Shapiro Responds To Ocasio-Cortez: The Only One Trashing Working People Is You

On Thursday’s episode of “The Ben Shapiro Show,” Shapiro rebuts Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s tweet against his “plutocratic” ideas. In response to her post about the “manipulative tactics of plutocrats,” Shapiro counters, “One of the most manipulative tactics used by socialists is suggesting that free decision-making by individuals is actually the result of systemic pressures that cannot be avoided other than by people like AOC running your life.” Video and partial transcript below:

We are now in what — year two — of AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY) sniping at people and then refusing to talk to them. So, there is an open invitation to AOC anytime she wants to discuss this, or any other issue, she can come on the show. This is not “catcalling” as she put it, but she sort of “catcalled” me yesterday by her own standards. She tweeted out, “One of the most manipulative tactics plutocrats use is convincing people that the systemic issues we face are a character flaws instead of policy flaws.”
