Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a message for all of the fact-checkers out there: stop worrying about her mistakes.

AOC says people are too concerned about her being precisely, factually, and semantically correct. She says she’s morally right and that’s what really matters:

“There's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right,” @AOC says in response to criticism that she’s made factual errors. https://t.co/sKf3sHl9F6 pic.twitter.com/xKc2eB7GEk — 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) January 7, 2019







In other words, don’t worry about the fact that she has no idea how to pay for her socialist healthcare-for-all plan. She’s morally right or something, and that’s what matters.

The WAPO fact-checker responded to her comments:

Sorry, not the right answer. https://t.co/aqMADobOvJ — Glenn Kessler (@GlennKesslerWP) January 7, 2019



Here’s some other great responses:

This is not a binary choice. And there's no excuse for not doing your homework. And the only correct response to being shown to be factually wrong is to correct/acknowledge/apologize for your error. https://t.co/A4In1t4X8E — Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) January 7, 2019

I fail to see how it's ever morally right to be factually wrong. https://t.co/CtijknQLS7 — Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) January 7, 2019

And...yet...every word or thought by @realDonaldTrump is scrutinized & highlighted - any misstatement hype ventilated over by the media- here's the bright line difference - @AOC & the @DNC are DECEPTIVE with facts & they expect a pass because they are "lying" for greater good... https://t.co/K14lrvJeOV — Tony Shaffer (@T_S_P_O_O_K_Y) January 7, 2019
