Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threatened to use the powers of her elected office to retaliate against Donald Trump Jr. on Friday after the president's son posted a meme trolling her on his personal Instagram account.
"I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "Please, keep it coming Jr - it’s definitely a “very, very large brain” idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month."
Almost immediately, numerous political analysts, commentators, and pundits noted that Ocasio-Cortez's comments likely constituted an ethics violation.

I am getting sick and tired of this little girls antics on Twitter. This irresponsible behavior coming from congresswomen Cortez is getting old. Looking through her twitter feed she also posted something about how climate change is racist... wtf???
The citizens in her district must be so embarrassed. This is a daily occurrence of what crazy thing Alex will say next.
I'm more tolerant of this stuff than most I suppose. She is a political novice who is going to make mistakes. What's bad is if she is taken advantage of in Congress. She is such a novice that she may he easily manipulated. She better smarten up she is about to be swimming with the sharks. They all come wearing smiles.

She's almost 30-years old and acting like a middle schooler. Very disrespectful towards people twice her age. She will not last long at her job.
I dont care for her positions but I am willing to cut her some slack for procedural mistakes.She's almost 30-years old and acting like a middle schooler. Very disrespectful towards people twice her age. She will not last long at her job.
She threatened him with her position in gov which is the issue.thats a big no no.Interesting that her behaviour in defending herself is brought into question, without comment on her attackers' behaviours.
And the President and/or his family is not in government?She threatened him with her position in gov which is the issue.thats a big no no.

Don jr holds no political office that I know of but even if he did, he didnt threaten her with the power of that position. That's the difference.And the President and/or his family is not in government?
It's about time Trump and his got bit back. Let this soak in, for them. They need it. It's exactly what Congress is supposed to do - put them in check. And it's why the Dems were voted into power. In fact, putting Trump in check was among the highest voter concerns for the Dem House voters last month.
Don Jr. is in the White House, and his Dad runs the government. He's part of it all, official title notwithstanding. But I was also referring to the President attacking her and others. I find this last, the ultimate form of government abuse.Don jr holds no political office that I know of but even if he did, he didnt threaten her with the power of that position.

Dont miss understand, I'm not convinced she was serious. I'm willing to give her the benefit of doubt that she was just talking smack and that she did not realize it was a rule violation to do that. Now she knows. If it happens again she needs to be punished but 5his time she should get a pass, imo

I dont like all the name calling and sniping going on but I dont really see it stopping if Trump shut his trap. It's coming from both sides. I dont know what don jr tweeted but im guessing it wasnt unprovoked.Don Jr. is in the White House, and his Dad runs the government. He's part of it all, official title notwithstanding. But I was also referring to the President attacking her and others. I find this last, the ultimate form of government abuse.
Perhaps D.J. should have kept his mouth shut.

They aren't embarrassed. Think about her district. They think she's the second coming.
I personally find her entertaining in exactly the same way I find Trump entertaining. Neither considers anything before going on Twitter to attack. Both are partisan hacks. It's just impressive that she can make enough noise to be compared to POTUS.
I have to laugh at your hypocritical comments when you support a man-child like Trump. Trump supporters make me laugh at their faux outrage :lamo
She threatened him?
What was the threat?
And the President and/or his family is not in government?
