Since her upset primary victory in the summer of 2018, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has been a favorite target of Republicans due to her unabashed progressive agenda.

Whether it's her calls for an overhaul in climate change policy or guaranteeing medical care for any resident of the United States, virtually every Republican politician from the President on down has invoked the specter of so-called socialist policies from the congresswoman known colloquially as "AOC."


All too often, the smears they lob against her aren't even true.

Such was the case when Fox & Friends cohost Brian Kilmeade targeted Ocasio-Cortez in a now-deleted tweet.

The tweet falsely portrays AOC as writing:

"It's vital that Governors maintain restrictions on businesses until after the November Elections because economic recovery will help Trump be re-elected. A few business closures or job losses is a small price to pay to be free from his presidency. #KeepUsClosed"

The tweet was obviously false, and AOC even adressed it last month when it first began making the rounds.

She was none too happy about having to repeat herself for the likes of Kilmeade, and she called him out directly.

After deleting the tweet without comment, Kilmeade apologized, incorrectly referring to AOC as "Rep. Cortez."

People—including the congresswoman—continued to roast him.








It's unclear how many people saw the tweet before Kilmeade removed it.

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.
