OMG, how did he keep a straight face?! AOC’s HUGE snafu about FDR and the 22nd Amendment is the stuff of LEGEND (watch)

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Town Hall on the Green New Deal on MSNBC was a total success. And by ‘success’ we mean a complete sh*t-show of epic stupid that we can probably write about for days and days (maybe weeks). From blaming an intern for the Green New Deal FAQ debacle to talking about the ‘grain’ we feed our cows, it was a real humdinger.
But perhaps the best SNAFU of the night came when our favorite Socialist Democrat was talking about FDR and the 22nd Amendment.


According to AOC, Congress amended the Constitution to prevent FDR from being re-elected:

"They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt dd not get reelected."

(Reminder, FDR died in office in 1945; the 22nd Amendment came in 1947)

Wow.
AOC needs a history refresher … serio.

And Chris Hayes sat there with his thumb up his butt the whole time. He should have corrected her probably a dozen times but NOPE.
If the Democrats are pinning their hopes on the likes of AOC and Ilhan Omar then Trump's a shoo in for a 2nd term (PS the 22nd amendment came two years after FDR's death while in office in 1945)

Word.
Dear @AOC, you’re a dope, 22nd amendment was passed after FDR died. Did you miss history class in the ?

I don't want to excuse @AOC's error regarding the 22nd amendment. But I do wish all elected officials could be held to the same standard she is regarding getting their facts straight.

Not an unfair request.
Look @AOC, @CNN, and . We don't "attack" her because she's a woman.
We criticize the fact she doesn't know what she's talking about.

The latest one about the 22nd amendment is proof.

It’s not that she’s stupid, it’s just that so much of what she knows is WRONG.
