RUSH: I want to share with you a little tweet here. It is from the pollster analyst guru Nate Silver. And Nate Silver tweeted something here about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And I just find it a little ironic. It isn\u2019t any big deal here. I just want to do this, make sure I don\u2019t forget to get it in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the tweet<\/a>: “There are lots of reasons that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drives certain Republicans crazy.” Do you know anybody that she is driving crazy? Dawn, are you driven crazy by Cortez? I don\u2019t know anybody. We find great entertainment value in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But being driven crazy? Sigh.<\/p>\n

Well, anyway. Lots of reasons Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drives certain Republicans crazy. \u201cForemost among the reasons, her race and gender.\u201d See? Republicans are being driven crazy because she is a female Latino. So what does this make us? Just a bunch of racist bigots and that\u2019s why we don\u2019t like her or are being driven crazy?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But the next is really the key. “But it\u2019s also that she is quintessentially a New Yorker. And Washington political culture is formal and prudish when New York City mostly isn\u2019t those things.” Now, I find it very strange we got this brilliant guy, Nate Silver, who recognizes the differences in the New York versus Washington dynamic for Ocasio-Cortez, but not for Donald Trump. These people can\u2019t find a way to explain how Trump doesn\u2019t fit into Washington, but they can find a way to justify the craziness of Ocasio-Cortez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
