Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed Republican critics on Friday after a photo of her on vacation with her boyfriend in Florida was shared online, telling them to stop “projecting their sexual frustrations” on her.
The war of words starter Steve Cortes, a former Trump campaign adviser, shared a photo on Twitter on Friday of Ocasio-Cortez in public with her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, vacationing in Florida.
Cortes attacked Ocasio-Cortez for not wearing a mask outside and also took aim at Roberts’s “gross pale male feet in public.”
The New York congresswoman responded by retweeting the photo and writing, “If Republicans are mad they can’t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet. Ya creepy weirdos.”

“It’s starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women,& LGBT+ people in general,” the New York congresswoman added. “These people clearly need therapy, won’t do it, and use politics as their outlet instead. It’s really weird.”
Ian Haworth, Another right-wing critic and editor of The Daily Wire, replied to Ocasio-Cortez’s tweet by writing, “I definitely do not want to date you.”
“I’m glad you felt the need to share that with the world,” Ocasio-Cortez quipped. “Don’t worry, this is a totally normal thought to have and share as an editor of a right-wing website, and totally doesn’t prove my point at all. I hear if you say it enough times you’ll actually start to believe it.”
