AOC Just Perfectly Ripped A Republican Strategist Who Said He Fears Public Internet Even More Than Universal Healthcare

AOC Just Perfectly Ripped A Republican Strategist Who Said He Fears Public Internet Even More Than Universal Healthcare

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is known for her social media prowess.

She's doled out almost as many clapbacks as policy proposals.

Thursday was no different when Ocasio-Cortez responded to Republican strategist Patrick Ruffini, who announced that he'd be more distressed by public internet than public healthcare.


It all started when Democratic senator and 2020 presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren proposed forming a federal office of Broadband Access, allowing for every American to have internet.

Ruffini didn't like that too much.

That's when Ocasio-Cortez pointed out the flaws in his logic by asking him about an infamously mundane task.

As many know, Comcast customer service is roundly criticized.

The business has a one star rating on Yelp and a quick twitter search will reveal multiple dissatisfied customers ready to throw their phones at a wall rather than wait on hold for another second.

Ruffini tried to clap back by mentioning a publicly run facility whose customer service also leaves a lot to be desired.

But does the DMV really have people that mad?

The answer appears to be no.






In fact, people thought DMV jokes were a little tired.



Looks like AOC has won the internet again. Republicans, why do you keep poking the bear?

The film Sicko about for profit healthcare in the United States is available here.

Like any good performer, Jon Stewart seems to take seriously the maxim that an artist must suffer for his art—though he might have taken it just a touch too literally.

Audience members at The Daily Show were left shocked recently when Stewart smashed his prop coffee cup on his desk as part of a bit, only to end up gashing the heck out of his hand.

JD Vance Mocked After Absurdly Praising Trump For The Words He 'Chooses'

Vice President J.D. Vance was widely mocked after absurdly praising President Donald Trump as someone who "chooses his words carefully."

It sure was odd for Vance to say this about the same man who once referred to supply chains as "supply change," had to have an entire interview with Dr. Phil awkwardly cut to hide his repeated gaffes, weirdly named his billionaire ally Elon Musk "Leon" at a rally, and as recently as this month referred the social media platform TikTok as "Tic Tac" twice in quick succession, confusing it with the popular breath mint brand.

Woody Harrelson Slammed For Criticizing Dr. Fauci And Early HIV Drug On Joe Rogan's Podcast

Actor Woody Harrelson disappointed fans after he slammed Dr. Anthony Fauci, calling him “extraordinarily evil” for signing off on distributing azidothymidine (AZT), an antiretroviral medication used as an early treatment for HIV/AIDS.

Fauci served as the chief medical advisor to former Democratic President Joe Biden from 2021 to 2022 and was also a lead member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force under Republican President Donald Trump's first term during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rachel Maddow Goes Off On MSNBC For 'Indefensible' Cancelation Of Non-White Hosts' Shows

In an emotional and powerful rant, MSNBC personality Rachel Maddow criticized her own network after the network canceled shows hosted by colleagues Joy Reid, Alex Wagner, and Katie Phang—all non-white.

The network reports that for every job impacted, a new position is being posted, initially for internal applicants. As it prepares for its split from Comcast later this year, MSNBC is planning to launch its own Washington bureau and hire staff for a new news division. The move marks the first significant change under the leadership of new MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler.

GOP Rep. Says He'd 'F**king Kill' Tucker Carlson If They Ever Met In Awkward Hot Mic Moment

Unless he has a death wish, let's hope far-right political commentator Tucker Carlson won't be running into Republican Texas Representative Dan Crenshaw anytime soon.

Why? Well, it might not end well for the former Fox News conspiracy theorist.
