Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has to be the most incredible narcissist in Washington, and in a city of massive egos, that is saying something. She has such a high opinion of herself and a level of self-importance that is off the charts to think that she has a bullseye on her back and is in the sights of Donald Trump. Cortez is of more benefit to the Republicans in office than out because she is one of the least effective Representatives in Congress. Sandy, which was her name when attending Boston University, has no bills to her credit that have been passed and signed into law, and she is no longer a rookie in D.C. She is running for her fourth term to represent the 14th District of New York.

Cortez has done nothing positive for her constituents, but has done them harm. She blocked a major Amazon distribution center that would have brought thousands of high-paying jobs to the Bronx because she did not understand tax credits. She thought the Bronx would have to pay Amazon to build the facility. Her ignorance cost the Bronx dearly. Her squad is losing momentum as the country is moving right towards the center. The Radical Left has lost its cachet. Even Rep Bowman of the Squad was slapped this week when Hillary Clinton endorsed his primary challenger.

Cortez and Vice President Harris have been pushing a storyline that Trump will use every tool of government to go after his opponents. This theory was put to rest after the 2016 election. After months of Republicans yelling, “Lock her up,” Trump chose not to take action against Clinton, and he had dozens of good reasons to do so. He opted to take the high road, and isn’t it ironic that the Party warning voters about Trump’s retribution is the one weaponizing government against Trump and anyone who supports him?

Biden talks about MAGA Republicans in the same manner he speaks about NAZIs. He refers to them in the same breath as he calls out White Supremacists. This rhetoric is Hillary calling us deplorables on steroids, and it is insulting, and he needs to be called out on every occasion.

Trump’s response to anyone who asks about his retaliation against his enemies is that his job will be to unify, not further divide America, and the greatest revenge against his foes will be success. When he talks about success, it is not for him, but for every American, regardless of color. That mission is worthy of our support, and we have five months to recruit newbies to the MAGA ranks.
