AOC a 'full blown nincompoop': Panahi

Sky News host Rita Panahi says Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has gone “full blown nincompoop” for suggesting the use of the word “surge” when it comes to the crisis at the border is attempting to invoke a “militaristic frame".

“They want to say ‘but what about the surge?’” she told her millions of Instagram followers.

“First of all, just gut check, stop. Anyone who's using the term ‘surge’ around you consciously is trying to invoke a militaristic frame.

“And that's a problem because this is not a surge, these are children and they are not insurgents and we are not being invaded, which by the way is a white supremacist idea-philosophy, the idea that if another is coming in the population that this is an invasion of who we are.”

"Special isn't she?" Love the Australians use of subtle sarcasm

[pamelashannon]

I’m so impressed that she learned a new word last week. “Carceral”. Now if she would only learn the word “idiot”…

[yvettemoore]

"she's really special isn't she"....Rita keeps me sane

[kathryngrace]

What an embarrassment to our country...

To quote something I saw on another thread, "A.O.C. The only waitress in history, to bring NOTHING to the table", say's it all right there

It is so messed up that I have to watch Australian news to hear the truth about what's happening in my own country. Thank you for keeping it real. Love your show!

When someone has to move the phone in and out like a child, you know they're trying to cover up and distract from the load of horse manure they're shoveling.

I think Rita's being almost too kind here, AOC's wires are so crossed it's a miracle if any lights are on.

[trubizu]

It’s a shame we can’t get honest news here in the states, thank you Australia

[craigkimble]

Wow, hard to find such honest reporting in the U.S. thanks!

[gretatagliavia]

Thank you!!! Rita is one of the first people to point out that surge and insurgent are not related...in the

[MetalMiIIs]

"Why does Alexandria think..."

She doesn't, that's the problem.

[TheTugboatgirl]

"Full blown nincompoop" absolutely spot on. But every time she says stupid stuff that's not good enough, she doubles down and says something even dumber

[milesipka]

There's a saying that exposes this insanity:
Those who spend their lives bringing suspicions onto others are themselves the ones with secrets to hide.

[VasanthSesh]

It's been years since I've heard the word "nincompoop" but it's worth the wait when it's used on the most deserving person.

[wyattfamily]

Mark Twain must have had A.O.C. in mind when he said, "No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot." He had it so right.

[geraldinetavares]

THANK GOD SOMEONE AGREES, RITA, YOUR A breath of fresh air.

[ReinEngel]

She has convinced herself that everything she says and thinks is true, and the fact that other people disagree with her is literally driving her insane... very, very quickly, even for Washington D.C.
