Ocasio-Cortez fires back at Trump Jr: Keep trolling, we have subpoena power next year

Democratic Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) fired back at Donald Trump Jr. on Friday after the president’s eldest son shared a meme implying that her democratic socialist views would lead to Americans eating dogs.

“I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up,” Ocasio-Cortez said on Twitter. “Please, keep it coming Jr - it’s definitely a ‘very, very large brain’ idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month.”

“Have fun!” she added.

Her tweet was in response to a two-paneled meme shared by Trump Jr. on Instagram on Thursday. The top photo of the meme showed an image of Ocasio-Cortez along with the text: “Why are you so afraid of a socialist economy?”

The second photo featured in the meme shows President Trump and a blunt answer: “Because Americans want to walk their dogs, not eat them.”

Trump Jr. captioned the meme that he shared with 1.5 million Instagram followers, saying: “It’s funny cuz it’s true!!!" The post has since garnered more than 66,000 likes and more than 2,500 comments as of Friday afternoon.

Since pulling off this one of this year’s biggest upsets during primary season when she unseated Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.), Ocasio-Cortez has become a top target for many conservative pundits and lawmakers for her policy proposals and democratic socialist views.

The 29-year-old Democrat asked on Twitter on Sunday why she has already come under fire by so many top Republicans despite having yet to take office officially.

"I’m not even sworn in yet. Don’t y’all have jobs to do?" she tweeted on Sunday.

Such a threat is probably against the law. Maybe she won’t make it to Congress after all.

ML/NJ

She’s in for a rude awakening when she discovers Congress doesn’t work like her little millennial mean girls club from high school.

What do you mean? Of course it does.

Hard to believe...who in the right mind would either hire her as an intern, or more unbelievably, marry her?

This little dingbat just threatened someone with potential abuse of power. This is not some banana third world hell hole, Ms Cortez, try this, “we the people” that is who you work for.

So, the threats start already. Maybe she could take it a step further and have her fellow Democrat Eric Swalwell nuke her perceived enemies.

This is how people who grew up in Westchester think people who grew up in the Bronx talk.

Exactly.

This is what they've all been talking about in dark, smoke-free rooms.

But they likely wanted to keep officially quiet; for now.

“Is she American?”

Nope. The island she came from should have been given its independence or returned to Spain.

Nothing American about her. So what’s she doing in our Congress? She should be Maduro’s propaganda minister.
