Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany Just Referred To AOC As 'Biden Adviser'—And AOC Clapped Back Hard

.@PressSec wouldn't be the first person to mistake a women of color for having a lower position or title than she does, but Kayleigh - in case you haven't picked up a newspaper in two years, I'm a Congresswoman. https://t.co/3FRHo7dpTL

The @PressSec comment is steeped in a long, hurtful, & horrendous history of stripping women of color of titles and diminishing them to “the help."

Perhaps she isn't aware that what she did is mired in racist history. If that is the case, I look forward to her apology tomorrow.

Read your own transcript, you literally called her an adviser in the same sentence, I've highlighted it below to help you out. pic.twitter.com/iAa131C4W3

I'll take AOC over McEnany any day of the week.

I made mistake of reading some of the comments. Wow, there are some horrifically mean, racist misogynistic people here. @pressSec you encourage these people. Sorry @AOC for what you are subjected to. Your terrific work speaks for itself.

As always, do not come for @AOC if she did not call for you. Best you learn this, Kayleigh.

We love you Representative @AOC !

@PressSec is a racist, this is known.

Reading the comments here, the MAGA crowd are really running scared. You keep on doing what you're doing - you're doing great!

There's so much disagreement because folks are so used to the norm of not respectfully acknowledging the titles of POC.

I'd love to see @PressSec apologize but the best her type can manage is “I'm sorry you felt....."
— Joe (@DadOfDoggos) June 8, 2020

She won't apologize. That would require self-reflection, which she is incapable of.
— Dodes (@racheld) June 8, 2020

People without a conscience don't apologize, they double down. I would expect nothing less of @PressSec based on her desire to continue defending her boss.
