Markey defers to Ocasio-Cortez!
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2019
In praise of talent—and gumption: Talent is always in short supply. Also in short supply?
Gumption.
We've been thrilled by the talent, but also by the remarkable gumption, of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Yesterday, we were appreciative of the way Senator Markey deferred to her in the public roll-out of the Green New Deal proposal.
Good for Markey, and good for Ocasio-Cortez, whose gumption has been inspiring. It isn't every day that this combination comes along. We'll only wave this one caution flag—celebrity can do vast harm.
We were glad to see Markey behave as he did. Gumption must be served!

Gumption
definitely. Talent? Ask yourself if you'd say she had talent if she
spoke the same content in the same valley girl manner, but weighed 400
lbs and looked like a female Michael Moore. It's OK, this kind of
misjudgment happens to all of us.
