AOC Perfectly Shames Trump Aide After He Insults Her During His Cringey Interview

After Trump's border czar Tom Homan awkwardly stammered through an interview insulting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's intelligence, AOC clapped back with a brutal truth about MAGA bullies.

During a Presidents' Day interview on right-wing network Newsmax, Republican President Donald Trump's border czar used a common MAGA insult to attack New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Tom Homan was Trump's acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director from 2017-2018. Now the newly-annointed Trump administration "border czar," Homan has been attacking Representative Ocasio-Cortez—a.k.a. AOC—in multiple interviews.


Homan's new position as border czar is akin to Trump's White House aides, advisors, and DOGE squad—not vetted, not granted security clearance, nor confirmed by Congress.

On Monday, Homan told Newsmax host Rob Finnerty:

"Look, she's–she's–she's the dumbest Congresswoman ever elected to Congress and she proves that every day."

You can see the segment here:

Homan's interview was criticized over his slurred speech and erratic cadence, stumbling over his words.

After calling Representative AOC the dumbest, Homan continued:

"And look, bottom line is, I can't believe any memmer–any member of Congress—Republican, Democrat, Independent—would want to educate criminal illegal aliens who are in the country illegally, been convicted of violent crime and have been ordered removed by an immigration judge after due process at great taxpayer expense."
"You got a Congressman—or Congresswoman—that does–does not want ICE to do the job that Congress has mandated them to do and funds them to do!"

Homan took exception to the New York Democrat hosting webinars and livestreams to educate people on their legal rights under the United States Constitution and existing federal laws.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Like most of Trump's acolytes, Homan seems to believe Trump's executive orders negate both the Constitution and laws. Homan has stated that he asked the Department of Justice to investigate the Democratic firebrand for sharing public information with the public.

Not willing to endure Homan's attacks silently, Representative AOC took to social media with her response.

She wrote on several platforms—including Elon Musk’s X:

"This is why you fight these cowards."
"The moment you stand up to them, they crumble."
"Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights."
"He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else."

People concurred with Representative AOC's characterization of the MAGA minion's attacks against her.

Has he met MTG or Lauren Boebert? There's at *least* 75 IQ points difference between AOC and those two clowns
— Pragmatic Politic (@pragmaticpolitic.bsky.social) February 17, 2025 at 8:52 PM


Uh, no. Not by a long shot. There's at least a dozen Republicans that have "the dumbest" honor well wrapped up. At least three or four of those are women.

Smart women of color are their kryptonite. Proves their entire thesis is simply bigotry.

Oh, and so the lumpy naked mole-rat lapdog of the shriveled orange orangutan is now the expert on intelligence? Lovely.

When they've got nothing they go for the ad hominem attacks. Pathetic. You know you're doing something right when you've got their backs up like you do. Keep going, Congresswoman.

He is using AOC as an excuse for not hitting his number of expected deportations.

Tom Homan is a sad human being and when he speaks he is almost unintelligible.

Typical verbal assault from a misogynistic piece of shit. Someone should tell Homan to stop cosplaying Elmer Fudd.

I've heard grammar school kids express themselves better. He sounds like he just crawled off a barstool.

Representative AOC was equally vocal when responding to Homan saying he wanted her investigated.

She posted on multiple platforms:

"'MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw'”
"Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start"

As well as:

"Go ahead."
"Let the people see you for what you are."
Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

If Homan is expecting to intimidate the Latina Congresswoman into silence, he's not been paying attention.

Representative Ocasio-Cortez has a well established record of not suffering fools gladly. Homan will fare no better.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
