The ritzy-ditzy doll from Yorktown Heights went after Carville when he blamed the Democratic Party's "wokeness" for Terry McAuliffe's Virginia gubernatorial election loss to a truck driver. AOC claimed the term 'woke' is "almost exclusively used by older people," in spite of the fact that the term gained prominence after the shooting of thug Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014.
The left sees the idea of being "woke" as a person who self-identifies as a staunch social justice warrior, in touch with current political concerns like 'Spartacus' Cory Booker. And, in a Newsweek article referring to a recent The Hill/HarrisX poll of about 1,000 registered voters, about one-third of U.S. voters consider themselves to be "woke." While the ages of this population was not elucidated, it seems likely that not all of them were older than AOC. A larger percentage of men, 35 percent, said they would fit under the wide umbrella of the term "woke", while only 30 percent of women surveyed said the same. A 60 percent majority of Democrats surveyed said they think "wokeness" is a good thing for the country, but only about 20 percent of RINOs agreed.
AOC never defined her idea of 'older' as she did not assign a number to the term "woke," so one might conclude she meant anyone older than she, but perhaps she just says things in such a pedantic way that people will believe the word salads she often whips up to confuse her fans.
So, according to Carville, the loss suffered by the loser, Terry McAuliffe was primarily a result of "stupid wokeness" and the progressive agenda, and this pissed of AOC because it hit home for her and she had to attack the speaker, not the point, as is her wont.
ABC 13 News in a tweet quoted the New York socialist ditz and naturally, the ditz responded:
"How can news outlets even attribute words to me I didn’t say?"
"I said there are limits to trying to mobilize a campaign with a 100% moderate strategy without mobilizing the base. Said nothing [about] ‘wokeness’ which is a term almost exclusively used by older people these days btw"
The progressive brain trust also claimed the word "woke" is mainly used by "Carville and Fox News pundits," because she is obviously an avid follower of Fox News and James Carville.

In an attempt to woo her young, inexperienced, naive, socialist base, she said that statements targeting younger generations as "woke" by older Democrats will hurt "youth turnout" at the polls, just like kids learning from home when parents can see what's being taught to them will blow back on teachers and school boards.
But whatever we do, we must allow AOC her absolute freedom of speech, even though the left would deny us ours. She needs to keep talking and talking and talking, and then let's see where that gets her pary.
