  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized House Republicans for holding hearings on "woke" government instead of crisises like the train derailment in Ohio. John Iadarola, Cenk Uygur, and Jordan Uhl discuss on The Young Turks. Watch TYT LIVE on weekdays 6-8 pm ET. ruclips.net/user/theyoungturkslive

    "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tore into House GOP leadership’s “priorities” on Thursday, declaring there are “actual crises” happening in the U.S. while Republicans in Congress call for hearings on “wokeness” in the federal workforce.
    “I can’t help but communicate that I find frustrating is that there are actual crises happening in this country. Couple of weeks ago there was a devastating, devastating derailment in East Palestine, Ohio,” Ocasio-Cortez began, referencing the early February train derailment and subsequent release of toxic chemicals that grabbed the nation’s attention last month.
    “And yesterday, I was just lucky enough to wrap up a hearing early and I was going back to my office. It was not scheduled. It wrapped up early and there were people from East Palestine at my door. Because they weren’t getting a response in in their own other levels of government,” she continued, adding:"

      She is smart?? She has no concept of scale when talking about costs and tax funds. That is a perfect example of lack of intelligence. She didn't understand that a 3.5 billion Amazon tax break ("benefits") in building a headquarter in her district in NYC wasn't money for her to spend after she fought and drove them out. She then later proceeded to say we need to use that 3.5 billion on xyz even though there was no Amazon to generate revenue. When she talks about taxes on talk shows, she is off by multiple factors of scale. Oh she doesn't know what a garbage disposal is either....lol Come on, there are many smart people left and right to the aisle, AOC is one of the few who is just so far off in understanding of numbers and scale.

      First, there is nothing conservative about the republican party, we need to call them what they are, extreme fascists right-wingers(messaging people, we need to do it too, it works very well against us so let's at the very least use the same tools.
      2nd, after having the attempt to define woke, ask them the same for socialism. Any republican I've ever encountered who refers to socialism in a negative way I ask that very simple question "what is socialism? Can you define it for me? " and when they either conflate it definition with a totalitarian government or admit they cannot define it as they have no idea as to why exactly as they had responded with "its so bad and it always fails, look at Venezuela " I always point out how so you are repeating something and debating using talking points you've picked up and your literally taking a stance using words and terms you don't even know what they mean?! And I always quick end that convo(bc these types of people are not naturally curious and they really piss me off) I bet you if I spent the 2-5 min to explain what socialism is, I bet you'd be on board, bc you have been already ok with many different small forms throughout our entire lives.

      Yes, I do. I wonder if it's possible to pinpoint exactly who began using that term on the right. Of course, it's become sooooo overused by them now, it's more like a caricature - a cartoonish overused catch phrase. Kind of like "let's go Brandon." The GOP base is certainly not a wellspring of creativity or originality. They latch on to whatever their cult leaders are using and completely wear it out until the next round of memes inspire them.

      You're not using the dictionary definition of "woke" because that word as used by the right essentially translates to "political beliefs on the left that I dislike/disagree with." Wokeness/Degeneracy is taking over our society, our schools, our banking system, our businesses, our government, in order to install a socialist/leftist agenda. It's the same narrative used by the nazis to lump every political narrative they disagree with into one word to create scapegoats.

      When during the Trump administration the 1/5th of wage earners had their incomes rise the fastest of all groups. That was the first time that had happened since the George W Bush administration.
      Because both Trump and W. used Kennedy's theory of using lower taxes, less immigration, deregulation, and smaller government to tighten up the labor market. Which raises wages, allows mobility, allows for advancement, and gives people dignity.
      Compare that to the Democrat policies of using high taxes, over regulation, open immigration, and big government to put permanent slack into the labor market. Which drives down wages and drives up housing prices at the same time, to the point tens of millions of people don't have any money left over at the end of the month. And it's the low wages at the bottom that allows the excesses at the top, causing the wealth gap.
      Raising the bottom 1/5th of wage earners wealth relative to everyone else is something liberals will never be able to do because of their policies.
      If AOC cared about poor and working class people, she would be a Kennedy Reagan conservative.

    It is extremely discouraging that the concept of “woke” has been completely being distorted by the “right”and Republicans.

    Bernie needs to run for president again and pick AOC as his vice president but he might be too old. We need the younger generation to lead the country now and focus on helping ALL the people regardless of party.

    Can someone please define the word "woke?" Why is there so much talk about this word? AOC is right, the GOP is distracted and not addressing what really matters.

    The GOP needs to focus on more productive matters rather than focus on dramatic slang terms that mean nothing other than to perpetuate the embarrassing drama they have become known for. First, the term "fake news", and next, "woke government". These are distractions that disordered personalities use to keep us going around and around on the hampster wheel. They are an insult to the intelligence of our nation.
