    This sounds stupid, but I'm inclined not to make too much of this one; it's more of a Bushism. She has the general concept that the amendment was a reaction to FDR's overlong tenure, which it was. Hazard of imprecise public speaking. Not everyone's a historian.https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1112146790860668928 …

    Tom Elliott @tomselliott
    According to AOC, Congress amended the Constitution to prevent FDR from being re-elected: "They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt dd not get reelected." (Reminder, FDR died in office in 1945; the 22nd Amendment came in 1947) pic.twitter.com/DImHj0caVy

        I know no Republican would get mercy from the heirs of Jon Stewart for this kind of thing, but its incidence is actually not proof that you are smarter than the other party.

        OK--so it's not as bad as "unemployment is low because people are working 2 jobs". But it's still a classic.

        She can be dumb and imprecise. Those are incompatible things.

        Agreed. She is imprecise, but she knows something about Roosevelt and term limits. It meets the bare minimum for a coherent thought.

        Replying to @baseballcrank

        Though she’s saying this as part of an argument that New Deal progressivism was so popular that Republicans had to change the rules to stop it, which is just wrong. The GOP took back the Senate before the amendment was passed...

        ...so it wasn’t “term limits to stop the New Deal”, it was “term limits to stop any hypothetical future overpopulation president of either party”.

        Any other President, and I’d be inclined to agree, but FDR is the Democrats’ holiest figure, and anyone with even a bare grasp of 20th century history should know he died in office.

        Not a Bushism. Bush mispronounced words or made up new ones. He didn’t get history wrong. And you imply she just misspoke, when it’s pretty clear she doesn’t really know the history. Getting close doesn’t count. (Horseshoes and hand grenades are excepted, of course.)
