Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., co-hosted a “student services fair” with Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., to connect high schoolers in the Bronx with service academies.
However, the presence of military branch representatives sparked complaints from progressives who accused her of hosting a military recruitment fair for high schoolers.
Ocasio-Cortez later made a social media video addressing the criticisms, saying that lies and rumors are “just not a right-wing thing.”
In response, “Outnumbered” co-host Kayleigh McEnany said that it usually tends to be a right-wing thing where lies are made up about you.
McEnany also pointed out that it’s one of the noblest things to serve and serve in the military at those high ranks, but for Ocasio-Cortez, that’s a curse.

For Ocasio-Cortez, recruiting young people to serve in the military is not good, and it’s a curse on the far left.
Commentary:
It’s not surprising that Ocasio-Cortez is being criticized by her own political far-left, especially when it comes to recruiting young people to serve in the military. McEnany’s response is spot on when she pointed out that serving in the military is one of the noblest things you could do in society.
It’s important to honor our men and women in uniform who are putting their lives on the line to protect our freedoms. Ocasio-Cortez should be ashamed of herself for trying to take away this opportunity from young people who want to serve their country.
