BREAKING NEWS – Milwaukee, Wisconsin – Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and 2016 GOP presidential candidate John Kasich traded barbs ahead of the former Ohio governor’s speech at the Democratic National Convention.
Kasich, who will be speaking out against President Trump, his one-time rival during the 2016 primary, said during an interview with Buzzfeed News that he thinks the U.S. is “moderate” and that “extreme” politicians — like New York Democrat Ocasio-Cortez — receive “outsized publicity.”
Ocasio-Cortez responded to his criticism in a tweet. “I normally don’t get into debates with fossils, but I’ll make an exception this time,” she began. “First of all, I don’t know why this republican traitor is allowed to speak at a democratic convention. I thought by now instead of still whining like Hillary Clinton, he would’ve healed for Trump kicking his rickety a** in 2016. And I also wish this ancient mummy would keep his opinions to himself, and take a nap back in his room inside one of the pyramids in Egypt, for another 4500 years .”
