Analysis: Why an anti-Ocasio-Cortez chant at a Trump rally was all but inevitable

By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow March 29 at 10:13 AM Trump Organization executive Donald Trump Jr. served as a warm-up act for his father at a campaign rally Thursday night in Grand Rapids, Mich.

“Think about the fact that every mainstream, leading Democratic contender,” Trump Jr. said, “is taking the advice of a freshman congresswoman who three weeks ago didn’t know the three branches of government. I don’t know about you guys, but that’s pretty scary.”The “three branches of government” thing stems from a live-streamed video of Ocasio-Cortez in which she briefly stumbled over the composition of the U.S. government.

Fox News covers Ocasio-Cortez far more heavily than other cable news networks. On average so far this year, Fox News has mentioned her in 0.6 percent of every 15-second segment it has aired — four times as much as MSNBC and five times as often as CNN. The result? As a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday demonstrated, Ocasio-Cortez is viewed strongly negatively by Republicans. But she’s also much better known by Republicans, with 23 percent of Republicans saying they don’t know enough about her to have an opinion. Among Democrats, 44 percent say they have no opinion, while those who do see her much more positively.

I believe his follower would go over a cliff if trump ask them to. Be careful of who you lead.

One more thing I've noticed GOP WOMEN are much more classier, beautiful, than Dems

Loved it, I was at home helping, and I told my wife get in the kitchen make me some snacks and bring me some tea, she's a good sport, that's the kind of people we are great Loving AMERICAN'S, I was joking with her, but the truth I really didn't, but she likes her 5.7 Hemi Chargr

Pure crazy jealousy, realDonaldTrump ramping up his red pill cult members. 41% that like Trump are not 69% of America. And most of his base likes the hate. But when it hits thier wallet then your see his cult member escape.

This is not a desperate man is it ?

Because she is tupid as a box of rocks. tupid

Is no her as a person or woman is all those malicious ideas that she represents, ideas that had caused a million death in the name of freedom and egalitarian

Trump mobs always degrade women

She couldn’t pay for this publicity

In some eyes, unless you are white, male & rich, you are less & therefore eligible for ridicule.

You are giving her too much credit. She is ignorant, has a socialist agenda y is being manipulated by her Chief of Staff that I suggest to everybody to really find out who he is......

Because she’ll destroy America in a second if given the chance

DT has a mandate to protect Americans yet these negative chants endanger the life vets of those he names. How awful and how divisive. Disgraceful

She's the reason why Trump will crush 2020

AOC is a mover and shaker. very bright. her mesage resonates with millions of Americans. and she is just getting started.

What is realDonaldTrump if he can't attack, blame, and incite rage? A problem solver? A uniter? A leader? Nope. He's just a scared whiner who's imagined enemy attacks are getting stale. 'When you can't accomplish anything... find a new person to attack' Trump 2020 slogan

How much longer til the trump mob starts the “You will not replace us “ chant?

Hey, it took them 2plus years to learn a new chant

Trumpers are terrified of STRONG WOMEN

Just an example of how disgusting trump is.

The gop fear AOC

She scares them to death. GOOD!

DFT? Lock him up.

It's not a great white hope rally for nothing

Cause Hilary is a private citizen & AOC is now a member of Gov. with valid ideas on how 2 increase human existence. Which scares the poo out of the brainwashed human sheep that fear change. well changing is happening. Backwards & time don’t do dat!

She better increase her security; trump likes to rile up his followers & accepts no responsibility for the violence they inflict trying to make him happy; wish she could sue trump

I’ll give you a hint. No cows.

it's just hateful and wrong because the Republicans are leader of this and wonder why people call Trump supporters racist.

Damn AOC is powerful 😁

Of course, because that’s the way Deliverance Don and his gullibles are

Uh, Deplorables comes to mind.

question is why aren't these type of gross nasty chants on the Democratic side? Republicans have lost their way. they are now the Party of nasty entertainers.

Reprinting that barrage of Fox’s anti-AOC propaganda, verbatim, only cranked up the volume on it. Honestly Phil, the data/charts provided were quality enough. You don’t need to effectively re-tweet all of Fox’s evening lineup to prove the point.

Because she's SMART and Republicans are afraid of smart influential people. Especially women of color.

If you weren’t disturbed enough by his first video expose, “The Brains Behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez” then check out Part 2—be prepared to be stunned when you see who the Commucrats are running for President right now!😳 The Brains Behind AOC Part II

Years before Hillary ran for president the first time, republicans work to make her into the boogeyman that everyone should fear. They lied, Exaggerated and bent the truth to destroy her reputation. Then Bernie picked up the mantle and finished the job. AOC is the new target

Bs article

They're intimidated by her. Poor babies.

I think she nailed it 'imposter syndrome '...AOC

The space this young Representative occupies the space where Hillary was. I fully expect the chants to include both it’s almost set in stone. I hope eventually it will fade but I guess that is wishful thinking.

She should sue for slander

Trump's rallies are similar to Adolf Hitler's. They are mad because AOC is saying the right things.

I don't like Trump. I refused to vote for him. But WE saw the same or worse against, good polite people with different ideas like GW Bush and Mitt Romney. These people love someone giving the blind hate back the left has thrived on. Left is getting what it created.

They are simply afraid of her...she doesn't back down from the untruths...

Because even the left thinks she's irrational, ignorant, arrogant, narcissistic, and childish. Why wouldn't the right? She's LeftTrump

She wants attention...so she'll get it.

Yes, her own stupidity creates a lot of distaste and humor response to her.

There are other freshmen congressional women it's odd and frightening the obsession they have.

Because real American patriots don't want socialism and that's what she stands for. The rest have kept it quiet but she's very outspoken yet constantly shows her lack of experience and knowledge about history and world events.

The cult doesn't like ppl with an IQ over 20

'Sheep! Mere sheep!' /s/ Longshanks, 'Braveheart'

Pardons coming soon too

The GOP is scared shitless of a little Latina girl, her popularity, and her different ideology. It’s pathetic. Cult 45 talk tough, but they’re just scared cowards.

It’s text book,trying to demean and install fear about something your unwilling to educate yourself about so you can debate with facts instead of BS.

And you can blame DonaldJTrumpJr He is threatened by intelligent women

She is a 'target' because the lying propagandist MSM?Politicians/Left is propping her up, like some champion. You guys are trying to make it seem like her ideas will save the world. All the Right is doing, is taking the Mask off the Nonsense you guys constantly spew.

Every hero needs a villain. She's a good one (villain, to be perfectly clear).

Because AOC is not just stupid but a SUPER IDIOT, like that’s her super power.

for New Yorkers, she's a villain 🤪🤪🤪

A woman politician being vilified by the GOP? Say it ain't so!

That's easy WaPo. She doesn't stand for American values and America!!!

WaPo is obsessed with AOC. It’s unhealthy

Maybe because the media is obsessed with pushing the socialist as the face of the Democrat party and the future of American politics?

What a bunch of snowflakes. That intimidated by a 28 year old freshman congressperson. Their acknowledgement of her is so dumb. The 'Be Best' gang just needs someone to pick on. How is she a threat to them unless they allow her to be?

This tweet only feeds the hatred. Has the media not learned that they fuel racism.

I thought she was Adam Schiff. My bad...

Well deserved

It would have happened with anybody (except Tulsi Gabbard 🤔), but in this case, they’re coming toe-to-toe with their social media anti-matter: AOC is more adept in this exchange, and it’ll prove ineffective

Just when you thought MAGAts could only chant, 'lock her up'....

That superbowl ad really held up well.

It's laughable to see washingtonpost use the word analysis.

The media is failing this nation

Cannot wait until she’s 35

Republicans like chanting in groups. You saw that at the 2016 RNC Sportpalastrede Fest.

Trumps record on women is horrific his whole campaign is about name calling and bullying and call to arms to fill anti Americans with hate towards their neighbors and it’s just getting worse

Were all their dogeared copies of the Orwell's 1984 Training Manual bookmarked at the first mention of the Two Minutes' Hate?

LaLocaCortez talks. That's why she's the tip of the iceberg and visible. Underneath, there is a huge representation of USA haters in the US Congress. We dare you look at the New York Representatives. You'll find many Socialist, commie democrats. realDonaldTrump Pedroamartinez

How about discussing how Trump is trying take billions from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, education, veteran's programs? Who cares what Trump cult 45 is ranting about? The chant is inevitable because media keeps pushing the AOC narrative. Duh.

Because she's awesome and they're terrified of her bc they have no answer for her. And this is what they do, attack those that threaten the most.

Sorry MAGAts, she’s just not into you.

She is a mess

Of course. Without a scapegoat to hate, what is a Nazi, anyway?
