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."

One word (re: Occasional-Cortex): Medusa
Funniest post I’ve read in a month.
Botox Nancy needs to give Cortez a participation trophy and send her home. What a total poster child for a millennial snowflake this dufus is.
Thank you, LS!
I am a freak. I have never denied it. I embrace it.
Compared to the usual RAT, shes hot.
I saw a pic of her in a dress...shes built.
No surprise...
My man...
Like Id actually sleep with that Communist cretin.
Id be out the door/window/fire escape ASAFP.
She was likely useful in her barkeep days. If she could make a decent classic martini, then the world is a dimmer place with her in the Congress. With Kennedy dead, her barkeep skills will go wholly unappreciated.
Frankly, I think shes going to get a lot of unthanked help to make her look as competent as possible for the good of her party. Shell make plenty of rookie mistakes for awhile. Similarly-minded folks, for example, worked to transform Michelle into Oprah 2.0.
She is he first AI not elected to Congress. She spews put her lines like a good programmed commie.
What a whiny little tart
Folks offering to help her elicits such a chip on her olive shoulders
Empleada
i am surprised she is not simply ignored as a fool would be
