CNN’s Chris Cuomo interviewed left-wing darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and naturally asked why she didn’t attend Biden’s inauguration. Her reason, she said, was that she and some of her colleagues “don’t yet feel safe around other Members of Congress.”
Cuomo, making an awkward attempt to speak in her generational tongue, asked for her to clarify. “You really think that colleagues of yours in Congress may do you dirty?”
Of course, she said. After all, people have guns there, which is just unacceptable in the District of Columbia. “For individuals who don’t know,” she says, “guns are not allowed in the District of Columbia.”
We’ve become accustomed to such displays of pure ignorance from the young bartender/taco waitress–turned-congresswoman, but there’s something in this exchange that seems particularly instructive.
