Ocasio-Cortez responds to McCaskill: 'Pretty disappointing'
By John Bowden - 12/29/18 04:27 PM EST Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) fired back at former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) on Saturday after the outgoing senator aimed criticism at the freshman New York lawmaker for her embrace of the Democratic Party's left wing.
In a series of tweets, Ocasio-Cortez called McCaskill's rhetoric "pretty disappointing" and pointed out that progressive items including a minimum wage increase won on the ballot in Missouri in November while McCaskill, a more conservative Democrat, was defeated.
"Not sure why fmr Sen. McCaskill keeps going on TV to call me a “thing†and “shiny object,†but it’s pretty disappointing," Ocasio-Cortez wrote Saturday.
