Ms Ocasio-Cortez-Cortez is a college graduate so we know she is educated. Whether you consider educated as smart or not, we do not have any other public information about her IQ, EQ, or grade point average. She is articulate, which doesn’t guarantee she is smart. She is politically savvy, which again is no guarantee. Ocasio-Cortez's explanation of the COVID vaccine is a thing of beauty. The New York Congresswoman hopped on IG Sunday to both document the Pfizer vaccine being administered to her by a.

Concha slams AOC for suggesting government 'rein in' media: 'Belongs in China'

Fox News contributor Joe Concha weighs in on media coverage of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's controversial comments about a new government commission.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Monday appeared unimpressed by a tweet from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

To show their appreciation for the civil rights icon on the federal holiday, ICE tweeted an image of a King statue, with the text: 'Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s message of hope, justice and equality.'

Without addressing King directly, Ocasio-Cortez retweeted the text and called for the agency to be abolished.

Ocasio-Cortez has called for dismantling the agency for years, even in moments when her Democratic colleagues appeared to back away from the idea.

Though Ocasio-Cortez’s Twitter feed on Monday was filled with references to King and his legacy, King's niece, Alveda King, told Fox News that the congresswoman ought to 'take a page out of Martin Luther King Jr.’s book.'

The suggestion came in response to Ocasio-Cortez’s comments during a virtual town hall last week in which she referred to President Donald Trump as the 'poison of White supremacy.'

'I believe that AOC really should take a page out of Martin Luther King Jr.'s book.' King told Fox News host Harris Faulkner.

Alveda told Faulkner that while her uncle praised the law for keeping bad actors in line, 'he also said that the law cannot transform the human heart.'

'There are laws on the books now that will severely punish White supremacists, and that should be the case,' she explained. 'We know that White supremacy is wrong, it must be punished, but every crime against humanity is bad and so we have to protect human dignity, but not only with the law. We have to transform these hearts.'

Omar shades fellow 'Squad' member AOC for getting COVID-19 vaccine before frontline workers

Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar slams lawmakers including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for getting coronavirus vaccines ahead of the elderly and frontline workers.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., took to social media this week to defend her decision to receive the coronavirus vaccine over the weekend, after some of her fellow lawmakers criticized members for accepting doses ahead of frontline workers and vulnerable populations.

In direct response to a tweet penned by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Ocasio-Cortez laid blame on Republicans for instilling distrust about the vaccine into the American public, suggesting that she felt it would be hypocritical for leaders to urge the public to take a vaccine they weren’t taking themselves.

Paul said in his message that he thought it was 'inappropriate' for someone like him, or Ocasio-Cortez, who either had immunity or were healthy and young, to accept a dose ahead of the elderly and health care workers.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., also took to Twitter to express her frustration with the process, deeming it 'shameful' for lawmakers to be prioritized for the vaccine.

'We are not more important [than] frontline workers, teachers, etc. who are making sacrifices [every day],' Omar wrote. 'Which is why I won’t take it. People who need it most, should get it.'

But many lawmakers have opted to sign up for a vaccination, some – like Ocasio-Cortez – with the purpose of showing the American public that the vaccine is safe and effective.

Ocasio-Cortez, for example, made herself available to social media users after her injection in order to answer pressing questions.

Joe Biden, who took the vaccine, raised concerns during an October debate with Trump about being inoculated. 'In terms of the whole notion of a vaccine, we’re for a vaccine, but I don’t trust [Trump] at all. ... What we trust is a scientist.'

Sen. Kamala Harris also raised concerns about trusting Trump when it comes to the vaccine, which led to Vice President Mike Pence to ask her, during their debate, to 'please stop undermining confidence in a vaccine.'

States are largely responsible for developing plans to make the vaccine available to residents over the coming months. Most have agreed to prioritize vulnerable populations, like nursing home residents and essential frontline workers, until doses are more widely available.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading expert on infectious diseases, recommended that leaders like President Trump and President-elect Joe Biden receive the vaccine as soon as possible for security and safety reasons.

Trump, who has not yet received his vaccine, previously said he thought White House staff should receive doses later in the program.

Trump contracted the virus in October, but it is not clear how long immunity lasts.
