'In Washington, I usually know my questions of power are getting somewhere when the powerful stop referring to me as 'Congresswoman' and start referring to me as 'young lady' instead,' Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out fellow Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin on Sunday after the West Virginia senator referred to her as"young lady" while responding to recent criticism.

"In Washington, I usually know my questions of power are getting somewhere when the powerful stop referring to me as 'Congresswoman' and start referring to me as 'young lady' instead," Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, said in a pair of tweets that did not refer to Manchin by name.

Maybe he should have referred to her as 'menstruating person' instead.

I think she’s hot. And smart. It’s the real reason the qclan hates her. They can’t put one of their own up against her. Anything I’ve heard against her, has been bullshit parrots.

My mom called me young lady when I was in trouble as a child. Unless congress is going to start referring to each other as old lady and old man, this is completely inappropriate.

Instead of complaining about it she should just refer to him as the “old man from…”

I dare to say that AOC is neither a 'young lady' nor a 'congressman.'

AOC should start referring to them as shmucks.

“Young “ as a compliment. “Lady” as a compliment. Only a power hungry Socialist would demand otherwise. RepAOC

You make allegations about someone. He responds. You abandon the substance of his response and focus on the fact that he called you 'young lady'. Seems to me like an attempt to distract from the fact that she can't back up her allegation.

Everything is identity politics with this young lady

Respect

Manchin’s trying to assert his superiority over AOC. Much like a white man calling a black man “Boy”.

Refer to him as Old Man.

SethAbramson Bravo!😃👏👏👏👏🙌✊

Please she has the same agenda as the rest of them. This dog and pony show is all bullshit for the sheep people.baahhhhaaaa baaahaaaa

Sorry AOC , he’s just reminding you how naive your questions are! ….”Naive” is putting it nicely!

Typical modern trash response to some old school chivalry

AOC should call him old fart.

She ain’t either

his memory of her is still in Trump's era

Manchin, whose fortune comes from coal mining and is owned by the oil and gas industries, is himself a living fossil. It time we moved on from the Manchins of the world.

🙄🙄🙄🙄 yea nobody gives a shit about any young lady or congresswomen blowhard who can’t pass any bills.

respond with 'old man'

What do you think costs more?... her MET galla dress or the ticket to the event?

SethAbramson Could you imagine if she raised her tone and called him a fossil...

Don’t mess with AOC

She pointed out the fact that he talks to Exxon lobbyists at least once a week. I don’t think AOC has to worry about Sen_JoeManchin firing back, I’m quite certain he’s firing blanks. He’s right…they’re bi-monthly meetings.
