Republicans are attempting to sway moderate Democrats to vote for Donald Trump by claiming that former Vice President Joe Biden is being advised by socialists on policies.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany tried to push that narrative on Monday during a press conference by diminishing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) title of Congresswoman.

McEnany is referring to the fact that Ocasio-Cortez is one of a number of people who sits on a panel advising the Biden campaign on climate change policy.
Ocasio-Cortez decided to answer McEnany’s comments with a few comments of her own. Take a look:
.@PressSec wouldn’t be the first person to mistake a women of color for having a lower position or title than she does, but Kayleigh – in case you haven’t picked up a newspaper in two years, I’m a Congresswoman. https://t.co/3FRHo7dpTL
