Ocasio-Cortez shares panicked reaction to DC tornado warning on Instagram
2019-05-25
[NYPOST] Freshman Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem represntative from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus. She is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details..
livestreamed on Instagram her panicked reaction to a tornado warning in Washington, DC, on Thursday afternoon.
Occasional Cortex
The Bronx Democrat shared video of a downpour shot from her House office in Capitol Hill.

"Guys, they just issued a tornado watch in D.C.," she says in the video.

She then pans over and shows the rain and a few people who were caught in the deluge.

"Oh no, there’s people stuck outside. We need to get them out," she says in the livestream.

The video then shows alarms going off in the House building.

She also used the powerful storm to bring attention to climate change, the cause she’s focused on the most during her freshman year in congress.

"The climate crisis is real y’all ... guess we’re at casual tornadoes in growing regions of the country," she wrote in her Instagram story.
Had it been a power blackout or a mugging she would have handled it with equanimity. But they don’t have tornadoes or earthquakes in New Yawk, so the poor dear got overexcited. It won’t be long before she is as sophisticated about such things as those with more worldly experience than this sheltered young miss.

#7  If she ever encountered a dust devil, she would probably pee in her panties (if New Yorkers wear panties).

#6  Out here we just shoot at the tornado until it goes away.

And if it gets too close, we throw liquor bottles at it.

Did you know that if you take a empty 12 pack of cans, run some fishing string through them, and hang it from the mail box....when its blowing sideways, there is a tornado in the area? Y'all from the cities don't laugh, because sometimes they hide behind trees.

It didn't use to be this way. Used to be a tornado would land, walk a bit, and take off. Since climate change, tornadoes have become very aggressive, and like graboids, tend to charge portable structures like mobile homes. What we do is get together with our neighbors and we each place a mobile home in the same area to steer a tornado away from the crops. Obviously in a food desert like Jefferson City, there is not enough room to do this trick, mostly because of gentrification and colonialism; there is absolutely zero evidence of any tornadoes during the Cahokian culture until Christianity was introduced.

Now if for some reason you find yourself trying to get through Kansas as fast as you can, but run into a storm or take the 'wrong exit' and end up i a saloon, y'all want to try to blend in cause we can smell soap from across the street. Don't order a tornado shot; sambuca is something we only say round here when we bang against the trailer hitch. Order a turkey 101 with a hot sauce backer, curz lite chaser. Say it like that or you are a dead givaway for a loafer wearin' yawrker.

#5  First of all, there "ARE" people outside, NOT, "there IS" people outside.

Secondly, anyone who has lived in the Midwest for any length of time knows how to act in a tornado. Perhaps AOC would like to live in, say, Kansas City for a while?

#4  "Oh no, there’s people stuck outside. We need to get them out,"

So they're outside. What would be "out" from there? Out of the atmosphere? Out of the solar system?
