Ocasio-Cortez: Debate Request Is Sexual Harassment!

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I’d like to see her debate he actual Republican candidate. Why aren’t we supporting him? Yeah he is a long shot but seriously the alternative is giving that idiot the seat

There is probably no Republican running

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.

"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.

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.

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?
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.

Trump always follows the constitution and supports small government and the freedoms of the bill or rights, this ignorant child wants socialism and is too young and stupid to understand that socialism never works.

Trump never said that he wanted to ban all muslims, only that we need to properly vet them before letting them in, and the ones from countries where there are no valid records should be vetted the strongest, that makes sense to anyone who can think logically. Obamacare was the worst piece of legislation in the history of this nation, it needs to be repealed and replaced, and that is happening in a proper and logical way, America is safer than its been in years, and the economy is booming. promises made, promises kept.

The wall will be built and fair trade practices with Mexico will generate much of the money to pay for it. Federal revenues are at record levels even with the tax cuts.

But all you libs and dems get behind ocasio-Cortez, she is your future and its a future of failure.

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.

Shapiro - 1
Alexandria - 0

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.

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.

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

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.

She has as much use for Shapiro as a fish does for a bicycle. You people have lost your minds.

Nah. You are the only one who has lost his mind. Hell did you have one to begin with??

 

[DrLove]

She does kinda look like a younger, hotter Huma.

She's definitely easy on my eyes and hard to take them off of

 

[Redfish]

She is not running for president.
She is out campaigning for candidates and doing all kinds of interviews.
Methinks she is scared of being questioned. She KNOWS she is ignorant.
But maybe you are right. Maybe she believes she is above these non campaigning peons. I mean, my gawd, intellectual debate is for the birds anyways

Just name me one candidate who debated a conservative talk show host during the last election or any other time. Could have happened, I'm just not thinking of any. An interview is one thing. Chuck Wallace does those. A debate is something else.

People running for political office debate news casters all the darn time OL. Have you ever watched mainstream news before? lol
Ben is a lawyer and writer anyways. Not a news anchor

So how is he such a famous dude, according to the OP? I said conservative talk show host, not news anchor.

he isnt a talk show host either. IDK google him lol

No.

so rather than educate yourself its easier to just parrot the talking points-----------typical libtardian

 

[BookShaka]

No, he just challenged her views.
He would probably eat her up. Especially considering she is extremely ignorant.

So that would be like Hillary agreeing to debate Hannity or something?
Yeah, that is a reasonable request. Done all the time.
I have to say, I think she's right on this one.

He’s a pundit.

 

[jc456]

Who is Ben Shapiro?
Aren't debates usually between candidates? Is he running for something?

why wouldn't she want to debate a republican to show who she is? What she stands for? why is she afraid of him? BTW, that is all rhetorical. you all are fraidy cats.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

He offered to donate $10k to her campaign or a charity if she so chose. While I agree she certainly doesn't have to accept for the reason you say, she could have simply said that instead of that absurd response of hers. It downplays and takes credibility away from real accounts of sexism and misogyny.

The bottom line is she'd get her clock cleaned and she knows it, so she responded the way a radical SJW would.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

She is afraid because he is 100000x more knowledgreable and educated than AOC. Then again, so is an average 6th grader.

You have no clue what you’re talking about.

Bumper sticker campaigning isn't actually unheard of.

Over 1.5 years in, and Trump STILL knows nothing about the world, policy, or anything else other than the politics of corruption, cruelty, resentment and racial anxiety.

really? NK is at the table for the first time ever, sanctions have been increased on Russia and Iran, trade deals with China and the EU have been put in place that are fair to the USA. NATO members are paying their fair share finally. The stupid Paris climate accords have been cancelled, the stupid Iran nuke deal has been cancelled. I would say that he is doing an excellent job internationally.

but you are free to continue the lies and talking points, and continue to prove your partisan stupidity.

 

[whitehall]

It's kind of a weird response but why would a democrat candidate owe a debate to Ben Shapiro?

 

[BookShaka]

She does kinda look like a younger, hotter Huma.

She's definitely easy on my eyes and hard to take them off of

She’d probably call you a sexist for saying that LMAO

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

It's kind of a weird response but why would a democrat candidate owe a debate to Ben Shapiro?

Not "owe". He runs the largest conservative podcast in the country. If the Dems want to have their ideas heard and switch some voters over this is the way to do it. He has debated many democrats, including Sam Harris and Eric Weinstein.

She could have politely declined too. But she went all Leftist and irrational instead.

 

[Marion Morrison]

She could "eat me up" any day. I won't agree with her on politics, though.


Ben Shapiro is a smart man.

He gave away the farm to Baby Kim and Putin while accomplishing NOTHING.
But yes, he is certainly good at pissing off our allies and undoing international agreements leaving us powerless in the world.
Putin and Xi approve!

Nothing?

#1) No more tests or fly overs over Japan
#2) Killed 200+ Russian Mercs in Syria
#3) Imposed Crippling sanctions on Russia
#4) Armed the Ukranians (Obama would not do it)

I think your operational definition of "nothing" differs from the norm.
