Freshman socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) whined online Wednesday night that she could “could win a Nobel Prize in Physics & they’d still call me dumb”, after conservative columnist Kurt Schlichter dared criticize her for posting a Maoist cult of personality meme of herself–not for being Maoist but for not being very good.
Future Nobel Prize winner Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Wednesday night, “Your daily reminder,” above a cartoon image of herself with the message, “You can’t wait for hope. You have to be hope.”

Schlichter hit Ocasio-Cortez where it hurts–her ego: “I hope you’ll spew better cliches”

That set Ocasio-Cortez over the edge. She angrily fired back, “What, are you sad I don’t speak as our President does, w top hits like “Just grab ‘em by the p—?” Or going on abt turbines & wind cancer? I could win a Nobel Prize in Physics & they’d still call me dumb. That’s why I don’t give a damn about misogynist takes on my intelligence.”

Note that Schlichter didn’t call Ocasio-Cortez’s intelligence into question with his tweet. But she sure did with her response.
