Here We Go Again: Birthers - The Next Generation

Rex Huppke write in the Chicago Tribune that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez really wasn't born in Puerto Rico, but in Venezuela. 馃檮

There's enough to be critical of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez than to start a birther campaign against her like Donald Trump did against Barack Obama.

Ummm, did you actually read the article? This is [b][i][u]SATIRE[/u][/i][/b].

BTW, AOC was born in the Bronx, not Puerto Rico.

Please read the article.

@Northwest AOC鈥檚 quotes often seem like satire.

@Northwest Not to push the classic line of racism but saying Obama is from Kenya is just another way to stoke racial tensions. I know that line of Obama being from Kenya is complete crap but even if someone was from Kenya, it doesn't mean they wouldn't make a good president. I bet there's lots of people out there who actually have great ideas on how to solve poverty for instance but won't be heard because they have no power.

This world would be a lot better place if we elected people based on merits and what they could actually do versus from what they're told to do.

@Northwest That's exactly what it is. I mean I meant to read it fully but I'm just so used to the nuttery around here and other places.

As someone from Chicago who reads the Tribune on a regular basis, don't worry, we're all well aware of how ass fucking backwards Huppke is.

@BlueMetalChick Read the article, please.

@Northwest The fact remains that Huppke has written a lot of weird stupid shit over the years. He once did a piece on why the Chicago Blackhawks "had lost all hope of making the playoffs". They not only made the playoffs but won the Stanley Cup that year.

Folks like me who are Democratic centrists are feeling the squeeze. I鈥檓 concerned the AOC wing is going to get that beast re-elected.
