The 29-year-old congresswoman has become a lightning rod for Republican criticism.
New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has reacted to a wave of conservative criticism in recent weeks, stating that attacks from GOP figures and the conservative media have been sparked by her gender.
In the New Yorker interview, Ocasio-Cortez said she agreed with the comments."I feel like I predicted it from day one,” she said. “The idea that a woman can be as powerful as a man is something that our society can’t deal with.” “I can see Trump being enormously upset that a 29-year-old Latina, who is the daughter of a domestic worker, is helping to build the case to get his financial records. I think that adds insult to injury to him,” she said.
