As we told you earlier, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claiming that VP Mike Pence “literally does not believe in science” caused Sen. Ted Cruz to ask her a couple of science-related questions. AOC replied in a couple of tweets but didn’t provide any actual answers:
Sen. Cruz, while I understand you judge people’s intelligence by the lowest income they’ve had, I hold awards from MIT Lincoln Lab &others for accomplishments in microbiology.
Secondly, I’m surprised you’re asking about chromosomes given that you don’t even believe in evolution. https://t.co/vOIwJhpl7q

Sincerely,
an Intel global finalist,
a fmr multi-year intern for Sen. Kennedy,
a cum laude dual major in Economics & International Relations,
a fmr Educational Director for national organization,
Who to you is “just a bartender,”
And also your colleague.https://t.co/9ktAgXFXDE— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) February 28, 2020

Cruz didn’t consider that to be actual answers:
We see evolution every day: the Dem party is rapidly evolving into an angry, anti-science socialist ideology. You insulted Pence & I asked you 3 real Qs re science. You ignored all 3 & responded w/ your resume & ad hominem attacks. Instead of insults, address the substance. https://t.co/QhyqRJOrii

So he reiterated his questions:
2/x To reprise, science Q1 was “tell us, what exactly is a Y chromosome?”
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 28, 2020
3/x Science Q2 was “at what age of gestation does science tell us that an unborn child feels physical pain?”
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 28, 2020
4/x And Science Q3 was “of the 195 countries on planet Earth, which country produced the greatest total reduction in CO2 emissions in 2019?”
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 28, 2020
5/x I await you’re engagement on the actual substance, as a colleague as you noted, hopefully without the insults.

AOC will almost undoubtedly reply with more resume going as far back as high school, and insults.
Oh, and there’s one more thing:
Btw, congrats on the science fair. https://t.co/F1hDE4fKkG
