Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Expertly Dismisses Kellyanne Conway Insult
Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has once again refused to ignore Republican insults.
During an appearance on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” on Tuesday, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway dubbed the incoming progressive lawmaker as “a 29-year-old congresswoman who doesn’t seem to know much about anything.”
Ocasio-Cortez hit back with this tweet:
Kellyanne Conway has been engaged in a War on Facts since Inauguration Day.
Leveraging those who belittle my capacity is exactly how I defeated a multi-generation, multi-million $ political machine. GOP is even weaker bc their bias has no self-control.https://t.co/QHA66XqInY— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) December 12, 2018
Soon after Trump was sworn into office, Conway infamously equated falsehoods with “alternative facts” during an interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd.
When Ocasio-Cortez was attacked by multiple Republicans, including Donald Trump Jr. and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, she responded with this tweet mocking Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa).
Republicans: “She doesn’t know what she’s talking about!”

Ocasio-Cortez also tweeted this response to speculation about a presidential run:
How about... no.
Sometimes political media is too fixated on personalities instead of policies.
The whole country JUST went through an exhausting midterm election. We need a break.
Can we instead talk about healthcare, a living wage, legalizing cannabis, GND, & other issues? https://t.co/JoiNmsgNTH— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) December 13, 2018
