Ayanna Pressley and AOC team up for show of Democratic elites

Hey family!

Are you all set for the big fireside chat with Ayanna Pressley and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

Once we find out where it will be held, all you have to do is cough up $250 bucks and you, too, can shake hands and maybe even speak to the Democratic elite!

That’s the gist of the invitation to the event in Boston Friday with the two most prominent members of the jet-setting Democratic “Squad.”

“Our sis Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is in Boston this Friday!” the Pressley invitation reads, calling it “an evening of organizing, activation and unapologetic joy!”

“Pull up for a candid conversation with both of us,” it says.

The big-ticket event is an example of just how far removed from reality Pressley and AOC really are.

It will cost you $60 just to get a ticket to get a glimpse of the star liberal congresswomen – only if you can produce an ID, that is. How’s that for irony?

And the location is a secret. The invitation notes that “Location will be shared prior to event date.”

The “meet and greet” portion of the event will cost a pretty $250 – way out of reach for the average person that AOC and Pressley are pretending to be. Only the elite will get a chance to shake their hand and possibly even actually speak to them.

The average person won’t be going. They need the $250 to pay their utility bill, their rent or to fill up their pickup truck with gas.

Maybe that’s why polling shows that seven in ten voters view the Democratic Party as “out of touch” with average Americans.

Donald Trump rallies, by contrast, are completely free and available to as many people as they can jam into the venue. And they let you know exactly when and where it will be held.

And Democrats like AOC constantly criticize Republican “fat cats” despite the fact that she and Bernie Sanders fly to their events on $15,000 an hour private jets.

Liberal Democrats like AOC pretend to be women of the people because they use phony working-class accents. Ed Markey posts videos of himself and his “Dunks” in a display of pathetic pandering.

They think that’s how they relate to the average voter. Does anyone really think Maura Healey and Markey are Dunkin Donuts fanatics?

Pressley has millions in rental properties including a home in tony Martha’s Vineyard and her husband’s consulting business suddenly takes off after she’s elected, and she preaches socialism and goes after rich Republicans.

Markey lives in wealthy suburban Chevy Chase, Maryland and constantly trashes Trump and hobnobs with the elite.

They don’t understand how pompous and phony they look.

Trump’s Department of Homeland Security trolls local Democrats by posting pictures of Fenway Park and the caption “Worth Fighting For” and Seth Moulton uses faux foul-mouthed indignation – stealing a famous line from David Ortiz – to protest it.

“Nobody is going to dictate our freedom,” said Moulton, whose Senate campaign against fellow liberal Markey is floundering.

Don’t be fooled. It’s pandering at its worst and the Democrats are great at it.
