Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday fired back at White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, who recently called the New York Democrat “a 29-year-old congresswoman who doesn’t seem to know much about anything.”
“Kellyanne Conway has been engaged in a War on Facts since Inauguration Day. Leveraging those who belittle my capacity is exactly how I defeated a multi-generation, multi-million $ political machine. GOP is even weaker bc their bias has no self-control,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
