    Stop using people’s work history at menial Jobs as way to attack them. Aoc was a bartender. All you’re doing is being an elitist.

    His past work as a gardener or grocery store worker shouldn’t be the headline here. Looking down at the working class is a dick move no matter who you are.

    I’m sure this guy has plenty of stupid and his leanings aren’t good. But don’t attack him for being working class

      I mean being 22 and having that work history is pretty relevant. How else are they going to make the case that he’s nowhere near qualified enough for the position?

      Exactly. And if he’s 22 now, 5 years ago he was 17. Lots of teenagers have menial jobs in high school to get some cash. There’s nothing wrong with that.

        There’s nothing wrong with having absolutely zero experience with something and then becoming in charge of it for one of the largest countries on earth?

    If anyone is wondering the connection:

    This guy had internships at the Heritage Foundation and did some service as a special assistant in a DHS immigration office.

    Heritage foundation strikes again with installing young puppets.

    it’s inspiring that in the states you can be a convicted felon, and/or just a totally unqualified moron with no experience in any sort of political office (see: POTUS) and get a high profile position in the federal government. america truly is the land of opportunity

      No, he’s a poly-sci graduate: moldable lump of clay setup by the Heritage Foundation to sink or swim. Seems like he hasn’t screwed up badly enough to be coat-hooked offstage just yet.

        The card would likely be older than him

        I can’t get over how a kid who did high school over zoom during COVID is now in charge of terror prevention for the US
