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.

Niecy Nash Hilariously Rips Colman Domingo For Over-The-Top Outfit He Wore To Officiate Her Wedding

A time-honored tradition of the North American wedding aesthetic is that the bride is the focal point of the wedding. Wearing all white and dazzling, she's meant to stand out from the rest of the crowd.

But if the wedding officiant shows up looking like a "beautiful bumblebee" fashionista, who do you think the audience will focus on? The officiant or the bride?
