In the Senate primary race between Joe Kennedy III and Ed Markey, AOC knows who she wants to lead the next generation:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, on the Kennedy-Markey primary, just now: “Sen. Markey is the generational change we’ve been waiting for.” — Matt Fuller (@MEPFuller) September 19, 2019

Oh, for sure. Like, totally. Wait … huh?

Sorry, come again? — Paul McLeod (@pdmcleod) September 19, 2019

The hip, with-it one, of course.

Senator Markey… The 73 year old? The "generational change" they've been looking for? ? — Politically Agnostic (@joeleyare) September 19, 2019

Wait. Is @AOC talking about Ed Markey? The dude who has been in Congress since 1976? https://t.co/fi8Qyst4dF — RBe (@RBPundit) September 19, 2019

Ed Markey is 73 years old and has been in Congress since the Carter Administration. https://t.co/mRxXVgJTHV — Emily “Al Fredo” Zanotti (@emzanotti) September 19, 2019

But he’s from a generation, so that still counts.

She knows he's older, Seth. She just doesn't know what "generation" means. — Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) September 19, 2019

That’s what you think, Charles. AOC knows exactly what it means. Just let her explain:

To be clear, AOC is very aware that Ed Markey is older than Joe Kennedy. “Generational change is about issues,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Generational change doesn’t mean ‘elect whoever is younger.’” — Matt Fuller (@MEPFuller) September 19, 2019

Bless her heart.

That’s arguably a dumber response than not knowing — Steve (@Sjanderson86) September 19, 2019

My God. She doesn't know what "generational" means. https://t.co/NAjX2XeIK7 — RBe (@RBPundit) September 19, 2019

Didn’t you hear? Being “factually correct” is for losers and conservatives.
