I love this woman.
Democratic socialist wunderkid Ocasio-Cortez compares her election to landing on the moon and wiring America for electricity...
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 29, spoke at an environmentalist event Friday with other liberal freshman lawmakers
- She compared her surprising congressional victory, making her America's youngest-even congresswoman, to major watershed events in American history
- 'We went to the moon. We electrified the nation. We established civil rights. We enfranchised the country,' the Democratic socialist said
- Then she likened those turning points to what happened November 6 'when so many of us won an election this year'
- Ocasio-Cortez polled 15,897 votes in the primary election that made her November victory a foregone conclusion in a heavily anti-Trump district
- There are 214,750 active registered Democrats in the district; fewer than 28,000 cast ballots in the primary
