Rep. Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has once again proven that she is about as dumb as a box of rocks.
After the Supreme Court shut down affirmative action in college admissions, AOC fired off a dissent.
Unfortunately, her take was completely idiotic, and now she is getting hammered online for it.
Dumb, Dumb
AOC decided to attack the legacy program of the university because according to her, “70% of Harvard’s legacy applicants are white” and that the Supreme Court “didn’t touch that – which would have impacted them and their patrons.”
If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.
70% of Harvard’s legacy applicants are white. SCOTUS didn’t touch that – which would have impacted them and their patrons.

Twitter erupted with responses slamming AOC for tilting this decision in a direction where it was never supposed to go.
One person responded, “Absolute gibberish. There is no case before SCOTUS that is related to legacy admissions.
“Also, the Constitution specifically disallows racial discrimination, not [privileges] for relatives of alumni. That’s what makes this a legal issue, instead of just a policy preference.”
Another wrote, “But the point of legacy admissions isn’t to admit students based on race.
“It’s just an outcome you don’t like. As opposed to affirmative action, which uses race as a criteria for selection.”
And my favorite response, which absolutely hit the nail on the head…
According to @AOC, Harvard is racist because 70% of legacy applicants are white.
Just ignore the fact that 71% of America is white… https://t.co/P56SHhjt0u pic.twitter.com/1PrYGU2Z80

This is a big problem with some of our elected officials…
They rant and rave, spewing rhetoric that is either unrelated or just blatantly false, but it is accepted as fact by their followers.
This is why the left and right are at each other’s throats right now.
The people that are supposed to be representing us are causing this rift purposely, especially Democrats, because they need this to stay in power.
