in that line of work can never earn a billion dollars. He added that she went from that job to "being a government employee and a parasite sucking on the taxpayer." The stunning irony here is, of course, that Cruz himself draws a taxpayer salary and has been doing so far longer than Ocasio-Cortez. The difference is that AOC actually works to improve the lives of her constituents while Cruz actively immiserates them on behalf of corporations and corrupt oligarchs. The congresswoman is also right about his underlying beliefs. Cruz, like so many Republican politicians, believes that the rich are inherently better than working class people. They view a vast swath of the American electorate as subhuman peons to be exploited and extracted from. Men like him should never be given power
