Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) took down Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in the best way possible this week after her latest meltdown in which she accused Republicans of mocking her for being a waitress.
It all started last week, when Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to claim that Republicans don’t understand what hard work really means.
“The thing that these conservative Senators don’t seem to understand is that I’ve actually had a physically difficult working-class job without good healthcare most of my adult life. I bring that work ethic to Congress & to my community. They sit around on leather chairs all day,” she tweeted.

“Republicans like to make fun of the fact that I used to be a waitress, but we all know if they ever had to do a double they’d be the ones found crying in the walk-in fridge halfway through their first shift bc someone yelled at them for bringing seltzer when they wanted sparkling,” she added.

While appearing on former Fox New host Megyn Kelly’s podcast on Thursday, Crenshaw fired back at the self-described Democratic Socialist.
“There’s multiple members of Congress, on the Republican side, missing body parts,” the veteran said. “To say that we just don’t know hardship — and there’s multiple businesses, multiple people that have real-life experiences, and for you to just dismiss that, it just shows how out of touch she is truly and how insulting she is all the time.”
“And that playing the victim thing, she really embodies sort of the worst stereotypes of the millennial generation. And it gives us a bad name, and I wish she’d stop,” added Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL who lost his eye while serving his third deployment in Afghanistan.
“It really is about elevating that victimhood as a virtue,” he concluded.
Crenshaw perfectly hit the nail on the head here, as there’s nothing Ocasio-Cortez loves more than playing the victim. She really does give millennials everywhere a bad name.
