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.

    I mean, she’s almost tailor-made to make them practically short out.

    One, she’s obviously a smoke-show and we might as well acknowledge that fact. Add to that, she is obviously very smart and a great speaker, and not afraid to speak up. Being a woman and a POC compounds their feels. She’s also often aligned with the likes of Bernie on many issues.

    Add all this up, and it’s no wonder most Republicans behave like confused middle-school boys and don’t know what to do with their conflicted feelings and end up saying/doing things that more or less boil down to the equivalent of pulling her hair and snapping her bra.

    It usually comes out so incoherent and cringe - I seem to remember some winger(s) saying something about how she was a “hypocrite” for dating a white guy?
