Since winning her primary over incumbent congressman Joe Crowley, newly elected congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been a lightning rod for everything conservatives routinely vilify: she's young, she's Latina and she's an unashamed Democratic-Socialist with big ideas about progressive government.
Within days of unseating Crowley, Fox News was running segments on her as a de facto torchbearer of "extreme" left-wing policy, painting her as incredibly ignorant and naive.
Those characterizations haven't stopped since her arrival in Washington DC. On Twitter, Cortez couldn't help but point out the hypocrisy of critics painting her as uninformed.
On Tuesday, December 11, she threw some fire at congressional Republicans.
Twitter was right behind Cortez every step of the way!
It seems many Congresspeople are a bit ignorant to important issues.
The shade coming off of Cortez is very, very real.
This isn't the first time Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has clapped back at her detractors on Twitter!
It's hard not to notice the doubled standard a young woman faces in Congress as opposed to a young man.
It seems Ocasio-Cortez likes to relieve her stress by making clear the hypocrisies of Washington DC.
We say go for it, madam Congresswoman-elect!
