Good for her......not being the submissive female that old white males want."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."

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'?
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.
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:
And who’s going to pay for the utilities, food, clothing?
