Ocasio-Cortez quotes Rorschach from 'Watchmen' in response to Dem criticism

Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) took aim at her critics among fellow Democrats on Friday after a number of lawmakers voiced concerns about her governing style.

Linking to an article featuring the Democrats' worries, the New York Democrat shrugged off the criticism with a line from Alan Moore's "Watchmen" graphic novel.

Well, if you have to quote someone from a movie, he's not a bad choice.

 

[“Paisios”]

Although I find myself in disagreement with AOC on a frequent basis, I too quote movies all the time...after all, “all of life’s riddles are answered in the movies” (Grand Canyon, 1991, Lawrence Kasdan).

Classic !!!!!

Quoting from Watchmen is kind of the Comicon version of quoting Euripides.

But to be sure that quote is understood....

...that's what you say just before you put a hurt on everyone in the room.

Who are these alternatively intelligenced Democrats (not necessarily joe six-packs but those in the leadership) who are criticizing AOC? She - along with Pressly, Tlaib, (Ihlan) Omar - are one of the best thing to happen to D.C in decades.

We could use a hundred people like AOC in D.C.
