As Twitchy told you earlier, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went after Donald Trump Jr. and may even be in trouble with the House Ethics Committee for it …
I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up.
Please, keep it coming Jr – it’s definitely a “very, very large brain” idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month.
Have fun! https://t.co/oQ6MsdJYCk

Seems ‘Jenny from the Block’ figured out she might have written a check her butt can’t cash:
For the GOP crying that this is a “threat” – I don’t have power to subpoena anybody.
Congress as a body, GOP included, has the power. No indiv. member can issue a subpoena unless they are a Chair (which, as a freshman, I can assure you I will not be). Also must be under purview.

Not so tough now, is she? Oh to be a fly on the wall when she figured out she screwed up with that tweet.
Heh.
oh, okay https://t.co/zZfYCgCFMJ

oh well that makes the threat okay then since you can't do it yourself. https://t.co/Xku4PQNadJ

There may be legitimate reasons to subpoena Trump Jr., but an incoming member of Congress threatening to do so as payback for him trolling her on Twitter is incredibly inappropriate and adds to the perception that these investigations are political. https://t.co/ugDfG0dTsh

This went well, Alexandria.
You’re not a smart person…

She hasn't even been sworn in and she's already publicly threatening to abuse the power of government in personal vendettas over free speech she doesn't like. Socialists love them some tyranny.

Democrats.
*shrug*
Kitten, as a government representative what you said is an affront to anyone that believes in the 1st Amendment.
You are a public figure now, and if us unelected peons want to call you a "fascist idiot", we can do that until out heart's content you fascist idiot.

Nukes and subpoenas. You Democrat House Members are awfully good at making threats and then trying to wriggle your way out of it. Right, @ericswalwell?

They are the true authoritarians.
So you don’t threaten fascism, you just wish for it.

Your thin skin, coupled with your lack of professionalism is astonishing.

Only took you about 2 hours to come back and acknowledge you just learned something that you had no idea about…

She’s a fine example of Trump-era politics https://t.co/aWCfa1WqPT
