‘I’m just a silly girl’: AOC fires back after Trump calls her ‘stupid’.
President Donald Trump dares the progressive ‘Squad’ member to ‘make my day’ as Democrats’ impeachment efforts fail in House vote.
Progressive New York Democrat, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, fired back at President Donald Trump’sTruth Social rampage on Tuesday after the two traded barbs following Saturday night’s U.S. strikes on Iran.
“Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me – I’m just a silly girl,” Ocasio-Cortez responded Tuesday after the president dubbed her “Stupid AOC.”
“Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war,” she said.
Ocasio-Cortez emerged as one of Trump’s fiercest congressional critics after the U.S. attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran on Saturday night. While Democrats raged against Trump, calling his actions unconstitutional, Ocasio-Cortez went as far as to call for his impeachment.
“It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made,” the 35-year-old Democratic socialist, who is considered a potential 2028 presidential candidate, said Tuesday, before adding, “Also, I’m a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully.”
She was responding to a lengthy post from the president in which he referred to her as “Stupid AOC” and “one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress.”
