Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Says She’s Going to ‘Run Train on the Progressive Agenda’
Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mocked her critics in a
Washington Postinterview, telling them to “enjoy being exhausted for the next two years while we run train on the progressive agenda.”
According to
Urban Dictionary — not always a reliable source, but useful in this case — “run train” is colloquially defined as “to gangbang” someone with “several friends.”
Ocasio-Cortez’s pledge to gang bang the progressive agenda comes in the transcript of an extensive interview with the
Post, in which she was asked about “conservative media” setting her up as “another boogeyman on the left.”
“I also think it’s encouraging because this is my sixth day in Congress and they’re out of all their artillery,” she said, referencing the fake photo of her feet in a bathtub that was covered — controversially —
by the Daily Caller. “The nude is supposed to be like the bazooka. You know, like, ‘We’re going to take her down.’ Dude, you’re all out of bullets, you’re all out of bombs, you’re all out of all this stuff.”
“What have you got left?” she asked. “I’m six days into the term, and you already used all your ammo. So enjoy being exhausted for the next two years while we run train on the progressive agenda.”
It’s unclear whether Ocasio-Cortez — the freshman congresswoman and democratic socialist from New York — is aware that “run train” is a gang bang reference.
AOC also remarked on the intense scrutiny she receives, telling the
Post it’s “physically exhausting.”
“The actual transition process is exhausting, but then the attention is enormous too,” she said.
