New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said a chant from President Donald Trump's supporters mocking her was emblematic of Trump finding a female politician to attack.
"You know this is part of a pattern that the right and the far-right and, frankly, the President is consistent with," Ocasio-Cortez told CNN in New York. "He doesn't have another woman, Hillary Clinton or whoever else, to vilify anymore so they need to find another woman to kind of prop up and become a lightning rod."
At a rally in Michigan on Thursday, members of the crowd could be heard chanting "AOC sucks" at the mention of her name by Donald Trump Jr.
The freshman Democrat has emerged as a major figure on the left and a recurring focus of criticism by conservatives, who regularly mention Ocasio-Cortez by name or target the "Green New Deal," a resolution she has championed to target climate change.
In her comments on Friday responding to the Trump rally, Ocasio-Cortez talked about bridging divides and said she had recently accepted an invitation from Kentucky GOP Rep. Andy Barr to visit coal mines in Kentucky.

Victim
Stalinist Sandy = The utter banality of evil and stupidity.
Trump only picks on the stupid. Praise for the smart
and hard working.
The AOC chant in MI was a spontaneous reaction by the audience. It shows that people are aware of her communist agenda and that she is a repulsive public figure. Yes, like Hillary.
AOC’s default reaction to criticism is that she is a victim of prejudice and not that the policies she pushes suck.
The NGD should be attacked at the root. There is no basis for predicting a climate crisis and no need to turn over the economy to communist saviors. I hope the Donald’s climate commission will put this to rest quickly.
He doesn't necessarily need a woman to vilify. Any dumbass will do, and AOC qualifies.
Poor baby! I suggest she grow a tougher hide. Actions have consequences. She started it; now she has to live with it. If she’s “grown up enough” to be a member of the U.S.Congress -— she’s NOT, maturity level wise -— she needs to act like the adult she’s doing a poor job of pretending to be. A little girl, playing a game, and not liking the rules.
If and when AOC grows up she can be the woman Trump might vilify.
Hey, Sandy-0;
We would vilify you and your stupid ideas and communist politics even if you were an old white man like Bernie, or a younger white man like Beto.
Trump didn’t speak those words nor start the chant. Why is she saying Trump needs a woman to vilify? she’s just twisting truth as usual so she’s always the victim.
So, she’s calling herself a female?????
One word. Sarah Palin/Michelle Bachman.
Some women need to be vilified.
Not a chance. There's no way any "believer" will change their mind based on anything Trump does, regardless of the credibility of a committee.
"Battling climate change" is a huge industry. Companies, non-profits, and individuals are making serious money in the name of climate change. Look at the jobs required to design, fabricate, and erect a wind generator. Careers are on the line.
Not only that but, sorry to say, Trump has failed to position the committee as objective. The left has painted it as "anti-science" and staffed with "deniers." It's predestined to have no impact.
yea she blows hard, not a against women thing, just she sucks
“Need to be careful around little kids so as to not traumatize them.”
traumatize replaced with triggered
AOC has already jumped the shark.
Her handlers should have waited about 3-4 month before 2020 to unleash her.
She would have still sucked but she might have created a real stir.
