I love how scared the right is by her their on a mission to destroy her and it's not working.

[bwsupyours]

This woman is wise beyond her years!!!!

[billybobbaldilocks]

The ppl who call AOC dumb supported Sarah Palin.

[christiankaina]

She is absolutely right and the fact that no one else is really saying that makes them complicit in my mind! More politicians should start speaking up! Vote Blue and let's restore American values!!!

[Lethgar_Smith]

All the negative comments say absolutely nothing about the substance of her speech

Madam representative Ocasio-Cortex, is a STEAMROLLER. she is unstoppable, and she is popular. People are starting to listen to her. And she is active. she is everywhere. she has publicity. Most democrats who are in congress don't do outspoken stuff like she does. Pelosi and others better start respecting her and supporting her, because Madam Cortex can be a weapon for the Democrat party. Don't throw away your resources, Pelosi.

What’s up with all the right wing trolls? I’ve never thought of watching a right wing YouTube channel just to troll. Who are these losers?

[Gothead]

So accurate.
AOC hits the nail on its head!

[billthemexicanrepublican]

So much love for AOC makes all haters here look like fools, Don't you understand she is helping you too?

[danteardenz]

Representative Ortiz is attracting people to the Progressive Agenda, like no other ! The young are electrified by her empathy .She talks the real deal !

[tweezerjam]

Watch out Republicans. AOC is out for blood. I love this woman.

FIERCE

[neveklund]

They try smear her as dumb or silly, but she is probably the Smartest person in politics. Her ideas are actually popular as well as correct. That is why сonservatives hate her so.

Here is the complete transcript. Read it and weep, losers!

Madam Speaker, today I rise to tell the story of
one of my constituents, Yahey Obeid.
Mr. Obeid was born in Yemen and came to the United States when he was
8 years old. His childhood dream was to become a pilot, and he knew and
felt that in the United States, all things are possible and his dream
could come true.
Mr. Obeid's dream did come true. He has been a Federal employee for
14 years, has two children, and a mortgage for his home in the Morris
Park neighborhood of the Bronx. He studied hard, got his pilot's
license, and is now an air traffic controller supervisor at John F.
Kennedy International Airport in New York City.
I spoke with Mr. Obeid today over the phone. He and air traffic
controllers like him across the country missed their first paycheck
this past week. He was telling me about how stressful his job is. Every
single day, air traffic controllers have thousands of people's lives in
their hands. With weather changes, flight delays, staffing
complexities, and a myriad of other issues, their days almost never go
exactly to plan. His job is to find solutions, analyze and adapt in
real time to keep people safe in one of the busiest airspaces in the
United States and the world.
It is terrifying to think that almost every single air traffic
controller in the United States is currently distracted at work because
they don't know when their next paycheck is coming.
Federal workers' jobs are stressful enough. The rise in New York
City's cost of living is stressful enough. The fact that Mr. Obeid's
family cannot be reunified due to fears over the Muslim ban is
stressful enough. His Bronx mortgage is
stressful enough. The anti-immigrant sentiment of this administration
is stressful enough.
The truth of this shutdown is that it is actually not about a wall,
it is not about the border, and it is certainly not about the well-
being of everyday Americans.
The truth is this shutdown is about the erosion of American democracy
and the subversion of our most basic governmental norms.
It is not normal to hold 800, 000 workers' paychecks hostage. It is
not normal to shut down the government when we don't get what we want.
It is not normal for public servants to run away and hide from the
public that they serve. And it is certainly not normal to starve the
people we serve for a proposal that is wildly unpopular among the
American people.
Each and every Member of this body has a responsibility to this
Nation and to everyone in the United States of America, whether they
voted for us or not. This President shares in that responsibility as
well, which means he has a responsibility to my constituent, Mr. Obeid.
President Trump has a responsibility to all air traffic controllers,
FDA inspectors, TSA workers, and he has a responsibility to maintain
the basic functioning of the United States Government.

Love AOC. Intelligent, passionate, speaks coherently and persuasively...and she really knows how to shine a spotlight on reality. Great episode!

[grytlappar]

Mark my words, she will be president one day, And by "one day, " I mean the first election she meets the age requirement.

[mcnally]

That woman is awesome! Gett'em aoc!

[spikespiegel]

There's a flock of whiners and fragile masculinity people in the comment section.

[patdaley]

Replace Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader in the Senate. The Repuglicans could do that, and then vote for the budget.

[YIFYPIRATE]

You know when she's hitting a nerve..when u get pubescent republicans commenting in the comments section..

[bozotheclown]

i know a FAA traffic controller and he "cracked up". a clinical psychological lifetime mental breakdown. his entire life he was a strong kid, sports, above average in college, 10 years a FAA flight controller... the stress got to him. what used to be a very calm cool person, like an astronaut, became nervous at many life's situations/experiences. he took me on a tour of his control tower, hard to believe people can handle this work. to show you how bad "conservatism" is. 1. there were no women in this industry until recently. 2. reagan/neocons hating americans so much and loving corporations' revenue broke the union to make a point. FAA traffic controllers deserve high pay and high benefits. none of the conservatism we are living with today would have been possible without a corrupt colluding corporate media not informing americans and raising warning flags!
