Oh No! Ron DeSantis Uses the Dreaded G-word

Congressman Ron DeSantis is running for governor of Florida as a Republican.  At a campaign event, he was asked about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes, the 29 year old Socialist who won the Democrat primary for Congress in an upset in a seat in New York City.  In answering the question, DeSantis referred to her as "this girl".  Oh, the horror!  How could DeSantis be so insensitive.  In the politically correct world of the left, no one can call one of them a "girl".

Think about it.  It's okay for countless Democrats and media people to call the President a "Nazi" or "Hitler" or a "fascist".  It's fine for them to call Vice president Pence "mentally ill" or "deranged" or a "pedophile".  It's okay for them to call for the execution or other killing of Trump and many other Republicans.  It's no problem for Whoopi Goldberg to call a Republican woman a "bitch".  It's fine for various leftists to call the First Lady a "c--t".  And nearly every Republican has been called a "racist" or a "sexist" or a "homophobe" or an "anti-Semite".  But DeSantis called Ocasio-Cortes a "girl".  How could he be so insensitive!

Basically what DeSantis actually said is that Ocasio Cortes doesn't have a clue what she's talking about.  In the last two weeks, she's talked about working to flip seats "red".  (Of course that means taking Democrat seats and making the Republican, something that she really is NOT trying to do.)  She's also been forced to admit that she doesn't understand how the unemployment rate is computed.  She also admitted that she doesn't know enough about the Middle East to speak accurately regarding the Arab-Israeli dispute.  There's more, but there's no question with just these few that Ocasio Cortes is either poorly educated or a total moron.  I assume it's ok to call her an ignoramus so long as I don't call her a girl.

So, readers, do you have a view why "girl" is so offensive that the media is horrified (or pretends to be so?)
