Either Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is willfully trying to mislead the people through blatantly false statements or she’s a complete idiot. There’s really no room for anything in between, though both options may exist simultaneously.
Even leftist news outlets are walking away from one of her latest claims about how to pay for Medicare-for-All.
Here’s the Tweet that sparked disapproval from both sides of the political aisle:
$21 TRILLION of Pentagon financial transactions “could not be traced, documented, or explained.”
$21T in Pentagon accounting errors. Medicare for All costs ~$32T.
That means 66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon.
And that’s before our premiums. https://t.co/soT6GSmDSG

As many have pointed out, the $21 trillion in accounting discrepancies at the Pentagon does not represent money that was just sitting there getting wasted while Medicare-for-All languished in mathematical oblivion. The figure referenced represents accounting discrepancies in both directions – money in and money out – as well as transfers between departments within the Pentagon.
Ocasio-Cortez must have realized when she Tweeted the article that there’s no way “66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon.” She was certainly playing down to her base in hopes they’d ignore reality and embrace her false notions just because she said it. The Tweet was either a bald-faced lie or she’s an absolute moron. Or both.
Washington Post, which normally supports socialist initiatives recommended by their Democratic puppetmasters, had to call this particular claim out. They gave the claim “4 Pinocchios,” a designation they save for some of the most egregious lies in politics.
We can hope and pray an incoming member of the House of Representatives is simply lying to promote her agenda. If she’s not lying, then she’s an idiot, and that might be worse when we consider how many Democrats adore her right now.
