He interned at the Heritage Foundation.

I wouldn’t rule out “favors” being exchanged.

He’s got the most nepo baby face I’ve seen.

Hahahah yea....yea

Unilateral appointment to a national security role is way different from a vote to represent a group of people. AOC also had basically no experience outside that of relevant college coursework.

It's not stopping - it's calling out the most blatant of nepotistic appointments in our history (not just this one) for exactly the reasons you're listing above.

I may be hyper focusing on wording a little, but I feel like it's a pretty huge difference.

AOC was a waitress after attending Boston University where she double-majored in international relations and economics.

Fugate (the chose in the picture) attended UT SA until 2024 with no documented majors. no military experience. no counterterrorism training.

he did work as an intern at the Heritage Foundation until his appointment to this current position.

so tell me, why do you feel the need to draw a relationship between Fugate and AOC when they are obviously no where near related?

I fully agree, however I took the previous jobs to be as a highlight of the lack of experience rather than mockery for what it's worth.

Like if the lad had been balls deep in relevant internships or something it would have given more credence.

Certainly no shade here on the jobs he did.

a 22 year old college grad being in charge of terror prevention is wild lmao it doenst even need to be discussed, there is no good argument in favor of it

Like it's a medical condition right? That wasn't a choice.... right?

a 22-year-old doesn't know shit about preventing terrorism I don't care what the fuck their background is

That is his entire resume though. It's not a "back in college" thing when you are fresh out of college.

Yeah, the focus the landscaping part is weird. It seems more relevant to me that 5 years ago, he was in high school, rather than that he did landscaping.

Yeah, the headline means plenty... It means that he's breathtakingly unqualified to hold the position he's been given, just like you would have been as well. Though it sounds like you might actually have the sense to recognize that and (hopefully) wouldn't have taken such a position, thereby endangering the population at large.

He’s 22 so the recent work experience being unrelated to running counter terror is relevant

The Heritage Foundation tells us everything, he's a POS.

AOC was a waitress after attending Boston University where she double-majored in international relations and economics.

Fugate (the chode in the picture) attended UT SA until 2024 with no documented majors. no military experience. no counterterrorism training.

AOC represents people, not pretend to be an expert lol.

Congress people are supposed to be amateurs. That's why they have staff to help them understand the text of the legislation they vote on. They represent the peopl's interests (or are supposed to), and their staff help them with the understanding of the text. All that's required for being in congress is just ability to read.

Cabinet and other similar appointed positions are supposed to require skill and experience.

I'd still take a misanthropic ficus over a conservative.

You know he's been practising that for hours in front of the mirror.
