Trump Says 'Slovenly' Joe Crowley 'Got His Ass Kicked' by 'Young Woman' With 'Energy'

by Rachel Dicker | 10:08 pm, June 27th, 2018

President Donald Trump gave a shoutout to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for unseating career politician Joe Crowley in New York’s 14th district – but not for good reason.

“One of my biggest critics, a slovenly man named Joe Crowley, got his ass kicked,” Trump said to booming approval from the crowd. “By a young woman who had a lot of energy,” he said of Ocasio-Cortez. “She had a lot of energy!”

“He spent a lot of money,” Trump continued. “He had a lot of money left over. Everyone was pouring a fortune… He was going to take [House Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi‘s place and I was so disappointed ’cause I want to keep Nancy Pelosi right where she is with [California Rep.] Maxine Waters.”

“Please, I want to make a plea to my Democrat friends: Please, please, please, don’t remove Nancy Pelosi,” he added. She should be where she is. And please keep Maxine Waters on the air as your face and your mouthpiece for the Democratic Party. Please.”

“Politics is a mean game, isn’t it?” Trump jeered. “It’s a fleeting game.”

and he'll be making racist, sexist comments about Ocasio-Cortez and calling her "crazy" and "low IQ" -- then deflecting criticism of those comments by claiming he isn't racist, sexist, ableist because he praised her energy once. It's like clockwork.

during her campaign. And now dump is praising her?

I'm NOT accusing because I honestly am not familiar with Crowley or Ocasio-Cortez. But this news jumps out at me.

and she called Trump a terrible disaster, or something like that. I’m not sure what you’re saying here.

trump and for running on the issues. Mika kind of used that talking point as an opening to bash Hillary and the democratic party as well. That was my interpretation, based on the few minutes I saw. But feel free to judge for yourself! I caught it about 13 mins in.

To core values in a more subtle way. No one wants to be told they supported a fool.

Mika is wrong.. and stupid for thinking that would be a freaking plus.

trump just wants to LIE about Joe Crowley and he's using this to do it.
