Ocasio-Cortez Hits Back at Mike Huckabee
Democratic Socialist rising star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has hit back at Republican Governor Mike Huckabee, calling his daughter Sarah Sanders a liar. This comes after Huckabee trolled Ocasio-Cortez as “looney” for comparing her election to the moon landing.
Former Arkansas Governor Huckabee on Sunday mocked New York Representative Ocasio-Cortez for a speech in which she compared her victory and that of other progressives mid-term to landmark moments in U.S. history, including the moon landing and the civil rights movement.
“Ocasio-Cortez compares her election to moon landing. Huh? Big difference. Moon landing was LUNAR, not LOONEY; Moon landing done by ppl who knew what they were doing...those who elected someone who thought there were 3 branches of Congress did NOT,” he tweeted, linking to a Daily Mail article reporting the speech in which she drew the comparison.
Ocasio-Cortez doubled down on the comparison, however, this time with reference to her Green New Deal.
“A Green New Deal will take a level of ambition + innovation on the scale of the moon landing. We’ve been done it before, and can do it again,” she wrote.
She also aimed a barb at Huckabee’s daughter, White House Press Secretary Huckabee Sanders—and questioned why he still uses the title 'Governor' on his Twitter profile.
“Leave the false statements to Sarah Huckabee. She’s much better at it.”
“Also, you haven’t been a Governor of any state for 10+ years now.”
