Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says it is a ‘good thing’ she is Trump’s enemy because he is a ‘fascist president’
ALEXANDRIA Ocasio-Cortez said it's a "good thing" Donald Trump is her enemy because he is a "fascist president."
During an interview for Greenpeace on actress Jane Fonda's "Fire Drill Fridays," AOC declared that being attacked by Trump was "a badge of honor."
"If the worst and most authoritarian, borderline – or probably, actually –fascistic president in modern history considers me public enemy No 1, I think that's a good thing," she said.
"I'm doing a great job," the Democrat added after reiterating the same message in a tweet.
The congresswoman was referring to Trump's “AOC plus 3" comments during the presidential debate on Thursday, which laughed at.
"Frankly, I think it would be privilege and would be a luxury for us to talk about what we would lobby Democratic and how we would push the next Democratic administration," Ocasio-Cortez said.
She tweeted on Friday that like Trump calling her by the widely-used nickname AOC instead of Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez during the was offensive.
"AOC is a name given to me by community & the people," she said. "Y’all can call me AOC.
"Government colleagues referring to each other in a public or professional context (aka who don’t know me like that) should refer to their peers as 'Congresswoman,' 'Representative,' etc. Basic respect 101."
