No guts, no brains Ocasio-Cortez afraId to debate Shapiro

Daily Wire editor in chief, Ben Shapiro, a conservative commentator, Harvard graduate and attorney, challenged democratic socialist and Democratic Party darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to a debate. He even offered to donate $10,000 to her campaign or to a charity if she prefers.

Shapiro tweeted a short video Wednesday in which he mocked DNC chairman Tom "Garbage Mouth" Perez for referring to Ocasio-Cortez, a New York congressional candidate and former bartender, the "future of the Democratic Party," before Ben issued his challenge:
"Miss Ocasio-Cortez, I'm really excited that you've been elevated to that position and I would love to have a real conversation with you about the issues. You've noted that you think Republicans are afraid to debate you or talk to you or discuss the issues with you."
He added:
"Not only am I eager to discuss the issues with you, I'm willing to offer $10,000 to your campaign, today, for you to come on our Sunday special. We can have an hour long conversation about all the topics under the sun, really probe your belief system. However you want to do it, I am more than willing to talk to you. Let's make this happen."
Shapiro said that he wants to make "America a more civil and interesting place," and that a conversation with her could do just that.

Rather than accepting the challenge, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted a non sequitur in response to Shapiro:
"Just like catcalling, I don't owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions.
"And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one." 
What a cowardly tactic to which Ben Shapiro responded:
"Discussion and debate are not 'bad intentions.' Slandering someone asa sexist catcaller without reason or evidence does demonstrate cowardice and bad intent, however."
Boom! Shapiro already scored debate points by proving, without much effort, that the left is ensconced in identity politics and has little else to offer.
