Since being elected in November and unseating 10-term incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley during the New York primary, Cortez has dealt with her fair share of criticism over everything from her bank account, to her clothes, and even her childhood home.
But she has no problem shutting down her conservative haters, as she did on Thursday with a single tweet addressing the boos she received from her Republican colleagues.
“Over 200 members voted for Nancy Pelosi today, yet the GOP only booed one: me,” she wrote. “Don’t hate me cause you ain’t me, fellas.”
A day later, after being asked about her dance moves by Hill reporter Olivia Beavers, Cortez had a succinct reply: “It is not normal for elected officials to have a reputation for dancing well and I’m happy to be one.” She also threw in a dig at her haters, writing, “It is unsurprising to me that Republication would think having fun should be disqualifying or illegal.”
She continued with advice for young political hopefuls.
“But I think it is really part of the larger question about who should run and how we should run and I think it is great,” Cortez said. “You can be young and run for office. You can have join in life and run for office.”
But Cortez wasn’t done yet. Shortly after, she posted an adorable video of herself to dancing to Edwin Starr’s song, “War” outside her congressional office.
“I hear the GOP thinks women dancing are scandalous,” she said in the tweet. “Wait till they find out Congresswoman dance too!”
We honestly don’t deserve her.
