CRIMINAL ACT: Democrat Ocasio-Cortez Broke 42 US Code § 1983 By Threatening Donald Trump Jr. with Retaliation Over Snarky Meme

On Friday Donald Trump Jr. mocked dimwitted Socialist Alexandrea Ocasio-Cortez on Instagram with a popular meme that is going around social media.

Ocasio-Cortez: Why are you so afraid of a socialist economy?
President Trump: Because Americans want to walk their dogs, not eat them.

Of course, it’s pretty funny because it’s true.

In response Ocasio-Cortez threatened to harass and abuse Don Jr. with a subpoena to testify before Congress.

Ocasio-Cortez then doubled-down on her threat!

It appears Ocasio-Cortez broke federal law by threatening a US citizen with retaliation for snarky tweets.

You can’t use the power of the law to get back at people for their Instagram memes, Alexandria!
