As the Denver Post’s Sam Talabchnik reports:
Colorado Democrats will get a chance to see U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in September when the freshman congresswoman headlines the annual Boulder County party fundraiser.
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., will be joined by Rep. Joe Neguse, a Democrat from Lafayette, at the 44th annual Truman Dinner on Sept. 21 at the University of Colorado, according to a news release from Boulder County Democrats.
“Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez is not only a great friend but an amazing colleague whose ability to speak truth to power has inspired millions of people across our country, including many here in Colorado,” Neguse said.
Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is currently one of the bigger draws for Democrats on the fundraising circuit, with her high profile as a young fiercely progressive woman who unseated an establishment stalwart. Ocasio-Cortez’s visibility has also made her a target of heavy Republican vilification, which has greatly intensified since President Donald Trump started singling out Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and several other Democratic women of color for racially-charged attacks on their patriotism.
All things being equal it should be a great fundraiser for Boulder County Democrats, as well as another chance for local Republicans to offend swing 2020 voters by gratuitously trashing the best-known Latina lawmaker in contemporary American politics.
There’s something for everybody.

Smug ignorant repulsive socialist. It has absolutely nothing to do with her gender or race.
Moderatus, you cum-stained moron…..
I'm not exactly AOC's biggest fan but she has done more so far in her life than you can ever hope to achieve as you become more and more decrepit and start to resemble one of those dried-out Kleenixs littering your basement floor.
Fuck off, sore loser…….
Fluffy (once again on the government dole) has near-intimate knowledge of vast redistribution of wealth from the many to the few via someone close to him. He doesn’t mind that kind of socialism, the kind that’s goes to predominantly good white folk. He’s a glorious hypocrite with terrible clothes that make his ass look as big as his mouth.
Glad to see just about anyone who puts your modest culottes into such a twist . . .
(BTW, I’d have guessed you were one of the big, bigly, biglierest fans of smug, ignorant, and repulsive — given your Ttump fanboy status?
I guess it must be all about gender and race? . . .
. . . just wondering, what “race” do you
thinkbelieve AOC is, anyway, Moderatus?)The Socialist race, of course!
Poddy Mouth. Why would you advertise that you bought a cum-stained dress? Also, someone who buys a cum-stained dress has no business calling anybody names.
Especially when they are spending my tax dollars to decry elected officials, or give Trump a blow job. Oh, so that's how your blue dress got soiled.
“Smug ignorant repulsive socialist.”
Moderatus, for a reasonable fee I can teach you to write complete sentences. I'll require cash payment in full up front, of course.
I wish I were free to go to the event. I'd ask her to autograph my med school (in her district) sweatshirt.
I love AOC because she drives The Dumpster® more batshit.
She is also occupying space in Moderatus' empty head.
Lots of space available. Still leasing.
Seems like a good time for Albert to drop by:
