Her parents told her she has to move out now that she is in the public eye.

Now NY is electing waitresses to represent them in the house lol. Man I am glad I do not live in her district. NY is worse off than California and that is saying something.

[blondedenton]

What is our struggle? What is our past? How can we make it better? Words are coming out of her mouth but they mean nothing.

[johnappice]

This was a huge victory for Republicans everywhere

She speaks well in public.... she's beautiful.... She's just NOT SAYING ANYTHING! Its like reading Hallmark cards for politicians.

[MM-uznv]

All the slogans and promises all over again from champagne socialist but when asked where the money is coming from the same old answer is given, tax the rich through income taxes - because that's been working fine so far. In the end it's the low and middle income who carry the financial and lost opportunity burden.

We should encourage her to run for President. The jokes will write themselves.

[Jonathan-ucdo]

She will provide so much material for talk radio hosts!

I was under the impression that New York had intelligent people. This has really blown that theory out of the water. DUMB DUMB DUMB.

[johnkennedy]

If this is the fight for our lives, then we already lost, laughing at the fact that this woman was actually elected to congress.
