The Congressional Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - A.O.C. (how she likes to be called) - from New York's Congressional District 14 - Has to Have a 'Thick Hide of a Skin" to Shrug Off - Vast Harsh Criticisms She Regularly Receives!
For this - coming soon - Thanksgiving 2024 - week (Best Thanksgiving 2024 Wishes to All - B.T.W.) - we shall continue commenting upon a prominent Congressional Squad member - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In a nutshell - she came to some "political prominence" when she barely won the primaries of 2018 in which she - "squeezed by a cat's whiskers" - that is - to defeat the established "traditional" Democrat - Joe Crowley who vied for the 10th term in the U.S. Congress.
Subsequent to the Ocasio-Cortez's - "miraculous" - primaries victory - she easily defeated the Republican candidate Anthony Pappas - in the subsequent - general elections - to "claw" her place in the upcoming 118th U.S.Congress. It needs to be noted that in 2018 the Republican candidate in New York's 14th Congressional district's chances were equivalent to that of a "snowball's thriving in hell".
However - things change in politics. In the recent 2024 presidential elections - many New York state's Republican candidates - were - either outright winning or almost winning - as a result of Biden/Harris Democratic Administration - receiving strong repudiation and rejection - from the general U.S. electorate. In another words - The Wokes/Socialists/Marxists - on the order of the Ocasio-Cortez's Democratic politicians - received a big "slap of rejection" by the American voters in 2024 presidential and congressional elections.
In the meantime - A.O.C. has had to develop an extra thick - skin/hide - due to the harsh criticisms and ridicule - she regularly receives on-line - about many things that she does - as a highly visible politician; all her moves are exposed and ridiculed. As the "seasoned" politicians say - "it all comes with the territory".
