Let’s just preface this post with a reminder that Andrea Mitchell gets paid to know what the hell she’s talking about.

Keep that in mind when you consider what she said today about the Squad of AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley:

Andrea Mitchell just said on MSNBC that none of the squad are socialists and that she doesn’t “know where that is coming from,” that it’s a “Republican talking point.” Never mind that AOC said capitalism is irredeemable and that socialism is the answer. — Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) July 18, 2019

This is not a drill:

.@mitchellreports laughably claims none of the left-wing "squad" members of Congress are socialist pic.twitter.com/Z8l5lPd0pP — Kyle Drennen (@kjdrennen) July 18, 2019

Even the Squad would beg to differ with that.

AOC isn't a socialist ?

She calls herself a Democratic Socialist. — Noah (@reeb1011) July 18, 2019

Just because Ocasio-Cortez actually calls herself a democratic socialist is no reason to think she's a socialist. Oh, wait… https://t.co/PXq8XRvOC8 — Scott Whitlock (@ScottJW) July 18, 2019

For the record, @mitchellreports, AOC is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Here's how Vox describes DSA. pic.twitter.com/3CQXCqQMxo — Mo Mo (@molratty) July 18, 2019

Let's take a look at what DSA says about themselves @mitchellreports https://t.co/Lett268kGx — Mo Mo (@molratty) July 18, 2019

She also calls herself a democratic socialist. That's not our talking point it's hers. — John Miller?❌ (@its_all__fake) July 18, 2019

Breaking news: Andrea Mitchell is a hack.
