Ocasio-Cortez attacks fact-checkers for calling her out / exposing her lies

[DandyDonovan]

Um she already has, if she starts making fun of reporters and grabbing pussies, she'll be the Democratic version of Trump

Yet, you'll take the Tax Cuts, Great Economy, Historically Low Unemployment, Job Creation, Low Gasoline, and Energy Prices that Trump helped enable?

Gotta love effing hypocrites.

What the fuck are you talking about? Hypocrite? What?

I can appreciate Trump's policies while acknowledging that he is shall we say loose with the facts.

That is called being a non partisan dolt. Some yall , on BOTH sides, should try it.

 

[H B Lowrie]

Do alert us when she goes all "fake news"/"alternative facts" with this type of thing, K?

Um she already has, if she starts making fun of reporters and grabbing pussies, she'll be the Democratic version of Trump

Best we can ever do is the lesser of two evils, sounds utterly american.

 

[deanrd]

So you guys made me do it. I'm looking it up right now.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's file

So lets start off with the first one.

Ocasio-Cortez wrong on scale of Pentagon accounting errors

Referring to the Pentagon 21 trillion in accounting errors:

Rather, the $21 trillion figure refers to a collection of transactions in which the same dollar could have been transferred between internal accounts multiple times. As such, it’s comparing apples and oranges to say that "Pentagon accounting errors" would have been equivalent to two-thirds of Medicare for All’s projected 10-year costs.

So she was wrong about an accumulative amount but rather about, well, here is how they say it:
Lindorff said his findings suggest large-scale sloppiness in accounting and potentially deliberate obfuscation to deter congressional oversight — but not a fixed budgetary amount that could have theoretically been applied to other uses.

While some of the $21 trillion may be real expenditures, Lindorff said, "clearly most of it is simply fictitious numbers designed to obfuscate the accounting and keep the Pentagon accounting from being seriously monitored. It would be wrong to suggest that that is real money that could have been used to fund something else more useful to society."
-----

In other words, she was not understanding what the report was telling her. It was a report on the sloppiness of Pentagon reporting. What is says is we need to find out what is actually going on in the Pentagon.

On to the next one.

"Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has been called out by fact-checkers at a steady clip since her upset primary win last year over then-Rep. Joe Crowley. She's apparently had enough. On Monday, she took aim at PolitiFact and The Washington Post fact-check unit for supposedly singling her out.

“Facts are facts, America. We should care about getting things right. Yet standards of who gets fact-checked, how often + why are unclear,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Monday. “This is where false equivalency + bias creeps in, allowing climate deniers to be put on par w/ scientists, for example.”

So AOC claims the fact-checkers are guilty of false equivalency & bias for pointing out her lies because they allow people who do not agree with her radical stance on Global Warming are allowed to say things she disagrees with?

She also suggested the reason she has been caught in so many lies, which she does not really deny are lies, is because the fact-checkers CHECK HER STATEMENTS FOR VALIDITY JUST AS OFTEN AS THEY CHECK THOSE OF THE WH AND PRESIDENT, that if they spent MORE of their time fact-checking the WH and President instead of checking them all equally she would be caught lying a whole lot less often!

"Her argument was not so much that the columns were wrong but that they should be scrutinizing the Trump White House more. Ocasio-Cortez complained that PolitiFact fact-checked her the “same” amount of times as White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders."

Give it a rest dude, no one has said she needs to be a submissive female. They are saying she needs to be more honest, which I believe I have read YOU say about Trump.

The difference, of course, is people like you are partisan shit stains who only care about honesty from "the other side"

Here is her first "Pants on Fire":

No, Ocasio-Cortez never said that quote mocking socialism

OK, it's not what she said, it's a lie about her.

That was a short one.

Are you suggesting 'whining about being exposed as a liar because you feel being fact-checked as often as everyone else is 'unfair'' is 'admirably not being submissive'?

Attempting to dismiss an entire proven article about things AOC has stated by cherry-picking one thing hardly 'dismisses' the entire thread. Bwuhahahaha....... FAIL.

He is suggesting that women are weak and thus when questioned about anything should fall back on the "you can't criticize me that's sexism" routine.

Because in truth Democrats are the party of white men who hate minorities, including women.

 

[deanrd]

This is the next one and this is her statement:

"Just last year we gave the military a $700 billion dollar budget increase, which they didn’t even ask for," Ocasio-Cortez said July 26. "They were like, we don’t want another fighter jet! Don’t give us another nuclear bomb. They didn’t even ask for it. And we gave it to them."

The response at her being called out on this statement?

First off, Ocasio-Cortez fudged the figures, which her campaign acknowledged in an email.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez overplays defense budget increase

So they admitted she was wrong? Wow, who does that? Not Republicans and certainly not Trump.

-----------
Congress gave the military a $61 billion increase from fiscal year 2017 to 2018. The total military budget for 2018 was $700 billion. That includes the Department of Defense and elements of other agencies, chiefly Energy Department programs pertaining to nuclear weapons.

For 2018, that’s more money than President Donald Trump’s budget requested (roughly $668 billion).

-------------

Seems she was right congress gave more money than the Trump budget asked for. Usually, it's the other way around:
Obama usually requested more money than Congress granted (unlike Trump, whose proposed 2018 budget was upped by Congress).

Hilarious! The Republican Congress. We know what they thought of Obama:

Interesting. I personally just see it as attempting to defend a socialist Democrats who is complaining about getting busted for lying, seeking to make it anyone else's fault except the liar.

Good example is Dean attempting to claim something even AOC is not disputing is incorrect. He is trying to claim that AOC, the young socialist who believes Israel is trying to build settlements in PALESTINE, is incapable of lying.

I guess if you credit it to her being ignorant yet believing what she says instead of intentionally lying he might have a point.

Ocasio-Cortez: NYC has 3 vacancies for each homeless person

Oh, sorry, seems she was right about that.

 

[deanrd]

So what about Sarah Huckabee Sanders:

All statements involving Sarah Huckabee Sanders | PolitiFact

I'm not going to dignify repeating her lies.

The question is, if she repeats Trump's lies, are they hers? Isn't that what she's getting paid for? Lying to America?

 

[deanrd]

So enjoy the reading slimes.

Learn what you are talking about and you too, can have a fruitful and dignified conversation.

OK, no one can have a fruitful and dignified conversation with anything attached to Trump.

But we tried.

You are truly a dumb shit, stop making excuses for the woman simply because of which party she is in. She, like Trump, needs to do a better job of getting her facts straight. Sad that more people can't simply say that.
