Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a shot at President Trump’s response to Monday’s congressional request for his tax returns, tweeting “we didn’t ask you.”
The twitter jab from the freshman congresswoman came hours after the House Ways and Means Committee asked the IRS to release Trump’s 2013 through 2018 tax returns.
When Trump was later asked about the formal congressional request, he told reporters, “until such time as I’m not under audit, I would not be inclined to do it.”
Ocasio-Cortez mockingly recapped the exchange on Twitter.
“Congress: ‘We’re going to need a copy of the President’s tax returns from 2013-2018,’” read the first part of her tweet.
“No, I’m ‘under audit,” she then wrote, reenacting Trump’s reply.
She finished the tweet with a reminder to Trump, saying “we didn’t ask you.”

Except Trump didn’t respond to Congress. He responded to a question about his tax returns that was asked by a reporter.
There is no reason to ask.
There is no reason to comply.
They should go jump in a lake.
Maybe POTUS could suggest to the IRS that her records might need some closer scrutiny, based on some of the recent allegations about campaign finance irregularities for AOC.
Let us know when you pay your own back taxes you buck toothed cow fart
Isn’t Sandy still in arrears with the tax man? I thought I had read that somewhere. Did she declare her stolen money from the tip jar? Inquiring minds want to know.
Geez this b!tch is annoying
Lots and lots of money was raised from political action committees controlled by Ocasio-Cortez
and her campaign manager----Saikat Chakrabarti----now her congressional COS.
After she was elected, Chakrabarti then established one or more LLC's----a for-profit company that does not require reporting its finances. Apparently with all the scrutiny Chakrabarti has since closed his company doors.
Chakrabarti may have closed down the LLC....but are the company's bank accounts still open?
B/c the LLC bank accounts were used to convert campaign donations to spending money for AOC and her handlers. (more below)
Why not?
Ohaha set the precedent that the IRS can be used as a weapon against political enemies.
The higher she climbs, the harder the fall!
========================================
The FEC complaint asserts that AOC's COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, early on established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC's campaign:
<><> the "Brand New Congress PAC,"
<><> the "Justice Democrats PAC."
After mucho money was raised, Chakrabarti systematically transferred $885,000+ in PAC contributions to his private companies with similar names:
<><> the "Brand New Campaign LLC,"
<><> the " Brand New Congress LLC."
Saikat Chakrabarti's LLC's (private companies), unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.
NOTE WELL: it's a much-used criminal act to enrich oneself, to open bank accounts using similarly named
entities to siphon off money, to hide it from partners, associates, investors, etc.
SIPHONINGS A CINCH It's easy to siphon off money for oneself by putting checks into the new accounts with similar names, depositing checks that were made out to
the original entity. Even your bank advises that if a check-writer "mis-spelled" your name, to just endorse the check with the correct name.
AND PRESTO: a check made out to Brand New Congress PAC, is deposited in the Brand New Congress LLC account.
Hillary Clinton was “America’s Ex-Wife.” AOC is still young enough to be “America’s Ex-Girlfriend.”
This is what you get when you teach “self esteem” instead of knowledge and/or critical thinking skills in schools.
Incredibly stupid people, with astonishing self-confidence.
There are few things as dangerous as that combination.
Personally, I think she’s funny. I like watching those youtube videos where she talks like she thinks she’s all important and stuff.
She was elected by a 12,000 vote turnout. She’s famous because she’s so entertainingly dumb.
Personally, I love it.
On a side note, about two weeks ago, for the first time I saw a photo of her beyond just a head shot. I’m starting to get it...
What an arrogant little bich twit. She’s definitely the lady of the flies.
I would say the Party (Nancy) is sooooo quiet and she’s gonna be gone soon.....real soon.
AOC doing her Richard Nixon impression?
“Isn’t Sandy still in arrears with the tax man?”
So’s Al Sharpton.
I understand we haven’t taken back the IRS yet.
Big Media and the Rats just keep doubling down.
It’s hammer time anytime now, Mr. President....
Hillary did!!
Maybe President Trump can get Obama to use the IRS as a weapon against AOC and her commie handler?
Part of a plea bargin deal?
