Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., made headlines recently for being in surprise agreement with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on the matter of members of Congress working as lobbyists once the leave office.

For many it was a bipartisan whiff of fresh air. Now, in a series of tweets the freshman Congresswoman finds herself agreeing with President Trump – but this time, it’s no cross-aisle love fest.

After the president cheekily tweeted over this past weekend that he agrees with her assessment that there is a “very real risk” he will win re-election in 2020 – and suggested that’s why Democrats should use the “impeach card” – the progressive firebrand cited their mutual New York connection in hitting back.

“Mr. President, you’re from Queens. You may fool the rest of the country, but I’ll call your bluff any day of the week. Opening an impeachment inquiry is exactly what we must do when the President obstructs justice, advises witnesses to ignore legal subpoenas, & more. Bye,” she tweeted, capping it off with a hand-waving emoji.

War of Words

Trump’s latest war of words all started when, during her first Sunday morning show appearance since she took office in January, Ocasio-Cortez told ABC News’ Jon Karl on “This Week,” “I think that we have a very real risk of losing the presidency to Donald Trump if we do not have a presidential candidate that is fighting for true transformational change in the lives of working people in the United States.”

AOC went on to make the case for a progressive 2020 presidential nominee, suggesting anything short of that runs “the risk of Democrats losing to Trump.”

The President then quoted the congresswoman in a tweet Sunday night, adding, “I agree, and that is the only reason they play the impeach card, which cannot be legally used!” He did not elaborate.

Earlier in the interview with Karl, Ocasio-Cortez called an impeachment investigation a “constitutional responsibility.” That prompted Karl to press Ocasio-Cortez on reports that progressive Democrats are frustrated with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who has resisted calls for impeachment proceedings.

“I think it’s quite real,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I believe that there is a very real animus and desire to make sure that we are — that — that we are holding this president to account.”
