Sandy Ocasio-Cortez Gets Busted--Sort Of

Here is America's favorite commie know it all acting like the clueless nitwit she is...High School video of "Sandy," Ocasio-Cortez.

A tweet by, Anonymous Q @Q Anonymous 1776, which accompanied a heavily edited version of a Boston University video meant for incoming freshman shot in 2010.




It is a new year, but our pals on the lunatic right are still up to their insane lies, deliberate misinformation, and faux outrage. At the moment their target is the freshly minted representative from New York's 14th district, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

She gained national attention during the 2018 primary when she beat out long time democratic congressman, Joe Conway with a full on 21st century liberal blitz. It was one which emulated the passion, goals, and utopian visions on display during Senator Bernie Sanders' run for the presidency two plus years ago.

The video itself is billed by Boston University as a, "Brat Pack Mashup," featuring a, "cast," of 15 different students, one of whom is Ocasio-Cortez. It is set to the song, "Lisztomania," by the European band, Phoenix. The new congresswoman is also listed as one of four producers. Most of the dance moves and camera shots are straight out of John Hughes' 1985 film, "The Breakfast Club." You know, that series of quick takes in the library when the five students serving detention are left alone, then fire up a stereo and begin dancing.

Apparently all those kids having fun is subversive shit, or, at least, as, Q Anonymous 1776 would have us believe, cluelessly, um,  nit witic. Well, what do you expect from the same people who claim there is world wide conspiracy of child sex trafficking run by democrats and Hollywood elitists such as, Tom Hanks.

The ultra right media machine immediately latched onto the video, although they don't seem nearly as concerned with Ocasio-Cortez's dancing chops as they do with the fact she went by the nickname, Sandy when she was in college and high school. Indeed, their reaction, so far, has been akin to Joe Conrad's line, "The horror, the horror."

A current YouTube channel screams Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is, "busted," because of it. Other right wing social media loons are running around waving their arms over their heads like McCaulay Culkin did in the film, Home Alone. That's right, to them it is shades of, Barry Obama and Kenya all over again. The channel's mechanical voice quickly informs us she once went by a, "completely different name," Sandy Ocasio-Cortez. Ah, quite the clever ruse.

Listen, while not being a student of the different moniker conspiracy field, I do have some experience in shifting names. For instance, my legal name isn't Sid Howard. My parents, who decided to call all their children by our middle names, couldn't settle on one for me immediately after I was born. By the time they finally did the birth certificate had already been filed by the doctor, sans Sidney. In addition I had a friend in high school who decided, for reasons all her own, to change the spelling of her first name from Cathy to Cathi. Neither of us thought these things would conceal our real identities, or doubted people would know who we are. I know my mother and father didn't.

In addition to the whole nickname plot, the conservative media is now howling, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez didn't attend school in the Bronx, or live there between the ages of five and 21, but rather suburban Westchester County, NY. This breaking news is hardly a scoop worthy of Woodward and Bernstein. It is posted on her Wikipedia page which can be accessed by anyone.    

Finally, the YouTube channel, in another attempt to prove the new representative is a fabulously well to do hypocrite, claimed she attended Brown University, "An Ivy League School with perhaps the most expensive tuition in the country." No, she didn't. Look, if she went to Brown, why the fuck did she produce and appear in a Boston University sponsored video?

Aha! See there, it's just another part of the ongoing left wing conspiracy!

Or, maybe it's because she went to and graduated from Boston U. with a degree in International Relations while she had a John F. Lopez fellowship helping pay her way.

But, who cares about such details when you're a right wing slug spewing lies and half truths in order to disseminate your bullshit to a bunch of vile, like minded, idiots.

Hey, it might not pay much, but someone has to, right?

Obviously so.
