Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) blasted former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka after he called her “an insult to intelligent … humans everywhere.”
Ocasio-Cortez drew backlash, mainly from some allies of President Trump, after comparing Central American migrants seeking asylum to Jews fleeing Nazi Germany.
“You were forced out of the Trump Admin for saying white supremacists were ‘not the problem’ days before Neo-Nazis in Charlottesville killed 3 people,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted at Gorka. “Pretty sure we’re on the right side of history if you’re my opposition.”
“This is not about atrocity. It’s about how we get there,” she added.
