Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, seems to be trying to outdo herself in the unbelievable commentary department.
And “unbelievable” might be an understatement, as she has claimed that MAGA supporters who voted for President Donald Trump are asking her how they can become Democratic Socialists. Because apparently disagreeing with the president on something results in a fundamental change of core economic and political beliefs, in whatever world she’s living in.
Watch:
AOC: ‘Trump voters are pulling me aside and saying they want to join democratic socialism.’ 😳
MAGA — what’s your real reaction to this latest whopper?

She was answering a question from one of her followers, who wondered, “how will you welcome previous trump voters now interested in democratic socialism?”
“I want to say this right now, I fully welcome Trump voters into our coalition. And I know that sounds crazy to some people, but just hear me out,” she said. “I can’t tell you- it just happened to me like two weeks ago- I can’t tell you how many times someone pulled me aside and said either ‘I was once a big Trump voter and a Trump supporter and I watched Fox News every day but then I started to kind of expand my world and where I got information and now I’ve learned and now I’ve changed and I’m with you, and I learn from you’ or people who meet me who are really big Republicans now and they are shocked when they meet me because they’re like ‘You are nothing like I was told you are.’ And you start to see the cogs turning, that maybe everything that they had been told from this one channel or this one ecosystem isn’t the whole truth and it is enough to spark a curiosity that makes people want to go down a longer journey of learning.”
X users weighed in on AOC’s political fanfiction:
I will take things that didn’t happen for 1000 please Alex.

She obviously wants to date him.
Democrats seem unable to tell the truth. About anything.

I have a job and a family. So do most MAGA people.
I doubt anyone like me would endorse endless government so AOC et al can show that she/they are delusional.

She’s a liar! No one on the right would suddenly flip far left.

It is a toss up as to what AOC’s biggest problem is, being incredibly stupid or being a pathological liar.
