Republicans Blast Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Sour Expression During State of the Union Address

By Andy Borowitz

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s facial expression during the State of the Union address came under continued attack from Republicans on Thursday, with the former House Speaker John Boehner joining the chorus of disapproval.

“When I saw her with that pained expression on her face, I couldn’t believe my eyes,” Boehner said. “It was like nothing I had ever seen before in my life.”

The former Speaker said that Ocasio-Cortez broke his “No. 1 rule” of reacting to a State of the Union speech: “No matter what the President is saying, be sure to look cheerful and upbeat at all times.”

“I didn’t always agree with what President Obama had to say over the years, but I always kept a smile on my face,” he said. “I think if the congresswoman went back and looked at video of me and my fellow-Republicans during the Obama speeches, she could learn a lot about maintaining a non-stop happy facial expression.”

1. Funny, but sad

that so often Borowitz & other satire could well be true these days.

[EffieBlack]

2. I made sure to put the satire emoji on otherwise people will probably believe it's true

because it could be true ...

[Pacifist Patriot]

3. Good thing you did because I sailed over it being Borowitz.

Given what I've been reading on Twitter lately, Andy is getting some stiff competition from reality. I would absolutely have thought this was true. A lot tamer than the hypocritical BS they spout every nanosecond.

[Pepsidog]

20. Me too, I thought it was real.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

4. Yeah. A lot of times on twitter many people respond to someone

tweeting a Borowitz thing clearly not knowing it's satire. Good idea to cue that somehow, like you did.

But damn, I never thought I'd live to see a day when an entire presidential administration is as absolutely horrendous as this one. I thought we were on a slow but relatively steady trek toward a better world. Boy do I feel stupid now.

11. Did you get fooled by this satire (like I did at first)?

But yes, this could totally be coming from a repub.

And let us never forget "YOU LIE !!!!!"

[FreepFryer]

6. "You should smile more." Who asked you? (n/t)

[IronLionZion]

7. This could totally be real

Andy Borowitz stopped doing satire long ago

[yaesu]

12. but repugs yelling "you lie" during an Obama SOTU is okay with them,their complaints are meaningless

[TNNurse]

13. But a woman-Peggy Noonan

did really criticize her for her expression. A damn woman telling another to smile......

[Apollyonus]

15. Sounded real to me

until I saw that it was satire.

[tclambert]

16. Borowitz has caught me so many times, making me think it was a real story

when it was only satire indistinguishable from truth.

[Roadside Attraction]

17. If . . .

If I had been required to sit there and listen to Trump's bullshit for 90 minutes, I would have puked. We should congratulate AOC for not laughing out loud; not shouting "BULLSHIT;" and not throwing a few rotten tomatoes.

[kwolf68]

18. Funny

Funny

[2naSalit]

19. Guess he never looks in the mirror!

22. I fell for it. LOL.

I thought it was real, and it could be, under any circumstance.

[GeoWilliam750]

23. Made me look....

24. Listening to a criminal talk and walk around freely is NOTHING to
