AOC Blasts Reagan’s ‘Welfare Queen’ Narrative

Lots of people praise Ronald Reagan — but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn’t a lot of people, taking the former president to task for his infamous stereotype of black mothers on welfare.

    Ocasio's gilt is wearing off. When I first heard her speech, I thought she was a good social activist. Now it has become quite transparent that she's a follower of Che Guevara with a venomous political agenda to convert capitalist America to Cuba. Che is a hero of the Puertorriqueños. Ocasio's labor policy to give wages to unemployed labourers will ruin American economy. Marx's policy to bring land, labor and capital under the state will create a totalitarian society. Ocasio gets her ideas from Economic Policy Institute, a think tank of leftists functioning in Washington. Ignorant and senile Democrats hail her as their hero without knowing her secret agenda. But it will be advantageous for Trump in 2020. Americans of all shades are against Communism. They don't want to make the US another Venezuela.

    Actually, the history will be rewritten and it will say that reagan was the WORST president this country has ever had. His ''Reagonomics'' and ''TRICKLE DOWN'' system of governance destroyed the middle class and made the really rich super rich at the expense of the middle class. The middle class sank to lower class while some very rich became billionaires. And reagan did not bring the Berlin wall down or caused the Soviet Union to collapse. It all started during Carter and just like trump that is benefiting from 8 years of Obama, Reagan happened to just be there when it all happened.
