As Twitchy told you earlier, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took great umbrage at GOP Sen. Rick Scott using her Green New Zeal to point out the flaws in Cory Booker’s absurdly awful gun control plan:
?BREAKING: the latest terrible idea to come out of the Democrats' 2020 primary is a federal gun registry. If you want to buy a gun, @CoryBooker wants you to register with the federal government.
This would be scary if Booker had any chance of becoming President. (1/2) https://t.co/uJRLXo054E

What's next? Will we have to register sharp knives? Maybe @AOC will make us register every time we buy meat as part of her #GreenNewDeal.
The Democrats are officially the @BernieSanders Party. They want America to be less prosperous and less free. (2/2)

That a sitting US Senator can say something lacking so much critical thinking + honesty is embarrassing to the institution.
If you were a female candidate, maybe you’d be called “unlikeable,” “crazy,” or “uninformed.”
But since you’re not, this inadequacy is accepted as normal. https://t.co/KLkaYxfT6K

The irony of AOC blasting someone else as “lacking so much critical thinking + honesty” was not lost on us. Or on Sen. Scott, who apparently isn’t interested in indulging AOC’s childish ignorance and projection:
That a sitting Congresswoman doesn’t understand sarcasm would be embarrassing to the institution if you hadn’t embarrassed yours to the point of irrelevance already.
America rejects socialism and will continue to. https://t.co/bicJ8PEfD5

Hope AOC was wearing a helmet, because that mic Scott dropped on her was pretty massive.
Boom, roasted
