That's crazy talk Coach. You have NO F'n idea whether she's bright or a moron. ALL you know is what you've had "reported" to you.
When you have met her personally and had a chance to actually gauge her mind BASED on reasonable interaction, THEN you'll be able to opine on this congressperson's relative level of intelligence. Until then you're just revealing yourself to be extremely biased on AOC.
With all due respect, this is completely wrong. We judge people's intelligence all the time that we have never spoke with. I'm pretty sure you have made plenty of comments regarding Trump's intelligence. You have probably never met the guy. You have the right to use the information available to you to form that opinion.It is part of every election. We vote for those who agree with us ideologically, but we also gauge intelligence. This is also part of the hiring process. When I am looking at applications, I am using the data available to gauge competence.
As far as the "reported" part, she does a televised interview at least once a week. I don't need a reporter to tell me how to think. I can form my own opinions.
