Rep. Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) made a rare appearance on Fox News with Bret Baier.
Sadly, AOC was allowed to make some rather ridiculous claims without being forced to back up her claims with actual data.
Voter Suppression
AOC said a lot of crazy and unchecked things during her interview but claiming voter suppression in her party was responsible for Sanders losing Michigan is right up there.
She stated, “Well, I think one thing that isn’t being talked about is the rampant voter suppression in this country.
“Right there in Ann Arbor, where we had that rally, those kids were waiting three hours in line to vote in Michigan.
“And so when we talk about who’s turning out and who’s not turning out, we absolutely need to be clear.”
Baier replied, “You’re saying that you think voters didn’t get to vote that wanted to vote in Michigan?”
AOC responded, “Absolutely. You know, obviously, there’s also more that we need to do in terms of turning out youth voters.
“We need to make sure that we’re inspiring young people to turn out.
“But when you do turn out, you should not be waiting three, four, seven hours in order to vote.”
Now you’ve heard everything. AOC claims turnout for Bernie was low Tuesday because of “voter suppression” by Democrats. pic.twitter.com/6P0WlqZtmS

AOC also did her best to evoke panic among the poor, hinting that if you don’t have money, you won’t be able to get tested.
She stated, “South Korea has up to 10000 tests per day.
“They’ve been able to provide tests to any single person that wants it.
“And here, people are scrambling, and it almost seems like the more wealthy and powerful you are, the more able you are to access a test.”
This issue has been clarified by Dr. Fauci numerous times that the shortage of tests has nothing at all to do with money or with Trump but rather a systematic failure that has been corrected.
The saddest part of this entire exchange that is that Baier did not really challenge her and make AOC produce factual documentation to back up her claims.
So, a Democrat was once again allowed to spread untruths, unchecked, creating yet more panic in this country as well as a false narrative on voter suppression.
This has become more and more prevalent with Fox News. This is one, if not the only one, news outlet that people can get a “fair and balance’ news. People are looking for the truth in reporting. Not slanted reporting. I’m upset with Fox News for giving a Knee to the LEFT.
BBC new’s
Baeir proved he is useless MSM wimp. When AOC cited voter suppression in the Michigan primary, why couldn’t he at least point out it didn’t seem to bother the Biden voters? They were voting in the same election and most of them were black. AOC is an idiot and Brett Baeir is obviously in cahoots with the left wing idiots or he lost his testicles somewhere along the trail.
The thing AOC seems to have missed is that the left was running against the left! Who was suppressing the vote??? There were NO republicans running, so dems were keeping OTHER dems from voting. OK, AOC. If you think so, I guess you have this all figured out.
BAIER SUCKS AS HE IS IN BED WITH THE CUMORATS AND SHOULD BE ON C N N WHERE HE WOULD FIT IN GREATLY! EVERY SINCE HE SCREWED JUDGE JEANNE OUT OF TWO WEEKS ON THE AIR TO GET RECOGNIZED BY THE CUMORAT PARTY TO GET BUSINESS FOR HIM IN THE ELECTION PROCESS WITH THE CUMORATS HE TO ME IS A TRAITOR TO FOX AND SHOULD BE REMOVED!
FOX and others like Baier leaning left want to be….are scum
Giving brain dead AOC, media time to express her stupidity reflects poorly on Fox and Baier. The latter did not have the backbone to challenge her on some of her absurd statements, while permitting her to rant on and on. It was almost comical/pathetic to hear the words emanating from her empty skull.
People seem to be afraid of her for whatever reason and being another woman I haven’t figured the why yet. I can usually psychoanalyze other women. She leans forward and just talks without considering she should stop at some point. Few men will interrupt a talker when they lean forward as if they are totally interested in the person in front of her. Unfortunately she is not interested in the person just herself and her getting her point out and not stopping to do so. I know one thing, she will lie to get where she wants to go and use any party or group of people, in this case, the democratic party to get where she wants. I think she’s about money and attention and feeling like she’s important and millions think she’s important. Just my opinion. Too bad people like Brett don’t know how to handle her instead of just looking at her and being taken in by her looks and perceived nice person. He’s not the only male taken in by this type. If she marries it will be marrying up not down and not even on an equal level.
WELL LOOK WHOSE SHOW SHE WAS ON!!
BAIER IS THE FOX IN THE FOX HEN HOUSE OF NEWS! HE IS THE ONE THAT GOT JUDGE JEANINE TOSSED OFF OF HERE PROGRAM FOR TWO WEEKS IN ORDER TO SHOW THE CUMORATS THAT HE IS IN THERE CORNER TO BE ABLE TO GET THERE DEBATE BUSINESS WHICH HE DID GET! AS FAR AS I AM CONSERNED HE SUCKS AND I TURNED HIM OFF COMPLETELY!
