New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is encountering rough waters as she decides if she wants to run for President in 2028.
Ocasio-Cortez’s free ride is over.
And now Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced one onslaught of attacks that she never saw coming.
Popular podcaster Joe Rogan blasted Ocasio-Cortez for her absurd claim that all billionaires were immoral because it was impossible to earn money honestly.
“This idea that it’s easy to become a billionaire and that these billionaires somehow or another are the problem because they’re not paying their fair share is so weird,” Rogan stated. “That’s a narrative that actually gets pushed through when you look at the actual numbers of the tax base and how much they contribute and how many jobs they provide.”
Rogan argued that becoming a billionaire was part of the American dream that was available to everyone if they created enough value.
“Yeah, they make more money than everybody else. Right. You could do that too. This is one of the things that America is really good at — you can come from nothing and become incredibly wealthy,” Rogan added.
Rogan went on to say that the idea that billionaires become rich because they lie, cheat, and steal was a fiction that leftists like Ocasio-Cortez push to build the levels of class resentment necessary to impose socialism on America.
“We just assume that everybody who makes an incredible amount of money stole it. That they robbed someone,” Rogan continued.
“This is a narrative that gets pushed along [by] democratic socialists, that no one achieves that — I think I literally heard AOC say this recently — that no one achieves substantial wealth without somehow or another victimizing other people,” Rogan concluded.
Rogan was referring to comments Ocasio-Cortez made on a podcast, in which she absurdly claimed it was impossible to legitimately earn a billion dollars.
“You can’t earn a billion dollars,” Ocasio-Cortez ranted. “You can get market power. You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws. You can pay people less than what they’re worth.”
“But you can’t earn that, right? And so you have to create a myth… You have to create a myth of earning it,” Ocasio-Cortez raged.
When asked whether she is planning to run for President to challenge Chuck Schumer in a 2028 Senate primary, Ocasio-Cortez told former Obama chief strategist David Axelrod that her goal is bigger than holding any one office; it is the fundamental transformation of America.
And these comments show that in the America Ocasio-Cortez envisions, success faces punishment and wealth faces confiscation by the government.
But even former Bernie Sanders supporters like Joe Rogan are horrified at the future for America that Ocasio-Cortez envisions.
