The right to ask questions of anyone is powerful and has never been granted lightly since 400 BC.

If you want the power to ask questions, earn it by becoming her peer.  By becoming a respected member of the press.  Viral videos of politically themed monologues produced and promoted with dark money from the Koch's and others might get you the right to ask questions of a politician who is running in that right wing circle.  It won't get you anywhere with her.  All of you would clearly recognize this if the shoe was on the other foot.

This only came up because SHE CALLED CONSERVATIVES COWARDS AND SAID THEY WOULDNT DEBATE HER!!!!!!!!!!  So much for brilliant game theory.

She won a primary that no one showed up to and is leading a district that is slightly to the right of cuba.  She's also demonstrated time and time again she doesn't know what she's talking about.  She's shovelling ideas that would potentially tripple (literally) the size of the federal government and My time she's asked about it she spews a talking point.  

If u think a sneak attack primary (where Joe Crowley followed ur advice) and a far left district make cortez more respectable then Shapiro or Owens then that's on u.  It's a shame too because I KNOW the dog ate her math homework!!!!

P.s. the right isn't afraid of her or nipping at her heals while she ascends to another state of bring.  We want her to have as much screen time as possible while the more adults adolescents in the Democratic party freak out about messaging.

I'm not saying she's right.
I'm saying that she's playing the game the way that anyone else would in her shoes.
At the end of the day, it's her name on this ballot.
Ben Shapiro's is not.
Candace Owens' is not.
Charles Kirk's is not.
The only debate opportunities she should be considering are from others running for her seat or people already in Congress.
Ben Shapiro should stick with debating liberal pundits.  He does it well.
Candace Owens and Charles Kirk's are monologue artists, from what I can tell.
This is like UCF demanding to play Bama.  And I'm a big UCF fan. But at least UCF and Bama play the same sport by the same rules.  Alexandra knocked on doors in Brooklyn and got tens of thousands of votes.  These other people are playing nationally on social media.  They are playing a different game.  Alexandra has even less obligation to join them.
