It's all but official.
"Woke 1.0 was crazy," Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said this month, quoting a far-left New York City councilman. Given the congresswoman's own record — she previously insisted that some groups "have no choice but to riot," called for defunding the police and "prison abolition" and used the demeaning term "menstruating person" to describe a woman — the crazy that she speaks of was also her own.
Good for A.O.C. for acknowledging mistakes. Now can we have some accountability for the vast damage that Woke 1.0 did, not to mention the damage that Woke 2.0 continues to do?..
