Radical Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ripped fellow Democrat Joe Manchin on social media this week after the Senator politely referred to the Representative as a “Young Lady.”
“In Washington, I usually know my questions of power are getting somewhere when the powerful stop referring to me as ‘Congresswoman’ and start referring to me as ‘young lady’ instead,” posted the Congresswoman.
“Imagine if every time someone referred to someone as ‘young lady’ they were ask responded to by being addressed with their age and gender? They’d be pretty upset if one responded with ‘the old man,’ right? Why this kind of weird, patronizing behavior is so accepted is beyond me!” asked AOC on Twitter.

Ocasio-Cortez was referring to an interview in which the Senator was asked to comment on his opposition to the massive $3.5 spending package proposed by the House.
“I don’t know that young lady that well. I really don’t. I have met her one time, I think, between sets here. But that’s it. So we have not had any conversations. She’s just speculating and saying things because she wants to,” Manchin told CNN.
“You’re entitled to your own facts — I mean, your own opinions. You’re just not entitled to create your own facts to support it. And that’s exactly what they’re doing,” the senator said.
