Unfortunately, her interview merely revealed that she is a spoiled rich kid with no comprehension of what ordinary Americans are experiencing. She tried to respond to Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s announcement that she intended to pay her staff a {gasp} living wage. Previously on Fox News this was greeted with a <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=40677\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pathetic display of math illiteracy<\/a><\/strong>. And <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/ivanka-trump-challenges-ocasio-cortez-platform-says-americans-dont-want-guaranteed-minimum\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ivanka&#8217;s response<\/a><\/strong> was equally embarrassing:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;I don\u2019t think most Americans, in their heart, want to be given something. I\u2019ve spent a lot of time traveling around this country over the last 4 years. People want to work for what they get. So, I think that this idea of a guaranteed minimum is not something most people want.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So a woman who has lived her entire life off of what she was given by daddy is certain that other Americans wouldn&#8217;t want fair compensation for their work, which is all that Ocasio-Cortez is proposing. If this is what Ivanka learned from four years of traveling around the country, she has a severe learning disability. But she does have an excellent grasp of the sort of harebrained talking points required to be a Fox News pundit.<\/p>\n<p>The obsession that Fox News is nursing every day is evidence that Ocasio-Cortez is one of the new class of representatives who Fox fears the most. There is no other explanation for how maniacally focused they are on her. She was only sworn in a month and a half ago, but Fox&#8217;s most prominent hosts are fixated squarely on her every word (as well as her youth, clothes, and dancing ability). The entire primetime roster on Fox all featured her on their programs Monday night. They were also transcribed into op-eds for the Fox website. The amusingly alarmist headlines and ledes were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sean Hannity: It&#8217;s scary how prominent Dems, the media are supporting Ocasio-Cortez and her socialist views.<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;We are once again featuring the 29-year-old socialist from New York who is both revered and feared inside her own party. [&#8230;] But now, she is taking her insane views even a step further.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Laura Ingraham: Spike Lee, Smollett, Ocasio-Cortez and her mini-mes tell us lots about modern day liberalism.<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Like most of today&#8217;s social justice warriors, Ocasio-Cortez truly believes she is always morally right. And that notion entitles her to be one of the leaders of not the #MeToo movement, but the &#8216;Me-me-me&#8217; movement.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Tucker Carlson: How dumb, arrogant Ocasio-Cortez became the boss of the Democratic Party<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;It&#8217;s a measure of how cowardly impassive everyone has become all of a sudden that a chorus of right-thinking Democrats hasn&#8217;t told this idiotic windbag to be quiet and take a seat.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are the extreme, unhinged, and disrespectful lengths that the Foxies will go to in order to malign a committed, intelligent young woman who stepped up to serve her country. And the fear that she has stirred in their shriveled hearts is unmistakable. This is the sort of full-court press that the right generally reserves for Kenyan-born, terrorist-sympathizing, Muslim atheist commies who stole the presidency by actually getting a majority of the popular vote.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez has earned this vitriol in record time.
