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.”

B*tch needs to be struck by a gigantic lightning bolt.....as a semi-tractor trailer runs her over.
I'd be almost certain that this law contradicts other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code protecting the confidentiality of taxpayer records.
Occasional Cortex is America’s hemmorhoid!
......14,000 vote total in a district with 8 percent election turnout. ROFLOL
Looking forward to her continual acts/words of stupidity and her eventual spectacular come-uppance.
Oh, they will. 10 different tax preparers wouldn’t agree on how to apply the thousands of rules. The President’s taxes are so complicated that there’s plenty of room for different “interpretations”.
She’s a nasty skank, and bordering on illiterate. Most will see way past the lipstick and boobs.
The other employees on her shifts when she was bartending claim SHE took all the tips.
I have always wondered what a layperson might conclude if they suddenly had access to Trump’s income tax returns. PDJT must have the world’s must complicated, convoluted, amortized, leveraged income in the world. I also think that PDJT must have been audited numerous times in his career, to the eventual satisfaction of the IRS. I imagine that the IRS auditors can barely make sense out of the returns.
Now, I perfectly understand underlying reasons behind the demand by Congressional Democrats for PDJT’s returns. Because they are indecipherable, they could provide an endless source of speculation and innuendo for the political grist mill. But in a rational world in which we do not live, PDJT’s tax returns are vetted to the ends of the earth prior to filing and as far as I am aware, whatever disputes he incurred with the IRS over the years have been resolved.
lets see all the demon rats taxes
“Geez this b!tch is annoying”
she’s like a six year old!
This from a woman who has THREE yes THREE FEC Complaints against her, but she knows NOTHING will happen to her, she knows she is above the law
But, they DID ask him, you moron.
She will be primaried, just as well, the GOP has enough campaign material from her for several election cycles.
She has done more for than the Repblican party than 98% of the Republican congress.
“Occasional Cortex is America’s hemmorhoid.”
More like a fissure, I would say.
The President should direct the IRS Commissioner to audit every member of Congress since the day they declared their initial candidacy. It would be very interesting to learn how so many relatively low-income people became millionaires by getting elected to Congress.
Expose every source of any income outside their congressional salaries. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Seems to me that maybe it’s high time for AOC to close her pie hole; at least in relation to other folks’ taxes & personal matters that are basically none of her business.
The nasty little tyrant AOC doesn't care.
Trump is her political enemy.
She wants Trump's tax returns NOW!!
This is what totalitarianism looks like.
This is true, but if it were a partnership, had pending contracts, and the other partner was another architect, and the firm continued under the other partner/architect, the survivors would be entitled to 50% of the profits. Which is why I said if it were a partnership, the most likely path would have been for the other partner to buy out the survivor's interest.
The name of AOC's father's company was "Kirschenbaum & Ocasio-Roman Architects, PC". Ocasio-Roman was her father's surname. He was the CEO and President. Alex Kirschenbaum was the Vice President. The firm was a certified minority business enterprise. The firm was likely organized as an LLC. They were a pretty significant firm based on this article:
Former Parkchester South architects sue board and CPC.
"Ocasio alleges that this statement led to a loss of reputation tor his firm. He said the firm has contracts with the city of Mt. Vernon to renovate 500 public housing apartments as well as a federal construction project of 80 units of senior housing op Melrose Ave. in the Bronx. Such contracts show his firm's familiarity with the work the condo expected him to do. "
They were suing for $15 million on a lost bid of $420,000. I assume there was a settlement. I doubt it was anywhere near $15M, a few hundred grand and legal fees is not unbelievable. Also a minority owned business suing over a lost bid has the power to scare others into accepting their bid.
I once met a former Air Force civil engineer that left the Air Force and started a firm bidding on the remodeling of Air Force enlisted dorms. He was a Latino, and his firm was certified as a minority owned business. He became a millionaire a a couple of years.
Alex Kirschenbaum apparently is still an architect today, under the business "Alex Kirschenbaum Architects". He likely would not qualify as a minority owned business. However, if the partnership ownership passed to AOC's mother, it should have maintained its minority status until that ownership interest was sold or dissolved.
I am really starting to doubt AOC's story. Nowhere does she claim her father's partner screwed her, her mom, and her brother. There is talk of pending foreclosure, etc., but nothing about the business. But nobody from the mainstream media apparently has thought to try to interview Kirschenbaum. This is so Obamaesque. And AOC is so defensive.
