Whew! Lookout Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just ate her own fake news and was called out by White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
On Monday morning AOC got her feathers in a ruffle from a fake news attack on Press Secretary McEnany, claiming that she was racists for referring to AOC as a Biden advisor and not calling her by her correct title Congresswoman. The fake news was instigated by politico reporter Jake Sherman.
We posted screenshots of the congresswoman’s tweets at the very bottom of the post just in case they delete their tweets.

.@PressSec wouldn’t be the first person to mistake a women of color for having a lower position or title than she does, but Kayleigh – in case you haven’t picked up a newspaper in two years, I’m a Congresswoman. https://t.co/3FRHo7dpTL

The angry Congresswoman demanded an apology…
The @PressSec comment is steeped in a long, hurtful, & horrendous history of stripping women of color of titles and diminishing them to “the help.”
Perhaps she isn’t aware that what she did is mired in racist history. If that is the case, I look forward to her apology tomorrow.

For some reason, she deleted this tweet while she was raging.
Well, McEnany responded and her answer silenced AOC, she posted a screenshot of the transcript that showed she correctly referred to AOC as a “congresswoman.”

Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has hammered the White House press core since taking the job, they tried to send in AOC to shut her down and failed.
Just in case Sherman or AOC tried to delete their tweets below are screenshots.
