"Mr. President, don't take your anger out on me - I'm just a silly girl," Ocasio-Cortez responded Tuesday after the president dubbed her "Stupid AOC."
"Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war," she said.
Ocasio-Cortez emerged as one of Trump's fiercest congressional critics after the U.S. attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran on Saturday night. While Democrats raged against Trump, calling his actions unconstitutional, Ocasio-Cortez went as far as to call for his impeachment.
"It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made," the 35-year-old Democratic socialist, who is considered a potential 2028 presidential candidate, said Tuesday, before adding, "Also, I'm a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully."
She was responding to a lengthy post from the president in which he referred to her as "Stupid AOC" and "one of the 'dumbest' people in Congress."
Trump criticized Ocasio-Cortez for "now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before."
During Trump's first term, he was impeached twice. First, in 2019, Trump was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress over allegations that he asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to interfere in U.S. elections. Following the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump was impeached for inciting an insurrection.
After insulting Ocasio-Cortez's intelligence, Trump said she is "far more qualified than Crockett, who is a seriously Low IQ individual, or Ilhan Omar, who does nothing but complain about our Country."
He also said, "AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical."
And Trump dared Ocasio-Cortez, "Go ahead and try Impeaching me, again, MAKE MY DAY!" after telling her to go back home to her district in Queens, where Trump was raised, and "straighten out her filthy, disgusting, crime-ridden streets, in the District she 'represents,' and which she never goes to anymore. She better start worrying about her own Primary."
"Maybe that's because you advised the president to illegally bomb Iran," Ocasio-Cortez replied.
