Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says people on Capitol Hill keep mistaking her for an intern
See BS ^ | 11/15/18 | CHRISTOPHER BRITO

At 29 years old, U.S. Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be the youngest woman ever in Congress, but her first few days as an elected official have come with challenges — some of which have nothing to do with politics. As Capitol Hill holds orientation meetings this week, the incoming congresswoman said on Twitter that people keep mistaking her for an intern or someone's spouse.

**SNIP**

"People keep giving me directions to the spouse and intern events instead of the ones for members of Congress," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Wednesday.

When a critic pointed out there were no scheduled intern events that day, she offered a sharp response.

"Last night I was stopped bc it was assumed I was an intern/staffer," she tweeted back. "Next time try believing women + people of color when they talk about their experiences being a woman or person of color."

Bill Clinton has exhibited intense interest in this topic.

Not to mention that you’d have to be living in a cave with no tv/internet to not know who she is.

It’s understandable, since her “wisdom” is almost that of an intern and she sounds like one.

GOPster, I had to stop reading your playbook at Chapter 26... the studded snowtires, 55 gallon drum of Jello, and Boeing 747-size, umm, - never mind - was just a bit over the top ... :^)

If you did bang her, she’d only steal your wallet while you were sleeping. That’s just how Stalinist Sandy rolls.

That's a ridiculous claim, she doesn't have enough brains to be an intern. Ms. Sockpuppet goes to Washington.

I have heard several times that “The Little Communist” has a “partner.” What does it mean “partner?” Male? Female? Marriage?
