Ocasio-Cortez Sends A Tweet Directly to President Trump, & All We Can Say Is WOW (Details)
Democrat Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) said on a Sunday morning show that’s there’s a good chance President Trump wins re-election.
Trump saw her words and sent the following tweet:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “I think we have a very real risk of losing the Presidency to Donald Trump.” I agree, and that is the only reason they play the impeach card, which cannot be legally used!

AOC then responded directly to POTUS.
Her words:
Mr. President, you’re from Queens.
You may fool the rest of the country, but I’ll call your bluff any day of the week.
Opening an impeachment inquiry is exactly what we must do when the President obstructs justice, advises witnesses to ignore legal subpoenas, & more.
Bye ????????

Wow! No respect whatsoever for the world’s most powerful man.
Sounds about right coming from a Democrat.
From Newsweek:
Speaking on This Week, Ocasio-Cortez said she wants the Democratic Party to pick a presidential candidate that will “fight for the well-being of working-class Americans and all Americans,” later adding that she feels policies from Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) accomplish those goals.
“I think we need to pick a candidate that is going to be exciting to vote for, that all people: women, people of all genders, races, income levels, geographies feel excited and good about voting for,” the congresswoman added.

It looks like conservative Senator Ted Cruz (TX) and far-left radical Ocasio-Cortez are set to team up.
What do you think of this…?
From Daily Wire:
On Thursday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) — a duo in Congress who could not have more polarized views on most issues — signaled support in a potential bill targeting congressmen-turned-lobbyists, AKA “the swamp.”
AOC tweeted:
If you are a member of Congress + leave, you shouldn’t be allowed to turn right around&leverage your service for a lobbyist check.
I don’t think it should be legal at ALL to become a corporate lobbyist if you’ve served in Congress.
At minimum there should be a long wait period.

Cruz’s response:
Here’s something I don’t say often: on this point, I AGREE with @AOC Indeed, I have long called for a LIFETIME BAN on former Members of Congress becoming lobbyists. The Swamp would hate it, but perhaps a chance for some bipartisan cooperation?

AOC fired back:
.@tedcruz if you’re serious about a clean bill, then I’m down.
Let’s make a deal.
If we can agree on a bill with no partisan snuck-in clauses, no poison pills, etc – just a straight, clean ban on members of Congress becoming paid lobbyists – then I’ll co-lead the bill with you.

AOC once more:
Okay, with @brianschatz + @tedcruz we’ve got at least one D-R team in the Senate to ban members becoming lobbyists, & myself w/ @chiproytx makes at least one D-R team in the House.
And that’s just in a few hours – there will surely be more from both parties to sign on.
Nice ????????
