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 Networkℱ 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.

MAGA Actor Randy Quaid Hit With His Own Past Tweet After Claiming Texas Election Was 'Rigged'

Social media users were quick to shut down conservative actor Randy Quaid after he spoke out against the Texas midterm election results, insisting Democrats had "100% rigged" the election.

Texas Democrats swept every statewide race, winning the governorship and a U.S. Senate seat for the first time in decades. The election between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton in the race for the U.S. Senate was over before Election Day even hit because Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total.

Trump Blasted For Completely Out-Of-Touch Response To His Net Worth Going Up By Billions During His 2nd Term

President Donald Trump was widely criticized for his tone-deaf response after he was questioned by 60 Minutes correspondent Ross Douthat about the billions of dollars reportedly added to his net worth during his second term.

A recent Forbes report noted that Trump's “net worth went up by $3 billion” since he returned to office in January 2025. The publication's estimate says Trump’s net worth exploded from $3.9 billion in 2024 to $7 billion in 2026.

Trump Does About-Face To Push New Election Conspiracy Theory—And Here We Go Again

After previously appearing to accept the midterm election results, President Donald Trump did an about-face and declared in a post on Truth Social that they weren't "honest."

Last week, Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration. Trump had a noticeably muted reaction to the results but initially congratulated Democrats and pledged to work with them when new members of Congress are sworn in.
