As the Schumer Shutdown drags on, the woman rumored to be eyeing a 2028 primary challenge against the embattled Senate Minority Leader has been busy making a spectacle of herself. Instead of offering serious leadership or solutions, she’s been stirring up drama and indulging in the kind of obnoxious political antics that perfectly sum up the modern Democratic Party — all noise, no results.
Like most Democrats, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) can’t stand White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller — especially as he’s spent the past few weeks calling out activist left-wing judges who keep trying to block President Trump’s agenda from the bench.
But instead of engaging with Miller’s arguments, AOC did what she always does: went for a cheap personal jab. On Sunday, she hopped on Instagram to mock Miller for being “short,” claiming that poking fun at what she called “insecure masculinity” was a way to put the right in its place.
“I’ve never seen that guy in real life, but he looks like he’s, like, 4’10. And he looks like he is angry about the fact that he’s 4’10. And he looks like he is so mad that he is 4’10 that he’s taken that anger out at any other population possible,” the “Squad” leader claimed.
Miller brushed off the jab during a Monday appearance on The Ingraham Angle, laughing at the insult and pointing out that he’s actually 5’10” — not exactly “short” by anyone’s standards. But instead of letting it go, AOC doubled down, feigning outrage that Fox News had the nerve to show Miller the clip of her mocking him in the first place. “I’m crying,” she posted to X.
But in a twist of poetic justice, AOC’s cheap shot didn’t just draw ridicule from conservatives — it blew up in her own face. Her leftist followers turned on her, accusing the self-proclaimed champion of inclusivity of, yes, body-shaming Stephen Miller and “short people” everywhere.
Cornered by her own outrage mob, AOC tried to clean up the mess on Tuesday with one of the most ridiculous spin attempts in recent memory, insisting she wasn’t talking about Miller’s physical height but his “spiritual height.” You can’t make this stuff up — when the woke mob eats its own, it’s always a sight to behold:
“I want to express my love for the short king community,” she claimed, attempting to clarify her comments. “I don’t believe in body shaming. I am talking about how big or small someone is on the inside.”
The Congresswoman went on to explain that her original statement was intended as a bizarre metaphor for character, pivoting to an even more confusing concept she termed “spiritual height.”
“Like, for example, I have no idea how tall Andrew Tate is. No idea at all. But that guy looks to me like 5’3. Whereas, physically, men of smaller stature can come across — they are spiritually six-foot,” she added. “If you’re a good dad, if you stand with women, if you’re not belittling immigrants, you’re like 6’3 spiritually.”
What makes this especially amusing is that this chick has previously criticized people over allegedly “policing” her body, alleging in 2021, after her “Tax the Rich” dress controversy, that “I and my body have been so heavily and relentlessly policed from all corners politically since the moment I won my election.”
As always with Democrats, it’s (D)ifferent when they do it. The rules never seem to apply to them — until, of course, they do. And in AOC’s case, watching the woke outrage she helped create come full circle was pure poetic justice. You couldn’t script a better example of the left’s hypocrisy if you tried.
