Kennedy made the swipe at the Democratic lawmaker during an interview with Fox News, saying she is “kind of like Vice President Kamala Harris, but with more bartending experience.” He went on to say that she has “never been accused of being a policy maven.”
AOC reacted on social media, saying “my having been a waitress makes me 1000x more qualified to govern on behalf of working people than whatever lifelong politician nonsense you’ve swung from your whole career.”
“Why should working people vote for you if this is what you think of them?,” she added.
AOC lives rent free in these people’s heads.
… And their AI-generated fantasies. Eww…
Um, that costs money
Well now the Pentagon has something to spend that $500 billion on 🫠
I mean, she’s almost tailor-made to make them practically short out.
One, she’s obviously a smoke-show and we might as well acknowledge that fact. Add to that, she is obviously very smart and a great speaker, and not afraid to speak up. Being a woman and a POC compounds their feels. She’s also often aligned with the likes of Bernie on many issues.
Add all this up, and it’s no wonder most Republicans behave like confused middle-school boys and don’t know what to do with their conflicted feelings and end up saying/doing things that more or less boil down to the equivalent of pulling her hair and snapping her bra.
It usually comes out so incoherent and cringe - I seem to remember some winger(s) saying something about how she was a “hypocrite” for dating a white guy?
I’m more than happy not to charge her rent.
…that sounds creepy, but I just mean I’m glad she’s in politics fighting the progressive fight, and I support her. lol
They are making fun of a normies citizen what became a representative of the people. Do they not realize that?
Rich folks should be banned from being in politics, honestly.
Just for numbers sake, “Accommodation and food services” (which would include bartenders) is the third largest US workforce at ~8%.
CongressThe US House of Representatives has 435 members, so at least 35 or so should have a background in bartending or similar work if we really are having a representative government.Sounds like we need more AOCs.
Congress has 535 members, you’re off by 100. It should be 43 members with food service experience.
Whoops, I said Congress, but meant the US House of Representatives (since that is what AOC is).
The Senate has an even 100, so plus another 8 on their side.
I don’t want anyone in any political office who didn’t work at least six continuous months in a food service job.

I love the fact that he’s making fun of her for NOT having an elitist background. What trash.
Whenever I’m arguing with someone about TACO I just point out that what we really needed was another rich, old, white man. That’ll fix our problems.
congressperson used to work a shitty job
Republicans: “Unqualified”
congressperson come from rich family
Republicans: “OMG ITS THE ELITES, dRaIn tHe sWaMp!”
🙄
Imagine not being a wealthy nepobaby
People still mock her for her bartending work?
Yup, pedophiles trying to distract how corrupt and demonic they are.
Every time they mock her for having had a working class job they just prove they think they’re elite.
I bet he feels slammed
TBH I don’t think any republican anywhere is qualified for any sort of leadership role of any kind.
Bartending is not easy, i know it’s not obvious for somebody out there, but it is not an easy task.
The hours are brutal. Working 12+ hour shifts with the bulk of the labor happening at the tail end.
Then you’re dealing with other people’s droll and piss and blood. Managing angry drunks, happy drunks, and piss drunks. Tracking orders, periodically against people who want to cheat or rob you. Scouting for underaged drinkers, dealing with sex pests, and still politely catering to the whims of the bulk of your clientele.
I don’t envy bar work even slightly. Crazy to think it’s “easy”, unless you’re already four drinks in. At which point, you’re one of the people making the job more difficult.
Is She being Discriminated against because she comes from a lower socio economic environment or just because she was a bar tender?
Yes
All she needs is heavy, HEAVY use of the words “prosecute” and “list” and she’s got my full support.
Maybe the most appropriate use of “slams”.
Agreed. That retort was spot on.
- No attacking his personality.
- No attacking his physical characteristics.
- No strawmen.
- No name-calling.
- Just a direct cut at his oxymoronic qualifications and lack of care for the working class.
