Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just gave the country another reason to shake its head and laugh — this time with a slip of the tongue that, honestly, couldn’t have been more on brand. While speaking at a town hall in Colorado on Friday, the self-proclaimed socialist firebrand was railing against her own party’s leadership when she accidentally blurted out, “We need a Democratic Party that farts… fight harder for us.”
Yes, really. She said it. On stage. In front of people. With a microphone. The woman who claims to be the intellectual future of the Democratic Party let loose a Freudian whoopee cushion of a moment. Naturally, the internet did what it does best — turned it into instant comedy gold. The memes are already writing themselves: “Silent but Not Violent – The AOC Manifesto.”
Now to be fair, everyone makes mistakes when speaking in public. But when you spend your career preaching like you’re on a never-ending college campus open mic night, you kinda set yourself up for this. And this wasn’t just some local fundraiser. She was at a Bernie Sanders-backed stop on the ironically named “Fight Oligarchy” tour — a national traveling circus where far-left lawmakers get together to rage against capitalism while enjoying all the perks of taxpayer-funded government positions. The hypocrisy writes itself.
AOC’s gassy gaffe came during a rant aimed at Democratic leadership, specifically Chuck Schumer, for passing a budget bill to keep the government running until the end of September. Apparently, keeping the lights on is now “a deep sense of outrage and betrayal” in Squad-speak. She even managed to drag Elon Musk into the mix, accusing Senate Democrats of “acquiescing” to him, though it’s unclear what that even means at this point. Maybe they bought a Tesla? Who knows.
And of course, because nothing says “we trust the science” like clinging to two-year-old CDC talking points, Bernie’s team sent out an email asking attendees to wear masks and stay home if they had COVID symptoms. You know, just like we all still do… in 2025.
No signs, no firearms, no common sense. That was the theme of the event. But at least we got a viral moment out of it. In a single sentence, AOC accidentally captured the current state of the Democratic Party: full of hot air and always trying to cover up the stink.
