Ocasio-Cortez Threatens Subpoena in Response to Meme Shared by Trump Jr.
Democratic Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) threatened to use Congress’ subpoena power against Donald Trump Jr. after the president’s son mocked her on social media.
In a Thursday Instagram post, Trump Jr. posted a meme that depicted the democratic socialist Ocasio-Cortez asking President Donald Trump, “Why are you so afraid of a socialist economy?”
“Because Americans want to walk their dogs, not eat them,” Trump responds in the meme, a reference to the extreme food shortages in Venezuela that have reduced residents to eating pets and zoo animals.
Socialists hate mockery, because it’s easy to mock lying idiots. But this kind of threat is specifically forbidden by House Ethics rules. So she’s managed to breach Congressional ethics before being sworn in. She really is precocious!
And here’s the meme she was unhappy about. Spread it around!
Constitutional scholar Ocasio-Cortez says she can run for president because the constitutional age requirement for president only applies to men.
Ocasio-Cortez's latest gaffe comes courtesy of @politico, who overheard her telling a photographer that the Constitutional age limit for presidents only applies to men.
"The Constitution technically says he cannot run unless he’s 35," she said.t.co/d6ZPFp4WAp
