While speaking at a MoveOn.org rally last week, newly sworn-in Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) used some...colorful language when reiterating her vow to impeach Donald Trump:

"We're gonna go in and impeach the motherf***er!"

Well, predictably, right-wing pearl-clutchers freaked out and went directly for the cameras, trying to make political hay.

But Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez found the GOP's response rather hypocritical, especially considering how they famously dismissed a certain presidential candidate's own vulgar words and even elected him president:

AOC Has Mic Drop Response To MAGA Republicans Who Try To Mock 'Democratic Priorities'

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
