Noise...

One of the first things you learn covering American politicians is that they’re not terribly bright.
They’re usually in office for one reason: someone with money sent them there, often to vote yes on a key appropriation bill or two.
On the other 364 days of the year, their job is to shut their yaps and approximate gravitas anytime they’re in range of C-SPAN cameras.
But some do talk all kinds of stuff.  

All of AOC’s supporters sent her to Washington precisely to make noise. There isn’t a cabal of key donors standing behind her, cringing every time she talks about the Pentagon budget.

She is there to be a pain in the ass, and it’s working. Virtually the entire spectrum of Washington officialdom has responded to her with horror and anguish.
