I would prefer this woman get little or no attention, then maybe she would dry up and blow away. Still this is worth reporting as it well captures the mindset of Leftist in general. Who cares about those pesky facts?

Recently elected Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says it doesn’t much matter much if she gets her basic facts correct – so long as she's “morally right" in the end.

Shortly after touting her proposal to raise top federal income tax brackets to a stunning 70 percent, the self-described Democratic socialist told Anderson Cooper during a 60 Minutes interview that her critics are much more concerned with facts than feelings, suggesting it doesn’t really matter that elected lawmakers always get their specifics right.

When Cooper pointed out the Washington Post gave Ocasio-Cortez four Pinnochios for screwing up her facts when it came to Pentagon spending, the New York representative shrugged it off as no big deal.

“If people want to really blow up one figure here or one word there, I would argue that they’re missing the forest for the trees,” Ocasio-
Cortez responded. “I think that there’s a lot of people who are more concerned about being precisely, factually and semantically correct than about being morally right.”

Then, after Cooper pointed out that being factually correct is...well, actually pretty important, she backtracked.

“It is absolutely important. And whenever I make a mistake, I say, ‘OK, this was clumsy.’ And then I restate what my point was," she said.

" Facts are mere constructs by the toxic white male patriarchy."

I knew it. I knew it.

There are a whole bunch of people in the Democratic party who have been busting their asses to make sure that women get what they need, people get what they need, children get what they need...
