 Every once in a while Fox news will run out of things to talk about so what they'll do is they will go fishing for content by looking for reasons to be outraged and One of the areas where they often find what they're looking for is AOC's Instagram feed This time there's a video of her cooking where she's casually discussing politics And they did not like what she had to say But I really like this clip and where they talk about AOC because they ended up making Fools of themselves when they accidentally made a left-wing point in responding to AOC. This was great Congresswoman Acasio Cortez takes to Instagram Yeah, to cook lemon pasta with salmon for followers and then using the platform to respond to critics to call her radical take a look You know shout out to my fellow radicals who think that you know, we should live in a humane advanced society And that we shouldn't be under the thumb of a $7 minimum wage and You know racist systems Because I don't know because that just benefits whoever the people are empowered already be empowered so you know Shout out to my radicals Now this morning she posted a video on Twitter highlighting which parts of her first term radical agenda She was able to achieve take a look I authored and introduced the Green New Deal with Senator Ed Markey and secured 115 House and Senate co-sponsors on it regional versions of the Green New Deal were also adopted by 10 local governments Including the state of New Mexico and cities of Austin, Los Angeles New York City, Boston and more We unveiled the Green New Deal for public housing which would invest up to 180 billion dollars over 10 years We got President Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen to state on the record that President Trump was engaging in tax fraud and to name other potential witnesses on the presidential campaign I co-chair the climate unity task force with Secretary Kerry to help shape a president like Biden's two trillion dollar climate policy Meanwhile yesterday she knocked Biden's agenda saying a quote had it's a little hazy citing a lack of a cohesive vision Across his cabinet here with reaction box news contributors Jason Chafetz and Tammy Brouser with us well, you know, look at at the court decision tonight Tammy and Understanding it's but likely ramifications in a lot of ways One has to wonder is America really ready for what is about to hit them if this now Becomes the law of the land Well, look, I think that first of all calling Alexander Ocasio-Cortez as a Radical is an insult to actual radicals. This nation is the radical idea Our constitution is radical the last radicals we saw were in the mid 1700s our founders Radicalism is coming up with something completely new that sets people free She is not a radical She is someone who is spewing platitudes for a failed idea for a failed system to Well, effectively trick people into thinking she represents something. It is an ignorant point of view You can ask the people of Venezuela about her kind of radicalism There's nothing radical about the failed communist states that have destroyed people's lives She has been misled her cohorts have been misled and Americans want a future they can count on That is what is in front of the Supreme Court right now. Not that young woman cooking some salmon over Instagram Well, she said Venezuela so case closed all you have to do in response to a socialist is say And it's like a magical spell it like shuts them down and capitalism automatically wins It's like the most persuasive argument you can use as a capitalist They have to come up with better material I don't think that they've realized that Venezuela like saying that in response to someone who's making a somewhat socialist argument It's a meme at this point. You have to find new material But I just got a comment before we get to Tammy Bruce Sean Henry like you can actually hear the disgust in his voice when he's talking about what she's making like She's making lemon pasta with salmon Like you can tell he wants to be doing something better like he wants something more intellectually stimulating and Fox News Usually does this like though they'll clip out a portion of AOC saying something and they'll bring on a guest to attack her because They don't have anything else to talk about and you could tell that like he's bored with this Like he's not as outraged as he's leading on Having said that though, I will say that the feelings that he expressed when talking about lemon pasta with salmon I kind of felt that way as well because I'm that doesn't sound great to me But having said that we have to get to what Tammy Bruce said Her point here is stunning Calling AOC a radical is an insult to actual radicals So she makes the point that AOC in actuality isn't a radical. All right, let's hear her out This nation is a radical idea. Our Constitution is radical AOC is not a radical Interesting so you concede to the point then that it's not actually radical To think that the government shouldn't let its citizens die if they don't have health care that we should be Guaranteed in education like you don't think that these things are radical because that's what she believes in so if you're saying She's not a radical you're making our point for us that it's not radical to think that human beings deserve these basic things and She's actually right about this It isn't radical to think that health care should be a right because these are things that aren't controversial Even to conservatives in other countries So if you look at the UK the Tories don't think that guaranteed health care is radical Sure, they want to chip away at it and privatize more and more of it But the basic idea that health care is a right. That's not radical. It's not a controversial Conservatives in Canada. They believe that health care should be a right. It's not radical It's only radical here because the political spectrum is so far to the right that as a far-right winger in the United States Like looking to someone who's saying that health care should be free at the point of service That sounds radical to you because of your perspective, but in actuality It's really not radical like it's not radical to think that the government should provide us with basic things You believe that as well. Otherwise you think that we shouldn't have roads that we drive on We shouldn't have a military right because This is the social contract like we give the government our money our tax dollars and in turn There's this expectation that we get services in exchange for that money in return, right? Our government is supposed to protect us. That's why we have a military We will be secure physically in our homes. We don't have to worry about foreign invaders, right now Our government's military takes it a little bit extreme because we are an empire But in general the basic idea is we give government money in exchange for services Protect us from invaders make sure that we have clean drinking water and breathable air So why why can't we demand health care? The basic expectation what is minimally required of government is to take care of their citizens Make sure that they don't die and in this country Thousands of Americans die every single year because they don't have health care And we're not talking about access to affordable health care. I'm talking about health care period This is only controversial here because we live in a late-stage capitalist society So I really appreciate Tammy Bruce making this point because she's right AOC is not a radical It's not a radical idea to think that we deserve to survive as human beings that we should have food to eat water to drink and health care now I love another point that she made because it's so It's so ironic that I don't even know how to respond to it AOC isn't a radical, but she is someone who's spewing platitudes for a failed idea You're the one who's spewing platitudes. Like what is it that right-wingers believe? I Have no idea. I know that they don't like socialism and I know that they think Venezuela bad But what do you believe? Like what policies would you implement? Would you just leave leave things as is I? Mean the planet is dying we have people, you know facing an eviction crisis So of course you have to believe that some action even if it's just the bare minimum should be taken. So what's your belief? freedom liberty I Mean the right wing in America. They are Nothing but platitudes. They don't believe in anything. They just have a commitment to this vague idea of freedom But for whatever reason that doesn't extend to freedom to like be alive and not die if you don't have health care It's amazing to me last thing that I want to touch on that. She said is Basically she ended up contradicting herself and midpoint She realized it and she ended up just confusing herself So she says you can ask the people of Venezuela about her kind of radicalism So she's thinking fuck. I just said she's not a radical and now I'm saying she is radical But then she says after saying that you can ask the people of Venezuela about her kind of radicalism There's nothing radical about the failed communist states that have destroyed people's lives Stop for a moment and think about that sentence. Let's let's read it again You can ask the people of Venezuela about her kind of radicalism There's nothing radical about the failed communist states that have destroyed people's lives So you're saying that communism isn't radical like if Tammy Bruce Were a Pokemon she would have hurt herself in her confusion. And yes, that is my first millennial dad joke So she she is a radical, but she also isn't a radical and communist regimes that destroy people's lives aren't radical Tammy Let's workshop this a little bit more. I think that you know, she really she was trying to make a point about how AOC, you know, she she's just trotting out the same tired thing that we've heard but in actuality the point that you've made is our point for us So thank you so much because yeah, AOC isn't a radical. It's not radical To ask that the government use our tax dollars and actually help us rather than bombing other countries abroad That's not radical. So I agree with you Tammy. Thank you carry on
