Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), the reigning queen of the confidently incorrect, recently took her traveling circus of ignorance to the University of Chicago, where she somberly warned that GOP redistricting would “wipe out every black representative on the map” in Tennessee — a state that, in reality, has zero black representatives in Congress. It takes a special kind of “Economics Guru” to mourn the extinction of something that doesn’t exist, but for AOC, the facts have always been a secondary concern to the “vibes” of radical grievance. “When you’re watching states like Tennessee, watching wipe out every black representative on the map in these states, we have an obligation as Americans to stand with black Americans and communities whose representation is being disenfranchised,” Ocasio-Cortez pontificated.

Speaking at the Institute of Politics — founded by Obama advisor David Axelrod — Ocasio-Cortez didn’t stop at hallucinating Tennessee’s congressional delegation. She pivoted to a historical rewrite that would make a Soviet propagandist blush, asserting that the American Revolution was actually a war against the “billionaires of their time.” The reality, of course, is that the Revolution was bankrolled by the wealthiest men in the colonies — men like John Hancock and Robert Morris. Morris worked in tandem with Chaim Solomon, a Polish-born Jewish-American who went bankrupt financing the Continental Army. They didn’t fight to overthrow wealth but used their wealth to secure liberty. Unlike the failed, blood-soaked revolutions of France or Russia — fueled by the exact brand of class envy AOC propagates — the American founding wasn’t predicated on pillaging the successful. But this brand of “oatmeal for brains” logic is AOC’s stock-in-trade. Her greatest hits of stupidity include: The Amazon Blunder: She famously bragged about “saving” New York $3 billion by chasing Amazon out of Queens, fundamentally failing to understand that a tax break isn’t a bag of cash sitting in a vault. You can’t “spend” money that a company never brings to the city. The Billionaire Myth: On a recent podcast with Ilana Glazer, she claimed it is impossible to “earn” a billion dollars, suggesting wealth only comes from “breaking rules.” Apparently, inventing a product that millions of people value is just “market power” and “abuse.” Gun Law Illiteracy: She once told Chris Cuomo that “guns are not allowed in the District of Columbia,” a statement that came as a shock to the thousands of D.C. residents with legal permits and the members of Congress who, by law, are allowed to keep firearms in their offices. Whether she is shrieking about “wage theft” (which she defines as a company not paying what she thinks they should) or claiming the unemployment rate is low because everyone has two jobs, Ocasio-Cortez remains the ultimate proof that in the modern Democratic Party, historical literacy and basic math are entirely optional.
