During the debate on Thursday, President Trump referred to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by her initials, as she is commonly known — AOC. According to the congresswoman, however, her colleagues in the government can’t call her AOC.
In a tweet following the debate, the Democratic congresswoman suggested that President Trump and other Republicans are sexist if they do not refer to her by her official government title.
“I wonder if Republicans understand how much they advertise their disrespect of women in debates when they consistently call women members of Congress by nicknames or first names while using titles & last names when referring to men of = stature. Women notice. It conveys a lot,” she tweeted.
“AOC is a name given to me by community & the people. Y’all can call me AOC. Government colleagues referring to each other in a public or professional context (aka who don’t know me like that) should refer to their peers as ‘Congresswoman,’ ‘Representative,’ etc. Basic respect 101,” she continued.
She has remade herself. Once, not so long ago, she was Sandy Cortez from the tony suburb of Yorktown Heights.

That’s your brand. Sorry if that bothers you. It’s not a woman thing so stop playing the sexist card.

This reminds me of Diane Feinstein’s rant at General Petraeus when he used military protocol and respectfully addressed her as, “Ma’am.” She was indignant with that address and embarrassed her self by stopping his testimony and condescendingly told him to address her as Senator Feinstein because she worked hard to become a Senator. One reason I’m not a general is I would have continued addressing her as, Ma’am. I don’t respect those who don’t deserve respect and only display civility towards them.
Comrades, I would like to report a local thoughtcriminal, a woman in a capitalist pig van was sporting a public schools matters sticker featuring an outline of our capitalist pig state while driving past the local top shelf Montessori elementary school.
I am dialing 1-666-CCCP to report this to kommissarina AOC in order to banish this deplorable kulak untermenschen to the racist hellhole Hawaii aboard the NYC to Hawaii unicorn Solyndra solar panel unicorn flatulence combustion powered train.
Forward! Yes we can.
EXTREMELY WELL SAID COMRADE!!! COMRADIA “AOC” will be GREATLY PLEASED!!!
