Ha, ha ha. It just occurred to me how absurd this statement above of Piers Morgan is. "AOC gets a pass!!!!..." AOC is one of the most consistently attacked U.S. politicians. This constant snipping at the extremely rare individual that break's from the tribe by making themselves a vocal critic of the status quo is the unavoidable result of our innate human nature. It is never going away. OK, maybe in a few million years of evolution.* AOC is the right messenger, whether the message is right is to be determined later. She is the alpha female doing battle with the the other alpha females and males for the tribes loyalty. We have many examples of the wrong messenger. It is rare for change to occur when the message is brought by the wrong messenger, even when the message is correct. When the right messenger appears, change can occur regardless of whether it's the right message. *For more on Homo sapiens tribal nature see, E.O. Wilson's "The Social Conquest of Earth."
I found it pretty interesting. E. O. Wilson is in his eighties and still writing. He is the world authority on eusocial species which includes ants, bees and we humans. His specialty is ants. Over his lifetime, Wilson has influenced a significant number of today's best known intellectuals in fields ranging from the sciences to the social sciences. I first learned of Wilson through my economics mentor who, while working on his Ph.D. in economics, had taken time off to study with Wilson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._O._Wilson
