Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) fired back at former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) on Saturday after the outgoing senator criticized the freshman New York lawmaker for her embrace of the Democratic Party's left wing.
In a series of tweets, Ocasio-Cortez called McCaskill's rhetoric "pretty disappointing" and pointed out that progressive initiatives including a minimum wage increase won on the ballot in Missouri in November while McCaskill, a more conservative Democrat, lost.
"Not sure why fmr Sen. McCaskill keeps going on TV to call me a thing and shiny object, but its pretty disappointing," Ocasio-Cortez wrote Saturday.

Should that read LESS LIBERAL Democrats??? When that iron is hot is the time to start the 3rd party in earnest and let the LEFTLIBs and RINOs 'kill' each other off.
... and this numbskull is probably 50 IQ points ahead of at least
90 percent of the Democraps in Congress ...
valley girl air head doesn’t begin to tell the story of this ditZ.
Exactly!
I don't think she's stupid. She's unpolished. I don't think anyone who can get themselves elected to Congress is stupid.
Ms. Cortez, I think, might commit suicide in the next year. With 3 gunshots in the back of her head...
I don’t understand it, either. She’s not shiny but very dim.
They are called RINOs....
"Donkeycrat."
That is just GOOD...stealing it.
AOC, in her mind, is never wrong. Showing her inner Stalin.
I think Pres. Trump should be nice to AOC and invite her to the White House for a high-visibility meeting.

Good thought but I believe she would absolutely not meet with him. She is Alinsky/Marx all the way. Her sycophant followers would scream sellout and she would lose credibility. She is the “resister” in chief. If DJT made an overture to her she would immediately attack him as racist, sexist, homophobe who is too evil to meet with and is not the legitimate President
It’s a woman on woman fight Cortez can’t spread her leg out of that argument.
The way I see it, Congressman Johnson may not have a third grader's understanding of basic geology but he does know how to get thousands upon thousands of voters to continue sending him to a cushy, high-paying job with awesome bennies in Washington DC term after term.
I don't care what anyone says, that takes smarts.
Well, I suppose we will have to agree to disagree on the metrics of what constitutes intelligence. I don’t personally count the ability to hoodwink more stupid people into voting for you as intelligence. It may be hard work as I credited Ocasio Cortez with in my first post, but it is not intelligence.
In this country it seems we cannot agree on anything anymore. We used to be able to agree on what intelligence was, a basic universal standard. However, it seems we cannot even agree on that!! Congressman Johnson as well as Ocasio-Cortez by their statements have shown to be at best ignorant and most likely just plain stupid but it seems that we are not using the same ruler as a measurement.
It would be good to remember that the USA has always tended center-right. Reactionaries of either stripe end up doing poorly in the end.
