Ocasio-Cortez Tries To Attack ‘GOP’ Lawmaker As Being Creepy, Backfires Big-Time

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tried to suggest a “GOP” lawmaker was being creepy for taking a picture next to a poster cutout of her and ended up being widely mocked for not realizing that the lawmaker was actually a Democrat.

The Kentucky Republican Party posted a picture of Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY) next to a cutout poster of Ocasio-Cortez in a tweet, writing: “#ThrowbackThursday last month the socialists threatened the lone #Kentucky #Democrat in Congress if he didn’t bend to their radical, extremist will: looks like @AOC and #socialism are calling the shots for @KyDems now!”

Ocasio-Cortez responded: “Nobody: [silence] GOP: Let’s pose our older male members next to cardboard cutouts of young female legislators.”

Just a few minutes before Ocasio-Cortez embarrassed herself on Twitter, she was attacking Republicans for “bad-faith attacking” her ideas, claiming that Republicans were behaving like “1st grade readers.”

Ocasio-Cortez was widely mocked for her not knowing who her Democrat colleagues in Congress were and eventually deleted the tweet.

“That’s John Yarmuth,” Nate Madden tweeted. “He’s your own party’s budget chair.”

“The old white guy in that picture isn’t a Republican,” Sean Davis tweeted. “He’s John Yarmouth, one of your Democrat congressional colleagues.”

Davis added: “Nobody: [silent] AOC: iM sMaRt i cAn hAnDLe tHiNgS”

“That’s actually the Kentucky delegation’s sole Democrat @RepJohnYarmuth — who was at the Democratic gubernatorial primary debate last night,” Lesley Clark tweeted.

Clark went on to point out that the situation for Ocasio-Cortez was even more embarrassing, considering the fact that she is a co-sponsor of legislation introduced by Yarmuth earlier this month — and Yarmuth is also a member of the Progressive Caucus.

“.@AOC is a co-sponsor of @RepJohnYarmuth legislation that would halt all new mountaintop coal removal mining permits until federal officials investigate potential health effects,” Clark wrote. “@RepJohnYarmuth is not only a Democrat, he’s a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, though he’s lately found himself whipsawed between leadership and the new crop of progressives.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s latest embarrassing moment on social media comes after she stated two weeks ago that she was cutting back on social media after she suggested that it was taking a toll on her.
