Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is already making enemies in the House Democratic Caucus — and some of its members are mounting an operation to bring the anti-establishment, democratic socialist with 2.2 million Twitter followers into the fold.

Not all of her ‘twitter devotees’ are there because they think she hung the moon. Many are there for the sheer entertainment value.
They’re stuck with her for the next two years. I’m sure they are already looking for somebody to run against her in 2020.

...Ocasio-Cortez didn’t get a seat on the powerful tax writing House Ways and Means Committee she wanted
... Rashida Tlaib made a play for Appropriations, but she too was passed over.

Hasn't it been established she was born in up-scale Westchester County, not the Bronx?
Keep her well supplied with coloring books.
