Far-left Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/aoc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</a> (D-NY) scrambled on Wednesday to defend herself after X CEO Elon Musk said the congresswoman is &#8220;just not that smart.&#8221;
The commentary was sparked after AOC criticized House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) over a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amid-shutdown-showdown-mccarthy-remains-popular-with-conservative-base" target="_blank" rel="noopener">looming</a> government shutdown.
&#8220;Boy math is needing 15 attempts to count the votes correctly to become Speaker and then shutting down the government 9 months later,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez posted to X, formerly known as Twitter.

Political commentator Ashley St. Clair chimed in to criticize AOC, writing, &#8220;Girl math is saying immigrants coming legally through Ellis Island is the same as 3 million undocumented migrants pouring through our border and costing NYC $1,000,000,000 to house migrants for free in hotels.&#8221;
Musk responded to St. Clair&#8217;s post about AOC, posting, &#8220;She’s just not that smart.&#8221;

AOC quickly boasted of her accomplishments in response. &#8220;I wasn’t born rich and became the youngest woman in American history to be elected to Congress,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;Then I investigated Cohen, authored the largest FEMA funeral assistance program in history and led creation of a US Climate Corps to create tens of thousands of new jobs. Stay mad.&#8221;

St. Clair snarked, &#8220;You grew up in the wealthy suburbs of Westchester County. Drop the Bronx shtick at the very least girly pop.&#8221;

The New York City representative has had numerous public battles with critics. Notably, back in 2022, when Ocasio-Cortez fled New York City for COVID lockdown-free Florida, she claimed her GOP critics actually just want to date her.
&#8220;If Republicans are mad they can&#8217;t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend&#8217;s feet. Ya creepy weirdos,&#8221; she wrote, referring to a photo of herself with her now-fiancé.
&#8220;It&#8217;s starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women, &amp; LGBT+ people in general,&#8221; AOC claimed.
&#8220;These people clearly need therapy, won&#8217;t do it, and use politics as their outlet instead. It&#8217;s really weird,&#8221; she added.

Similarly, back in 2018, AOC claimed Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro was &#8220;catcalling&#8221; her after he challenged her to a public debate for charity.
Commenting on a screenshot, AOC wrote, &#8220;Just like catcalling, I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions. And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one.&#8221;

&#8220;Discussion and debate are not &#8216;bad intentions,'&#8221; Shapiro shot back. &#8220;Slandering someone as a sexist catcaller without reason or evidence does demonstrate cowardice and bad intent, however.&#8221;
&#8220;But sure, go with &#8216;the Orthodox Jew who has never catcalled a woman in his life is ACKSHUALLY a sexist catcaller for asking for a discussion or debate,'&#8221; he added. &#8220;I’m sure your media sycophants will eat it up.&#8221;
