Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday ripped into Fox News over Sean Hannity's obsession with her, prompting The Daily Show to join in the fun.

Hannity tried to come for Ocasio-Cortez after her policy advisor Dan Riffle changed his Twitter handle to "Every Billionaire is a Policy Failure."

Ocasio-Cortez said Tuesday she supports a 70 percent marginal tax on incomes over $10 million and has railed against the American economic system which allows a few people to amass vast fortunes while millions live in poverty.

“I do think that a system that allows billionaires to exist when there are parts of Alabama where people are still getting ringworm because they don’t have access to public health is wrong," Ocasio-Cortez told journalist and author Ta-Nehisi Coates. “I don’t think that necessarily means that all billionaires are immoral. It is not to say that someone like Bill Gates, for example, or Warren Buffett, are immoral people," she added, later clarifying she was referring to "hookworm."

Thus after Hannity tried to spin Ocasio-Cortez's message as anti-American, the Congresswoman clapped right back on Twitter, true to form.

Ocasio-Cortez asked three questions of Fox:

"I also love that such an Official TV News Network™ called him “policy guy” as his official title," the Congresswoman wrote. "What are they trying to do, compete with the Daily Show? Or is Fox News actually just elaborate, postmodern performance art? Have we been misreading it this whole time??"

The Daily Show replied: "We'll never be as funny tho."

So did the Mediaite writer who referred to Riffle as the "policy guy."

Twitter ate it up.

Some thought that "performance art" was too nice of a term for Fox, and so an alternative was proposed.

Propaganda is more like it.

Fox brings the mockery upon itself.

Earlier Wednesday, The Daily Show joked that Hannity would invite President Donald Trump to give the State of the Union address from his house. Trump caved to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) demand that he postpone his annual address until the government shutdown, now on its 34th day, ends.

Hannity ended up doing exactly that.

Wow.

Lindsey Graham's Sister Hit With Hilariously Brutal Factcheck After Claiming She's 'Not Being Handed' His Senate Seat

Darline Graham, the sister of late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, was swiftly fact-checked after claiming that she's "not being handed" her brother's seat even though she quite literally was named to temporarily fill it.

Senator Graham died on the evening of July 11 after returning from an official visit to Ukraine. According to a preliminary finding from the medical examiner, shared by his office, Graham died after suffering an aortic dissection—a tear in the inner wall of the aorta—linked to hardening of the arteries.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.
