Spoiled AOC Posts Bitter Tweet About How Pretty Hope Hicks Is
Imagine going to work every day knowing that cows are farting just across the Potomac.
Ruminate on the nightmare of selecting the right emoticons for your tweets while hearing over your head the sound of the very planes that will bring humanity to an end within 12 years.
Chew on the terror of waking up every day knowing some people don’t watch your prattle-while-cooking show on Instagram.
Weigh the unbearable reality of looking for a political partner and deciding your best option is crazy Bernie Sanders.
It is really, really hard being Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Then after all of that, imagine waking up Sunday morning to a political piece by Maggie Haberman of the New York Times about former Trump aide Hope Hicks.
You see it now, don’t you? You can see how such a situation would drive a mere mortal past her breaking point.
So AOC did what AOC had to do.
She complained about how pretty Hicks looked in the picture.
How dare they!
Wait, I got that wrong.
Let me say it like her: How ? Dare ? They ?
Ocasio-Cortez took to her Twitter account Sunday and spewed her petty bile. How dare The Times put a picture of Hope Hicks that makes her look dramatic, or serious, or attractive. This really must stop.
I’ve heard that if The Times doesn’t stop putting pictures of pretty white girls in their paper, the world will end in 43 billion years. I could be wrong.
Ocasio-Cortez bitterly (and with obvious jealousy) complained that Hicks was “getting framed by the NYT as some Lifetime drama called ‘Hope’s Choice.'”
What gets me is news breaks that this woman is weighing committing a crime before Congress &it’s getting framed by the NYT as some Lifetime drama called “Hope’s Choice.”
This is a fmr admin official considering participating in a coverup led by the President.
Treat her equally. https://t.co/XcNbSuU4QB

Alas, AOC went on to lament that Hicks’ photo looked like a “glamour shot.”
Yup. Where’s the “no angel” take now?
In the immediate aftermath of shootings, media routinely post menacing photos of people-of-color victims + dredge up any questionable thing they’d ever done.
But when Hope Hicks considers not complying w a subpoena, it’s glamour shot time. https://t.co/ACnvXlKF7Q

Look at the picture of Hicks and then you can see why AOC would hate it so much. No? Look again. Still no?
I know I often find myself in a white, hot rage at the sight of attractive women in news articles.
Maybe it’s just me.
If we give Ocasio-Cortez the benefit of the doubt that she is actually upset at the substance of the article and not that yet another person is prettier than she, then her anger is, although not as petty, even more misplaced.
The Times piece purports to analyze an internal struggle that Hicks is facing. Per The Times, Hicks’ “existential question” is “whether to comply with a congressional subpoena in the coming weeks.”
But if AOC actually read the article, she would have seen that this is a made-up crisis.
Neither Hicks nor her lawyer gave any comment for the piece and no other sources opined on Hicks’ feelings about the subpoena.
That means there is zero indication that Hicks is actually dealing with any kind of internal dilemma — despite the fact that The Times spent 22 paragraphs discussing it.
There is no indication of any kind that — as AOC tweeted — a former administration official is “considering participating in a coverup led by the president.”
That is literally a crisis manufactured by The Times.
That is real bias.
That is true absurdity.
That is what should make AOC mad.
It should make you mad.
Even madder than a picture-pretty woman at the top of a steaming pile of fake news.
