Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Thursday fired back at Republicans who booed her for voting to elect Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as the 52nd Speaker of the House.

Pelosi claimed the speakership for the second time, defeating California Republican Kevin McCarthy 220-192.

Ocasio-Cortez, 29, was the only member of Congress to receive jeers from the opposing party. She has drawn national attention since her upset primary victory over Joe Crowley, formerly the 4th most powerful Democrat in the House, last year.

"Over 200 members voted for Nancy Pelosi today, yet the GOP only booed one: me," Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter following the vote. "Don’t hate me cause you ain’t me, fellas."

Perfection.

Twitter exploded with support for the youngest member of Congress.

Republicans clearly fear her star power and unapologetic progressive populism.

Sorry boys, she is just getting started.

As she made her way through the Capitol to be sworn in, Ocasio-Cortez was warmly greeted by Capitol employees.

Healthcare Workers Share The Common Medical Myths That Drive Them Crazy

It's safe to say the majority of people have a somewhat romanticized view of medicine, largely owing to soap operas or prime time medical dramas.

Nicki Minaj Awkwardly Calls JD Vance An 'Assassin' While Speaking To Erika Kirk—And Nicki's Reaction Is All Of Us

Rapper Nicki Minaj had quite the awkward moment at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest over the weekend after she attempted to compliment Vice President JD Vance by calling him an "assassin" before realizing her error.
