[NYP] Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out against President Trump for repeatedly referring to her as "AOC" during Thursday night’s presidential debate, saying the nickname — which she has promoted since launching her political career — is only reserved for her constituents.Trump twice referred to the Bronx-born congresswoman in response to a question about climate change and the economy.
"If someone told me 3 years ago, while I was waitressing to help my family stay afloat, that in a few short years an unhinged President of the United States would be repeatedly saying my name at the 2020 debate, I would’ve brought them some water and told them to sober up," she tweeted Thursday night.
She then railed, "AOC is a name given to me by community & the people. Y’all can call me AOC.
