Uh, oh. Haven't we all recently learned how NOT to tick off the press?

OCASIO-CORTEZ SHOOTS DOWN REPORTER WHO TOOK ISSUE WITH HER CLOTHES: 'MISOGYNY WITHOUT AN APOLOGY?'
https://www.newsweek.com/ocasio-cortez-shoots-down-reporter-who-took-issue-her-clothes-misogyny-1218682

“If I walked into Congress wearing a sack, they would laugh & take a picture of my backside,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter in response to Scarry’s tweet.

“If I walk in with my best sale-rack clothes, they laugh & take a picture of my backside. Dark hates light - that’s why you tune it out. Shine bright & keep it pushing.”

After the tweet was deleted following a deluge of criticism, Ocasio-Cortez wrote: “Oh, does @eScarry think he can delete his misogyny without an apology? I don’t think so. You’re a journalist - readers should know your bias.”

...they would laugh & take a picture of my backside.

That's why you won the nomination - it's what veteran Democrats like to do with their young blood. :)

“If I walked into Congress wearing a sack, they would laugh & take a picture of my backside,”

What backside? You’re a stick.

She has a point — except that I don’t remember ANY male member of congress ever mis-claiming they were poor, and then showing up on the cover of a magazine in a designer dress. (which it turns out she didn’t own, the magazine provided it to make her look more presentable).

I have no doubt that if some guy claimed he couldn’t afford a suit, and was then shown in a suit, that the entire left media would make it a top news story.

“...they laugh & take a picture of my backside.”

DOES NOT juxtapose well with, “Shine bright & keep it pushing.”

Just sayin’...
