The week just wouldn’t feel complete without some unintentional comic relief courtesy of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Remember a few months ago when AOC seemingly took offense over some Fox News personalities allegedly referring to her as “Cortez” rather than “Ocasio-Cortez”?

Not a single instance of this happening was ever provided as proof of this serious injustice, but nevertheless she jumped on to the Twitter machine to, of course, protest:

My last name is Ocasio-Cortez. Full stop. That’s my name.

No, you can’t say “Cortez.” I’ve never used that in my life. “Cortez” is referring to someone else.

Even if they‘re trying to be rude + wrong, my dad’s last name was Ocasio anyway.

(His name was hyphenated too, though.)

She went on to say that simply referring to her as “AOC” was “fine though”:

For the curious, in Latinx culture children take *both* their parents‘ names.

It’s not a “progressive, new thing.” It’s just how some names work. PR hyphenates, others mark differently. Your last name = the families that came together to make you.

AOC is also fine though 🙂

Fast forward to Thursday. Apparently Ocasio-Cortez is on the verge of needing a wahmbulance called on her behalf thanks to how House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy reporteredly refers to her:

.@GOPLeader keeps calling her @AOC “Congresswoman AOC.”

HORRORS. She wasn’t pleased:

*When you’re 7 months into your new job but that one guy still doesn’t know how to say your name* https://t.co/2lqkuRXbIi

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 25, 2019

But, but … she said just a few months ago that calling her “AOC” was ok?! I’m so confused:

"The congresswoman does not have any issues with that, though, telling people on Twitter that she's not just Cortez; she's Ocasio-Cortez, or they can just call her AOC."https://t.co/FvqDdngATO pic.twitter.com/MMr0UlDvSI

I know you're drunk on your own conceit of self-importance but look, you fully and publicly condoned the @AOC brand, which, after all, is the Twitter handle that you're making this tweet from

Red State‘s Bonchie had a response for her that, once you read it, felt like that feeling you get when your favorite major league baseball team scores the winning run in the bottom of the 15th inning in game 7 of the World Series:

You specifically said it’s ok to call you that. For reference, this is what actual privilege looks like. You have nothing substantive to complain about to make yourself a victim, so you just start making it up.

Bonchtastic!

The comments to AOC’s post were not all negative against her, though. Pro-abortion mouthpiece Alyssa Milano jumped in to express some sisterly solidarity with the freshman Congresswoman:

I still get called, “ah-leese-ah,” if it makes you feel any better.

— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) July 26, 2019

Trust me, ladies. Y’all being called “AOC” and ““ah-leese-ah” respectively is much more polite than what y’all call us.
