Apparently, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) did not take kindly to Trump telling the Twitterverse that he and AOC agree he has a very good chance of winning the 2020 presidential election.
Late Sunday night, AOC sent a response to Trump, hitting him with a few jabs as well as telling him that she wants him impeached…
Mr. President, you’re from Queens.
You may fool the rest of the country, but I’ll call your bluff any day of the week.
Opening an impeachment inquiry is exactly what we must do when the President obstructs justice, advises witnesses to ignore legal subpoenas, & more.

Big Interview
The initial back-and-forth got started when AOC’s first major interview aired on Sunday.
The 29-year-old congresswoman sat down for a lengthy interview on “This Week” to offer some insight to both the current campaign and her platform.
AOC stated that unless the Democrat party put up a candidate that showed a significant move away from what Dems have thrown out there over the years, she believed there was a very real chance Trump would win the election.
So, of course, Trump agreed with her.
He also took a shot at AOC and the party over the constant calls for impeachment.
Her answer, as you saw, was to once again threaten the President with impeachment.
Turning on Joe
The big takeaway from AOC’s interview is that she is not getting aboard with Joe Biden at all during this election.
She almost gets hostile when she talks about Biden because of what he represents in her eyes.
The Hyde Amendment in particular really seems to get under her skin.
On that issue, she stated, “It’s not the 70s anymore.
“This is 2019, and none of our leaders should be willing to stand by a policy that disproportionately harms low-income Americans and people of color just to suit the interests of anti-choice zealots.
“That ends now.”
Biden recently pivoted his stance on the Hyde Amendment, but that has yet to get AOC in his corner.
It will be very interesting to see what AOC does if Biden wins the nod.
If she doesn’t endorse him, she will be revolting against the party.
If she does end up endorsing him, she turns into just another D.C. hypocrite willing to sell out her values for power.
Our money is on the latter.
