In an unlikely alliance, Donald Trump Jr. sympathized with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) when she criticized a Politico article, calling it “birdcage lining.”

The article Ocasio-Cortez took issue with concerned reporting that she was working to recruit a primary challenger to take on Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who is a member of House Democratic leadership.

  1. As if getting liked by tratior-tot wasn’t enough reason, a true star does not complain about the venue right out of the gate as if they were the first one to notice.

  2. Donald Trump Jr. sympathized with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) when she criticized a Politico article, calling it “birdcage lining.”

    Anybody got a link for the subsequent tweet in which she repudiates Jr’s support?

  3. Did she deny the article’s primary assertion?

    Yes, that is what her tweet says. “Birdcage lining” is basically a lining for the collection of bird sh.t. That is much stronger denial than saying, I deny.

    That is not the first time that Politico attacked her like this. And not the first time they were completely wrong. She’s not attacking them. She’s defending herself from their continuous attack.

    It is also not a pairing, TPM. A legitimate individual grievance and whining over all media being fake news are not a pair. Likely or not. Not even when Donald wants it.

  5. When’s Trump going to invite AOC into the Oval Office so he can hit on her discuss legislation?
