HIRSCHAUER: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is A Millennial’s Millennial

John Hirschauer

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the hero millennials deserve. Her cocksure ignorance befits a generation that despises its elders, shouts down its superiors and scoffs at its history, all because they’re confident — no, certain — that they are more virtuous than you.

When she decried the Israeli “occupation” of Palestine — whatever that means — and was subsequently pressed on the subject in a now-infamous PBS interview, she ceded that she’s “not an expert on geopolitics on this issue.” She has given completely incoherent answers when asked how she is going to pay for the multi-trillion dollar entitlement programs she’s proposing, offering little beyond emotive adjectives and the assurance that she has spoken with a “Nobel Prize economist.”
