AOC is not dumb. She is taking on the powers that have ruled us for over 200 years. She’s brilliant.

I undoubtedly saw that, since I watched consistently every night as my mom was washing the dishes and I was not eating my now cold vegetables. (I had already figured out by the age of seven that ultimately she cared more about washing ALL the dishes than she did about me eating my vegetables so I just had to wait her out.😀. However, you must not have been as fascinating as Patty Hearst because I have no recollection of your appearance.
I don't gamble either, but I partially put myself through college at the blackjack tables in Atlantic City.
Then again, I majored in statistics, and have a near-photographic memory, so it wasn't *exactly* gambling.
Hmmm, I'll bet they'd let me back in now, surely they've forgotten....
Hmmm.
Both Hawaii statues were sent there by the State of Hawaii. Which is only ~25% white. The Hawaiian state legislature seems to only have 22% white membership.
So, who was it who decided to send those statues?
Here is a list of the statues:

I counted just 7 women.
Hawaii's statues were installed in 1969. I do not know what the racial composition of their state legislature was at that time.
It is possible to change these since Michigan put Gerald Ford in during 2011.
Thanks for a very interesting link-- there are several new statues coming in, as I guess this editing process is ongoing, with Johnny Cash replacing James Paul Clarke and Amelia Earhart replacing John James Ingalls.
Fascinating.
As of 2018, women made up 28.9 percent of the Hawaii state legislature, and I believe AOC's comments were directed at the lack of representation of females in the statuary. So make sure to factor that in to your "breath of fresh air context."
