A cartoon by Jason Adam Katzenstein from The New Yorker.
Never underestimate the political importance of cold soup. One of the major factors in World War II was Vichyssoise France.
This just in-soup is more intelligent than MTG.
Yeah, AOC doesn’t have room to talk. She was baffled by the existence of a garbage disposal in her apartment.
AOC blown away by first experience with a garbage disposal (nypost.com)
I mean, I commend your dedication to the never-ending saga of bothsidesism. But trying to show that any organism with greater cognitive capacity than an earwig is “just as dumb as MTG” might not be the most productive use of your energy.
So, are you suggesting that MTG has never heard of the Gestapo? Funny that she’d try to use that word then isn’t it?
Unforgivable. Surely any person with the right breeding to become a congressperson should have had such things explained to them by their Head Cook when growing up? Or at least the scullery maid? The next thing you’ll be telling me this peasant doesn’t know which fork to use when eating foie gras!
“You have the right to remain silent- and I wish you would!”
Who are the camera hungry weirdos on the Dem side?
MTG obviously misspoke; AOC was scared, in her own words, of a common kitchen appliance.
I knew it! I just typed “gazpacho” into The Google and the first hit was “News about Marjorie Taylor Greene”. 
The whole episode is a rare insight into what it must be like in the murky fog of what passes for cognition in her feeble brain.
Yeah, because people don’t use hyperbole in casual tweets. Have you met any young women? Their casual speech is full of references to “scary” things by which they are not actually frightened. She also said “there is a monster in my sink”. Do you think she actually thought there was a monster in her sink?
And maybe MTG mis-spoke. But firstly she did so while making a serious accusation, in Congress. Not while lightly mocking herself on twitter. Secondly, we are talking about someone who said forest fires were started by space lasers on purpose. You feel confident that MTG actually isn’t stupid enough
to think the Nazi police were called the Gazpacho? You are more confident of her intelligence than I.
For what it’s worth, garbage disposals are pretty much unheard of in NYC. I think there was a ban on them for a while or something. I had never seen one until I moved away, and basically had no idea what they were for.
But, sure, that’s the same as confusing the Gestapo with gazpacho. Whatever floats your boat.
“In fact, they weren’t even legal in NYC until 1997 {…}”
So two things.
-
MTG is a moron. I don’t know if you realize this, but she’s really dumb. Like colossally stupid. Probably why Republicans like her so much. They seem to prefer a lack of education, knowledge, insight, democracy, etc.

They may be common but the first time you encounter one they’re kind of wild. The first time I encountered why it freaked me out. It was more powerful than I expected. And I’m certainly no coward (you know former soldier and all of that).
But you know. Nice try at bothsidesism.
Maxine Waters has to be on that list.
i always had a healthy fear of the garbage disposal. i didn’t come across one until a friend’s parents got one.
having a healthy fear of kitchen appliances is what keeps your fingers intact.
I have to wonder if it’s all authentic stupidity or if some of it is performance art that she leans into because it works for her politically.
I’ve heard it theorized that these typos or misspeaking things are sometimes on purpose so that whatever they said goes viral. That people like her and Boebert don’t care about being made fun of on Twitter just as long as their bullshit gets spread around.
I never encountered a garbage disposal until I bought a house. I was almost 40.
