As one of the most progressive members of the House of Representatives, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) isn't afraid to bluntly relay her views.

Ocasio-Cortez—known colloquially as "AOC"—is a champion of environmental reform, medicare for all, and taxing the wealthy, so it's easy to see why she was displeased at revelations that President Donald Trump, who claims to be a billionaire, only paid $750 in taxes in 2016 and 2017.


The Congresswoman alluded to this in a recent Vanity Fair profile when she called for greater taxation of the wealthy in order to fund public goods.

She wasn't just unapologetic in her stance, but in the language she used to express it, saying:

"These are the same people saying we can't have tuition-free public colleges because there's no money, when these same motherf---ers are only paying $750 a year in taxes."

She shared the quote on her Twitter account with the caveat that she doesn't like to curse in public.

With Trump's rise to power, salty language has become commonplace in both Washington and on the campaign trail.

People applauded AOC's use of a certain four letter word to convey the frustration they felt as well.





People heaped praise on the New Yorker for not holding back.



After winning her primary this summer with over 70 percent of the vote, Ocasio-Cortez is almost certainly headed for a second term in Congress representing New York's solid blue 14th district.

A 'Fake Egg' Prank Targeting Kids Is Trending On TikTok—But Not Everyone Thinks It's Funny

In a recent TikTok trend, people are presenting young children with "fake eggs" and crushing the egg in their hands to show that the eggs are fake.

In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight

It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor.

That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

Guy Sparks Modern Dating Debate With His Unhinged Texts To Woman Who Turned Him Down For Second Date

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
