United Kingdom Headlines News

United Kingdom Latest News, United Kingdom Headlines

If you were in search of a scientifically minded, steadying presence to guide the country through the potential fallout of the coronavirus, you could not do much worse than Vice-President Mike Pence. This being the Donald Trump administration, however, where qualifications and expertise are often seen as prohibitive factors for top jobs, that’s exactly who we’ve been given.

Weird I thought it went great. She couldn’t answer 3 basic science questions. Y chromosome? Durrr what’s that durrr

Unfortunately, the US has little respect for scientists and Darwin is no-starter for tea baggers and King Don the Feckless. On the other hand, if she wanted a good career in academia, she would have had to settle not for biology or chemistry, but gender studies.

This is a very biased article. They basically had a short twitter spat in which nobody really 'won' or 'lost' anything. Stop with the clickbait headlines!

Yeah it did

She's an idiot and didn't even attempt to answer the question and tried to hide behind some bs high school science fair nonsense and she should have her econ degree rescinded she clearly didn't learn anything that was fact based only propaganda and ignorance.

yahoo LIBERAL GUARDIAN FACT CHECKED: AOC was Educat Dir for just a 5-day long 2017 NE Collegiate World Series for Natl Hispanic Inst. Regarding Intel global, which is a high school annual science fair, AOC won 2nd place in microbiology & NOT 2nd place overall for entire fair

yahoo LIB GUARDIAN.FACT CHECKED: AOC holds NO awards from MIT Lincoln Lab. Lab kept 'honorable' by handing out asteroid names to winners of science & engineering High School Fairs. AOC is one of over 4,000 middle- & high-school students that have had asteroids named after them

You’re saying this women is intelligent and witty and yet she literally thought pulling yourself up by your bootstraps was a literal thing. The only thing that didn’t end well was how she responded.

She's an embarrassing mess. 😂

Prof_K I love when I read/see news happening on Twitter before it's published.

Fake news at its finest right here

And this in no way resembled what occurred

It ended well since the award winning AOC cited her accolades from her high school science project on roundworms.

Uh, where exactly did that go wrong for tedcruz?

AOC has no 'scientific knowlege'.

Well, she scored a 100% straight-between-the-eyeballs knockout there. That'll teach him to google her first.🙄

You would have thought that after the Molly Scott-Cato put down in the EU Parliament, people would check before making a put down that could blow up in their face. 🤣

Brilliant!

Ted Cruz isn't allowed to mock anyone since he let his family get embarrassed and then rolled over like a neutered dog

Well that reads like a totally unbiased, objective report with no agenda whatsoever.

Did we read the same Twitter thread? The only thing AOC did was prove she has an education she doesn't know how to use...

AOC is an embarrassment to kindergarten classes worldwide.

AOC literally listed an achievement from MIT that she failed to mention was a second place high school science fair project! I think tedcruz won this round you imbeciles. 🤦🏻‍♀️

So smart of her

Didn't end well for AOC. Cruz did fine.

Guardian tries to cast Ted Cruz as incompetent. Fake news will be fake news! The bartender had no idea what she was talking about

Anyone else notice the 'microbiologist bartender' failed to answer the question?

Ted, you are trying to attack a woman. That is a bad move. You are trying to attack a woman that might be smarter than you, that is a potentially bad political move. You are calling her out and publicly challenging her to an intellectual dual. Bad call.

Yeah, for her.

These comments are as stupid as tedcruz

The dems are such hypocrites, AOC said Mike Pence doesn't believe in Science, yet AOC believes a man can have a period & get pregnant. She also believes a woman whose 8 months pregnant isn't pregnant with a LIVE BABY, it's just a clump of cells. MAGA KAG TRUMP Trump2020

Women globally are used to men dismissing our knowledge. I’m glad it’s finally coming to the surface exactly how much gaslighting smart women have to go through.

Ted Cruz, the man who doesn't believe dinosaurs walked the Earth, has no concept of evolutionary biology, DNA, fossils, or Darwin. Thinks women were made from a man's rib, evil comes from an apple and people magically arose from dirt & a powerful space daddy...you mean that guy?

Yes it did. She looked like a petulant child. As always.

It’s was hilarious. Made me like Ted even more! AOC is a nightmare, ready for her to be GONE! 👋🏻

Question 1: is the Big Bang, evolution, etc real, or does genesis explain the origin of species? Question 2: is sex a social construct or something rooted in biology / relates to chromosomes / science and not feelings / a social construct? EHHHH WRONG you both fail, so STFU

She was given that award in high school. Not bad but it hardly makes her a scientist since she studied international relations and economics in uni. Nice try Guardian.

Wait, so she won 2nd place in a science fair, it makes her an expert in science? You realize she was bad and science and went into economics, which she is also bad it. Yeah... didn't end well... laughable.

Not for her.

Sorry, her reply was non-responsive. Given the credentials she has been awarded, I remain very interested in what her actual beliefs on this matter are.

Yep. It did not end well for Ms. OC. Citing accomplishments instead of answering questions because the answers expose her positions as anti-science is not a victory.

Beautiful put down of that muppet Cruz

I hear she's now trying to get free electoral college passed.

It ended well.The dunce claims that Pence can’t put together a task force with his access to PhD’s and epidemiologists? The girl cites “farting cows”, Hogwarts, puppies, bootstraps and can’t complete her benefit package. No marriage/kids/home ownership- she’s not an adult.

1st place prize at this “sCiEnCe FaIr” is $75K She has an asteroid named after her for placing 2nd

AOC is an intellectual parking meter. I've seen artichokes with higher IQs.

It ended with AOC saying she got an award in a science-fair. I think it ended well for Ted.

Is this the remake of dumb and dumber?

Do not get into an argument with AOC, she will rip you to shreds

Only to find nothing to mock.

Actually it did, it showed she is self absorbed and will not answer a question. I believe she is incapable of answering questions since she always deflects or it is all about her.

SenTedCruz believes that because he has Y-chromosome he is superior in any field of knowledge to any woman who has double X chromosome. Apparently in his case it only means that he has genetic misogyny complex.

Mock the glasses if anything...

It proves that not only is Cruz trying to inflame his base with proof of his devotion to anti-abortion politics and lack of a science background, but also his total lack of knowledge about research and google as a verb.

She's on a one-woman mission to put an end to dumb blonde jokes once and for all.

She didn't provide anything other than a high schooler response

It doesn't sound like such a 'put-down' for Cruz. But ambiguously, where would they both might want to take the argument to.

Clever woman.

How did it not end well? She posted her trifold science experiment. She tries so hard to sit at the adult table.

So you’re gonna try and elevate a science fair award too.

Sometimes you look smarter, Ted, if you say nothing but look wise.

AOC is so smoking hot.

I can only assume that you've not read the article and most definitely haven't looked at the tweets.

Ted Cruz has no clue what the words he says actually mean. He is the prime example of a Republican puppet regurgitating a false narrative.
