It must be tough being a Democratic Socialist today.
First, you run out of other people’s money to pay for your new DC apartment.
Then, everyone you meet–in a city full of liberals, mind you–is a racist and a sexist.

That’s exactly what happened to Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the last week alone.
People keep giving me directions to the spouse and intern events instead of the ones for members of Congress 🤦🏽‍♀️

At dinner with a congressman. He said there were no intern events today that he knows of. His staff said same. #liar https://t.co/1McNy3LNzH

From The Daily Wire:
Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was only elected a week ago, but she’s already causing a stir in Washington. Her first big appearance was at a climate change protest — at the office of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who the representative-elect has signaled she isn’t ready to support for her bid to take back the role of House Speaker.
The nation’s youngest congresswoman has also been sounding the alarm over racism and sexism she suggests she’s already experienced on Capitol Hill.
“Dem Spouse + Member luncheon were at the same time today. I was sent to spouse event,” she wrote late Wednesday. “Last night I was stopped bc it was assumed I was an intern/staffer.”

“Next time try believing women + people of color when they talk about their experiences being a woman or person of color,” she concluded.

I agree that’s screwed up, but you need to stop. Too many of your tweets are of the “nobody respects me” nature. When that happens to me, albeit on a smaller scale, I let it roll off my back. Keep working hard without the complaining and the respect will come.

Respect is earned not given.. I think it’s going to be a long wait.

I concur. What a terrible start to what should be an honorable career. So far, all I see out of this millennial is the same “I’m entitled” BS

An old congressman once snapped his fingers at newly elected rep. John F. Kennedy and ordered him to bring him some paperwork. Thought he was a page.

I think that it’s not b/c of your age but rather b/c you come across as completely inexperienced, lack of maturity and common sense. I don’t care how old you. I’ve heard you speak. You play to the heart but fall way short on logic, reason, and common sense.

What a crybaby. Time to grow up, Congresswoman. Stop making excuses and get to work on behalf of your constituents.
