She supposedly has a degree in economics and stated that the reason the unemployment rate is low is because people work 2 jobs and 60 hr. work weeks. I don't care what side of the fence you sit on if you don't think that's a monumentally ignorant statement you got issues.I haven't heard her--but I have a feeling that your opinion of her "proclamations" might be a bit colored by your disagreement with her basic premises. No?"Debate" and "interview" mean different things.Ocasio-Cortez dismisses Ben Shapiro's debate offer, compares to 'catcalling'
Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday dismissed an offer from conservative commentator Ben Shapiro challenging her to a debate, saying she doesn’t “owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions.”
“Just like catcalling, I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Thursday night. “And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one.”
Shapiro fired back at Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter while defending his offer:
"Discussion and debate are not “bad intentions.” Slandering someone as a sexist catcaller without reason or evidence does demonstrate cowardice and bad intent, however."
My, my, my. That's the "future of the Democratic Party", is it?
I wonder if she whipped out her Woman Card and claimed it was "catcalling" when Stephen Colbert asked to interview her. That request was probably "unsolicited", too.
So much for her claims that Republicans are afraid of HER. Looks the other way 'round to me.
yes, they do. and legitimate candidates do both. She is extremely ignorant, makes idiotic proclamations, and comes off as a pathetic whining baby.
but that's the future of your party, Obama and Clinton killed the party of Truman and Kennedy and this is all you have left.
She's young, she probably hasn't gotten her details worked out yet since she didn't expect to win the nomination, but you could be right. A lot of politicians don't have the details down, just the sound bytes. I seem to recall Trump was pretty famous for that during the campaign. Couldn't seem to get him to explain what in hell he was planning to actually DO except repeal and replace.....build that wall that Mexico will pay for.....stop all immigration of Muslims....make America safe again....
Bumper sticker campaigning isn't actually unheard of.

The point is, this woman accomplished something pretty remarkable in a very peculiar voting district. And now she is being feted all over the country on interview shows where she is asked fatuous questions and allowed to ramble on without interruption or contradiction, on subjects where her content is nothing but vacuous blather. She shows herself as not particularly intelligent or well-informed, and certainly not worthy of being elevated to the informal position of, "The Future of the Democratic Party!"
Hence, Shapiro tries to embarrass her with a tongue-in-cheek offer of a campaign contribution in exchange for a "debate," knowing that she wouldn't accept such an invitation in a thousand years. She would be annihilated.

I don't think it was tongue-in-cheek. I think he very much expected her to run and hide like a scared little girl - as she, in fact, did - but I also think he's quite serious about being willing to have the debate/interview/whatever, if she ever puts on her big-girl panties and takes his challenge.
And yes, he'd take her positions apart like a cheap watch.
No surprise here she will continue her media appearances on CNN and MSNBC where she will get lots of praise and no serious questions about her views or policy positions.
Why in God's name should she debate some loony RW radio squawk jock who would have nothing but bad intent and why would you compare it to going on Colbert's show? Stephen had no interest in "debating" her.
Hell, she has little reason to debate Anthony Pappas - the dude she's actually RUNNING against (in a district where Ds outnumber Rs 6-1) who hasn't received a single donation.
Pappas may as well go back to bed

I agree. Most opponents want to debate. It gives them a chance to put forth their opinion on a subject and what they will do.
The fact that this idiot doesn't want to debate and then insults the other party speaks volumes.
Sure hope she never makes it.
I never claimed Trump or Republicans don’t do the same thing but I don’t recall any Republican claiming being challenged to a debate was some form of harassment. So please get real yourself.No surprise here she will continue her media appearances on CNN and MSNBC where she will get lots of praise and no serious questions about her views or policy positions.
Yes, and when was the last time Trump went on CNN or MSNBC for an interview let alone a "debate"?
Early 2016 as I recall - Morning Joe.
Please get real
"Debate" and "interview" mean different things.
yes, they do. and legitimate candidates do both. She is extremely ignorant, makes idiotic proclamations, and comes off as a pathetic whining baby.
Isn't it?There would only be one reason to fear her and that's if stupidity was contagious.

He's not even her OPPONENT - Just a Squawk Talk Loon who wants to set a trap for 15 minutes of fame.

No, he just challenged her views.Who is Ben Shapiro?
Aren't debates usually between candidates? Is he running for something?
He would probably eat her up. Especially considering she is extremely ignorant.

Well if she's a good as you seem to think she is she'd debate anyone and everyone to get her message out there.
Guess she's not that good.
