WASHINGTON, D.C.—On Wednesday, New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez somehow got her head stuck inside a bucket. She was heard yelling, “Who turned out the lights?” while repeatedly running full speed into walls. Republicans immediately pounced, using this as proof that Ocasio-Cortez is “kind of a dummy.” Many journalists, on the other hand, leaped to Ocasio-Cortez’s defense, saying her getting her head firmly wedged inside of a plastic bucket was further proof of her being an intelligent and dynamic politician.
“Most people don’t have her scientific curiosity and intelligence,” said MSNBC pundit Chris Hayes. “Someone incurious like Trump would never look at a bucket and ask ‘Could my head fit inside that?’ But Ocasio-Cortez dives into such questions head first.”
“She is making a bold statement,” said CNN’s Chris Cuomo. “The bucket on her head is from Walmart, and she is saying loud and clear that corporations have blinded us all.”
Many activists also defended Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter, though they seemed confused about exactly how to defend her, some talking about how buckets are important to society and others calling for the destruction of all buckets.
As for Ocasio-Cortez, she is doubling down and refusing to apologize, even though the incident caused a huge delay for the Capitol janitorial staff. (Satire)
Yesterday I listened to the powerful testimony of Ms. Gray, a West Virginia nurse on the front lines of the opiod crisis.
She said, "We can't arrest our way out of this crisis."
Proud to pass this amendment w/ bipartisan support to move away from imprisonment &towards healing.
Mr. Ed with is at it again. This is by far the most outlandish thing she has said.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., made the explosive claim that women at a southern border
facility are being forced to drink "out of toilets," just hours after she toured one such location.
The New York Democrat said people of all ages were being mistreated and were "drinking out of toilets"
as the guards laughed at the migrants' plight right in front of her.
She also said she "forced herself" into one of the cells to get a better look and spoke with a woman
who claimed the guards were practicing "psychological warfare" on them by interrupting their sleep and
calling them "Whores."
Ocasio-Cortez traveled with other members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus none of which have yet to
corroborate her story.
