Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has struck back at Republican senate candidate JD Vance, who had referred to her and other progressive politicians as “a bunch of childless cat ladies.”

Mr Vance suggested on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show that “if we want a healthy ruling class in this country,” Americans should vote for more politicians with children.

On Friday, AOC clapped back.

“When you accidentally let your billionaire funder-talk slip out on TV, you say things like ‘a healthy ruling class,’” the congresswoman tweeted.
