Ocasio-Cortez Slams Fox News Guest Who Called Her a 'Little Girl'

From the article:

Republican political strategist and campaign consultant Ed Rollins was on the Fox Business News program hosted by Lou Dobbs and stuck his sexist foot in his mouth as he attacked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). The ancient right-wing operative dismissively referred to the 29-year-old Congresswoman as “the little girl” with a big “mouth.” It didn’t take long for the brilliant Ocasio-Cortez to fire back with a zinger that may go down in history as one of the all-time great comebacks.

In her response on Twitter she called Rollins a “walking argument” for a 100 percent tax on misogyny.

Calling an adult woman a little girl? Interesting how this type of demeaning language is such a big part of the GOP.

Which is why Ryan couldn't hang with them anymore. I have it on good authority that Cocaine Mitch took Ryan aside and had a serious talk with him, instructing him not to return for another forty years at least, not until he was a doddering fool who could dribble spittle out of the corners of his mouth like the rest of them.

Even if she is what you claim (which I do not accept for one minute to be true) She is still an elected member of the US House of Representatives and You are Not.

Nice Try there. Would You Like To Spin Again or Buy A Vowel?????

And he was being deliberately insulting. And, carrying on the proud GOP tradition of attacking non-whites and females.

But she can’t spend all her time reacting to assholes.

Sooner or later she will have to ignore them.

One assumes that she will learn to pick out the most prominent and react to them.

President Obama tried to ignore the GOP lies, but that inly works for informed voters. And many GOP and Independents are sadly uninformed.
