AOC mocks Lauren Boebert over 'good ol conservative values'
New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went after Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebart on Twitter Saturday, using the congresswoman’s comments to condemn “good ol conservative values.”
Speaking from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Boebert spoke to a cheering crowd about her role in Congress.
“We’re here to tell government we don’t want your benefits. We don’t want your welfare. Don’t come knocking on my door… you leave us the hell alone,” she said to cheers.
But the Republican’s comments struck a chord with another polarizing figure on the other side of the aisle.
“Tell ‘em loud and proud girl! GOP will strip your unemployment protections and dismantle any semblance of a public safety net we have left,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a tweet Saturday night. “Then make working people pay way more for everything on low wages while Wall St gets a meal ticket!
“Good ol conservative values baby,” she added.
Boebert and Ocasio-Cortez are no strangers to harsh rhetoric.
Even before entering office, Boebert, a freshman congresswoman, set her sights on the New York Democrat.
