Kennedy made the swipe at the Democratic lawmaker during an interview with Fox News, saying she is “kind of like Vice President Kamala Harris, but with more bartending experience.” He went on to say that she has “never been accused of being a policy maven.”

AOC reacted on social media, 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 added.

    Responding to the fascists seems to me a lot like trying to have a meaningful conversation with one of those inflatable dancing tube men things. You’re well within your rights, but you’re trying to have a conversation with nothing more than a bag of wind that always goes limp the moment someone pulls its cord.

      I take it as her response is for people, not for him. Sometimes people need someone to spell out things. Like the representative thing, so they can understand billionaires might not have their best interest at heart over someone that actually has gone through the same struggles they are under.
