She's the new target after Hillary stepped out of politics. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago (3 children) Young, female, Latina, everything MAGA hates. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Ninjasftw@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago Don't forget smart and assertive permalink fedilink source parent [–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago Don't forget she was a bartender in college, which they hate.

She's currently in their crossfires. Which honestly, is good. AoC is tough. Shes been doing this for a few years now, picking up the torch that Bernie Sanders lit three decades ago.
