The battle’s on.

After Kellyanne Conway accused Rep.-Elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — without mentioning her name — of tweeting a “slur” about White House chief of staff John Kelly and diminishing her intelligence on Fox News Tuesday, the soon-to-be congresswoman shot back, suggesting Conway has been “engaged in a war on facts” since President Trump took office.

After Trump announced that Kelly would be leaving the White House at the end of the year, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that Kelly still owes an apology to Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), whom he disparaged earlier this year. She called Kelly’s actions “cowardice,” which Conway interpreted as a slur before she suggested that Ocasio-Cortez “doesn’t seem to know much about anything.”

  1. So does KAC have to pay Hamhock Sanders some type of royalty for this war on facts? Or vice versa?

    Not sure which one holds the patent?

  2. Wow, this young lady is shaping up to be a real tigress. I hope she keeps the fire in her belly and stays grounded at the same time. If so, she’ll go far and do great things.

    You go, girl!:kissing_heart:

  3. AOC is a fighter. She’s damn impressive.

  4. It depended on whether KAC could master the smokey eye…

    AOC is going to be very useful in 2020 to galvanize and energize the millenials, she is just getting warmed up…

  5. In all honesty, when are these people going to realize that engaging with her only benefits AOC?
