AOC was a waitress, let’s shit on shitty people for their shitty actions. Let’s not shit on them because they worked “unskilled jobs” that’s just elitism. I’m sure this guy has skeletons in his 22 year old closet, but being a gardener isn’t one of them.
AOC was a waitress after attending Boston University where she double-majored in international relations and economics.
Fugate (the chode in the picture) attended UT SA until 2024 with no documented majors. no military experience. no counterterrorism training.
he did work as an intern at the Heritage Foundation until his appointment to this current position.
so tell me, why do you feel the need to draw a relationship between Fugate and AOC when they are obviously no where near related?
You bring up another point, the whole need to point out someone’s university education. Just as elitist implying that people who aren’t college educated are idiots. It’s champagne liberalism, trying to be a leftist while looking down your nose at people who couldn’t afford or get to have a university education.
I don’t care about her education. You don’t need that to be a good person or leader. I just drew the comparison because it’s clear and obvious.
I’m sure fugate is very unqualified, but it has nothing to do with his past work as a gardener. Stop being so stuck up
This is why the American left is drowning, after catching fire. The rest of us around the world are all watching it in disbelief. Just like the American right, you guys just really gave in to divisiveness and hate and looking down on others. Can’t say im not enjoying watching you all drown
It's called punching up.
