Generally I refuse to post anything about this foul woman, but this time she has gone too far, way too far.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) singled out a statue of Father Damien, a Catholic priest who ministered to a Hawaiian leper colony, as an example of “white supremacist culture.”

Father Damien, born Jozef de Veuster in Belgium, arrived in Hawaii in 1864 when the islands were an independent kingdom. The priest conducted missionary work on the islands and for the last 16 years of his life ministered to a leper colony, until he died after contracting leprosy himself. A statue of Father Damien stands in the U.S. Capitol.

“It’s not Queen Lili’uokalani…the only Queen Regnant of Hawaii, who is immortalized and whose story is told. It is Father Damien,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a Facebook story in which she lamented the absence of statues of female figures in the Capitol. “This is what patriarchy and white supremacist culture looks like!”

While still a princess, Lili’uokalani visited Father Damien at the colony to present him with honors from the Hawaiian royal government. In 2009, then-governor of Hawaii Linda Lingle proclaimed October 11 Saint Damien Day.

“In Hawai‘i, Damien remains a spiritual hero and an icon of love, compassion, courage, humility and humanitarian service,” Lingle said at the time.

At the time of Fr Damien leprosy was rampant in among the Hawaiians. Infected parties were unceremoniously dumped off shore of the island of Molokai, and when they waded to shore were met with a community ruled by lawlessness and brute force. Fr Damien volunteered to go there and minister to the sick. Largely through his efforts order was established and medical treatment was provided where there had been none. After 16 years of service to lepers of Molokai, Fr Damien contracted the disease himself and died at the age of 49. He was canonized a saint in October 2009 by Pope Benedict XVI.

He was not a perfect man and has his critics. But he was head and shoulders above AOC in his service to his fellow man, and she dares to criticize the honor he has received in our nation's capital.

AOC is proof that there is absolutely NO correlation between a college degree and intelligence. Dumber than a bag of hammers, meaner than a honey badger with a toothache, and more ignorant than ectoplasm!
