Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trolls Fox News, saying they’re obsessed with her


“No, no es amor/ Lo que tú sientes, se llama obsesión,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. The lyrics to Obsesión, by Aventura, translate to, “No, it’s not love, what you feel is called obsession.”

After another user asked whether she was really going to make Fox hire a translator to read the tweet, Ocasio-Cortez took her shot:

“Don’t worry, Fox News has made it clear that they are far superior to + more intelligent than me, who they’ve called a ‘little, simple person,’” she wrote. “So I’m sure catching up to me in spoken languages shouldn’t be a problem for them.”

The discussion on “The Story” (beginning here, at 38:10) began with Henry’s acknowledgment that “we talk about [Ocasio-Cortez] a lot on Fox & Friends Weekend.” And while panelists Rachel Campos-Duffy, Susan Li and Wendy Osefo were occasionally dismissive — “I disagree with everything she’s trying to do to our country, and economically, but for the shoes, she deserves it,” Campos-Duffy said — they each had praise for her achievement. At 29, Ocasio-Cortez is poised to become the youngest member of Congress.

“Whatever your political ideology is, she worked for it,” Osefo said.

“I respect and I admire the hustle,” Li added, referencing her own history growing up in a single-parent household.

Ocasio-Cortez originally tweeted about her “campaign shoes” in June, saying she won because her team outworked the competition. She defeated Rep. Joseph Crowley, who at the time was the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House.
