Speaking with liberal comedian Jon Stewart in the episode of his “The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart,” released on Thursday, January 24, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y lamented how President Donald Trump has seen a great “normalizing” of himself and his movement by Democrats and Big Tech.
That came when Steward marveled on how most of the Democrats had managed to preserve their “decorum” during the presidential inauguration on Monday, January 20, saying that it was a “surreal scene” after all the past events that were quite the opposite. He said, “In some ways, [Trump] clowns them. It doesn’t look like holding to protocol, it looks like submission.”Sewart then noted that their submission to Trump made all their rhetoric about him sound “performative.” He added, “When you’re creating apocalyptic messaging about a fascist —” At that point AOC cut in, agreeing with the point about their rhetoric sounding so performative and saying, “Literally!” She, for reference, did not attend the inauguration.
Continuing, she said, “Literally, who is coming over and doing these things, and then when he wins, sitting down with watercress sandwiches and cream cheese, and doing the whole nine yards, it makes you wonder, did you believe any of the s— you were saying before? Or was that something that was just a part of your messaging?”
The woke congresswoman then started freaking out and declared that President Trump is “so much more dangerous” this time around because “he is much more normalized,” quite in contrast to his first term when he was treated like evil incarnate and the whole political system seemed entirely weaponized and mobilized against him.
Commenting on that massive shift in how President Trump is viewed this time around by not only the political establishment but also the business establishment in America, AOC said, “What makes this go around with Trump so much more dangerous than the first time is that he is much more normalized this time around.”
Further commenting on that normalization of Trump’s presidency and political movement, the “Squad” congresswoman went on to say, “The first time, people were really on edge, they were on guard, they were very vigilant about any break that he would have with these norms. This time, the norms are becoming him. The norms are embracing him.”
She added, “All of these people that were scared before of being associated with him. From the most common, basic level, to the most elite level, they’re all, all in now.” She then said, “Because this is now a billionaire feeding frenzy. It is a kiss a– race. It is, how can I show how much fealty I have to Donald Trump in order to get my digs?”
She further claimed, continuing to freak out, “What’s really important for people to understand now and every day of this administration, is that you’re being ripped off. You’re being ripped off, dude! Like, everyone is being ripped off. And he goes up there, and he says what he wants to say, but he’s just the quintessential New York con man.”
