WATCH: Does AOC want to ‘euthanize the hell’ out of Texas?
Cockburn is a great admirer of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In an age when even stand-up comics allow themselves to be intimidated by the woke scolds of the left, AOC is a one-woman Alamo, fearlessly defending her right to talk absolute gibberish. Republicans like to think that Democrats don’t know the country outside their blue-state cities, but AOC isn’t afraid to slum it in red America. In January, when her constituents in the Bronx were enduring the double blow of a New York winter and Covid checks before they could get indoors, AOC went clubbing in Florida, the magic kingdom of Ron DeSantis, went maskless in a drag bar and picked up a case of Covid as a souvenir.
