Remind us how being a bartender qualified you to be a member of Congress creating laws, voting on bills that impact Americans & the world.— PARIS (@PARISDENNARD) June 30, 2019
Let’s not go there & start comparing your resume to @IvankaTrump’s experience & resume.
She also takes no salary. Way to support women... https://t.co/xM8PBkfyIF
To begin with, the qualification of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is that she's an elected U.S. Representative. Which election did Ivanka Trump win? Besides which:
As always, I‘m proud of my work in restaurants.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 30, 2019
I also worked for Sen. Ted Kennedy, piloted literacy projects in the South Bronx, studied Development Economics in W Africa, served as an Educational Director & won international science competitions before I ran for office, too.
Ivanka's qualifications for public service? Her father's name, and her relationship to him. And if you want to bring up Bobby Kennedy, he was confirmed to be U.S. Attorney General by the U.S. Senate. Who confirmed Ms. Trump to her position?
But getting back to Mr. Dennard:
But getting back to Mr. Dennard:
Working people that GOP dismiss as “just a waitress/cook/etc” contain multitudes, & are just as capable & intelligent as anyone.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 30, 2019
Classism - judging someone’s character by their income - is disappointing to see from them.
What is so appalling to GOP about having an honest job?
Some of the most nuanced, intelligent, & grounded people I‘ve ever met weren’t at BU, MIT or Harvard events when I was a student.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 30, 2019
They were the plumbers & waitresses I hung out with at happy hour, who had ferocious intellectual curiosity *and* a lived context of the real world.
That's been my experience, as well. Sort of the Jeffersonian ideal, if you will.
In other words, Republicans who criticize my being a waitress as evidence of lacking skill can take their classism to the trash.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 30, 2019
You are insulting the capacities and potential of virtually every working person in America (&the 🌎) for having experience that’s earned, not bought.
(And that’s if they even take out their own trash, which I doubt)— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 30, 2019
Is this the appropriate place to excuse myself because I have some house-cleaning chores?
What's wrong with this picture?
