MAGA rep rails against 'tone deaf' GOP senator — in defense of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) Saturday saw an unlikely person jump to her defense in a feud with a GOP senator over the weekend.
It started with Sen. John Kennedy, a Republican, attacking Ocasio-Cortez and her past bartending experience.
Kennedy said, "The congresswoman is kind of like Vice President Kamala Harris, but with more bartending experience."
That didn't sit well with MAGA lawmaker Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. She said, "I don't agree with a lot AOC does and I can debate with her on it but to knock her or anyone for being a bartender is not a 'hit,' it’s tone deaf."
She went on to say, "Plenty of people don’t come from political pedigree. There are plenty of people who go through school etc. and are hardworking Americans and they have the right to run for office. Shoot, half of DC spends its time in bars and love the bartenders."
She concluded, "NO TAX ON TIPS AND NO TAX ON OVERTIME is FOR the service industry workers. Focus on calling out McConnell for BLOCKING THE SAVE ACT. THATS A WIN! @SenJkennedy."
For her part, Ocasio-Cortez responded to Kennedy by saying, "My having been a waitress makes me 1000x more qualified to govern on behalf of working people than whatever lifelong politician nonsense you’ve swung from your whole career."
"Why should working people vote for you if this is what you think of them?" she asked.
