The party’s new rising star, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a self-proclaimed socialist from New York who wants to spend $7 trillion on a new green program, was described by one report as having a “sour look” when the president was condemning the “politics of revenge, resistance.”
The New York Post reported she “shot back” at critics who said she didn’t show much enthusiasm.
Her claim: “Why should I be ‘spirited and warm’ for this embarrassment of a #SOTU. Tonight was an unsettling night for our country. The president failed to offer any plan, any vision at all, for our future. We’re flying without a pilot. And I’m not here to comfort anyone about that fact.”
But the public was not following her lead.
The Gateway Pundit reported polls by both CBS and CNN showed 76 percent of viewers approved of the president’s speech.
CBS found 72 percent approving of his immigration ideas.
