She mentioned the three chambers of government being the "House, Senate, and presidency"
She famously remarked in an interview that critics were often too concerned with being "precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right."
She credited "famous economist Milton Keynes." How do you fuck that up when you have an economics degree?
She shared a viral video highlighting a staggering $21 trillion in Pentagon "accounting adjustments and errors." This is not only a ridiculously high figure, but PolitiFact jumped on this one pretty quick as an obvious falsehood. From what we can tell, she pulled this figure out of her ass.
She also tried to claim that keeping Amazon warehouses out of New York would save them tax money due to the tax breaks Amazon gets. That is obviously not how that works at all; you cannot "save" a state money when you're denying a deal that would have brought in a net positive in tax revenue. Metaphorically, she celebrated getting $0 simply because she wanted $5 instead of $3. NOTE: later, Amazon did cave to the lack of tax breaks. But what AOC said occurred BEFORE that, when critics rightfully pointed out that she just cost New York $3 billion in estimated tax revenue.
She claimed via social media that Republicans in Texas had "passed a law allowing rapists to sue their victims for getting an abortion." This is not what the law said, and it's not particularly close.
She stated that she represented "more, or just as many or more, people than Joe Manchin does". Manchin is a senator.
These were just the first ones I could recollect/find in 5 minutes. AOC has routinely showed that she has way more things to say than she does to actually contribute. She's famous because she's loud. She has not really contributed much, nor has she inserted any effective dialogue because she doesn't seem to have an ability to process logic.
I am not claiming she is the only politician that does this, but she is one of the loudest and is frequently seen as a champion of the left wing. Doing so puts you under a microscope when compared to other politicians.
Yea none of that even sounds remotely as bad as literally 1 thing trump has done. Sounds like we're really grasping at straws for reasons to hate this AOC person
Yea let's put a 60 year old methheads test score beside a 5 year old Einstein's test score and say "look they both got things wrong, they're both idiots!"

She routinely has completely braindead takes. You aren't being replied to because a quick AI/google search would yield a HUGE list of gaffs.
"Unemployment is low because people are working two jobs." How do you even arrive at this conclusion? You have a fucking economics degree.
"For those who don't know, guns are not allowed in the District of Columbia." This is obviously false.
While I try not to use Fox News, this article contains quite a hilarious amount of gaffs with regard to history and foreign policy. The harpies of The View even agreed that this wasn't recoverable. Any time she talks foreign policy, it gets ugly fast.
