Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, referred to herself as a “silly girl” Tuesday in response to President Trump’s scathing social media attack against the far-left lawmaker.
“Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me – I’m just a silly girl,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X, after Trump ridiculed her as “one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress.”
“Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war,” the “Squad” rep – dubbed “Stupid AOC” by the president – added.
The president fumed after Ocasio-Cortez had called for his impeachment Saturday, over his decision to bomb three nuclear facilities in Iran, which the congresswoman described as a “grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.”
“Instead of her constant complaining, Alexandria should go back home to Queens, where I was also brought up, and straighten out her filthy, disgusting, crime ridden streets, in the District she ‘represents,’ and which she never goes to anymore,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday morning.
He also appeared to refer to Ocasio-Cortez as “The Mouse” and suggested the congresswoman should be “forced” to take the same cognitive test he completed at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center as part of his annual physical.
In her response, Ocasio-Cortez argued that Trump has reneged on “almost every” campaign promise he made in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election.
“It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made,” the 35-year-old congresswoman wrote.
“Also, I’m a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully,” she added.
An attempt led by Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) to impeach Trump over the Iran strikes Tuesday failed in the House of Representatives, with a majority of House Dems voting with Republicans to shelve the effort.
Ocasio-Cortez voted against tabling the single article of impeachment, which accused the president of engaging in abuse of power by ordering the weekend strikes against Iran’s Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow facilities.
Trump, who survived two impeachment efforts during his first term, has dared Democrats seeking to do the same to him in his second administration to “MAKE MY DAY!”
