AOC Just Perfectly Ripped A Republican Strategist Who Said He Fears Public Internet Even More Than Universal Healthcare

AOC Just Perfectly Ripped A Republican Strategist Who Said He Fears Public Internet Even More Than Universal Healthcare

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is known for her social media prowess.

She's doled out almost as many clapbacks as policy proposals.

Thursday was no different when Ocasio-Cortez responded to Republican strategist Patrick Ruffini, who announced that he'd be more distressed by public internet than public healthcare.


It all started when Democratic senator and 2020 presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren proposed forming a federal office of Broadband Access, allowing for every American to have internet.

Ruffini didn't like that too much.

That's when Ocasio-Cortez pointed out the flaws in his logic by asking him about an infamously mundane task.

As many know, Comcast customer service is roundly criticized.

The business has a one star rating on Yelp and a quick twitter search will reveal multiple dissatisfied customers ready to throw their phones at a wall rather than wait on hold for another second.

Ruffini tried to clap back by mentioning a publicly run facility whose customer service also leaves a lot to be desired.

But does the DMV really have people that mad?

The answer appears to be no.






In fact, people thought DMV jokes were a little tired.



Looks like AOC has won the internet again. Republicans, why do you keep poking the bear?

The film Sicko about for profit healthcare in the United States is available here.

Stranger Things Millie Bobby Brown has called out the media—again—for their portrayal of her appearance in their headlines.

Brown's career was hard-launched when she was ten years old when she introduced the iconic "Eleven" character in the Stranger Things franchise, and the public has really struggled to accept the fact that she's a human being who will grow and change like the rest of us, meaning she can't stay ten years old forever.

Newsom Offers Scathing One-Word Response To 8 Democrats Who Caved And Voted With GOP To End Shutdown

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the eight Democratic Senators who voted with Republicans to end the government shutdown by advancing a spending deal that notably omits an extension of expanded Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies.

Under the current agreement, the enhanced subsidies would expire, though senators would have the option to revisit the issue later in the year. Supporters of the compromise say that deferring the vote was the only viable path forward, as many Republicans refused to discuss the subsidies until the government reopened.

Trump Slammed After Seemingly Believing Patently False Post From Satirical Website About Obama

President Donald Trump was called out after he shared an article headline about former President Barack Obama—without realizing it came from a satirical news site published nearly nine months earlier.

The post came from the Dunning-Kruger Times, a satirical website, claiming that Obama is making millions in "royalties" from Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies. The piece from the site makes the specific false claim that the advisory Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had stopped paying Obama $2.6 million a year in "royalties associated with Obamacare."
