When Fox guest Niger Innis mocked socialist sweetheart Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as “Alexandria Castro-Cortez” last month he may have been onto something.
One of the key tenets of the communism that the 29-year-old taco bar revolutionary turned congressman is championing (albeit in a watered-down form for now) is the abuse of power to wage campaigns of political persecution against enemies. Lenin and Stalin did it, Mao did it, Pol Pot did it and so did Cuban dictator Fidel Castro who has become a heroic figure to many on the left.
The thin-skinned Ocasio-Cortez has often attacked critics on social media but since she was really just a media-created moonbat at the time nobody really paid that much attention to her.
Now that she has been elected to Congress where she will immediately lead the growing radical caucus of America-hating revolutionaries it is different and her response to the president’s son Donald Trump Jr. who mocked her in a social media meme is raising eyebrows.
His grave offense? A meme pointing out that if socialism is so great then why did Venezuelans have to resort to killing and eating zoo animals.
Ocasio-Cortez took to her Twitter account threaten Don Jr. with a subpoena, not a good sign for the future if this fanatic continues to accrue power and draw millennials who are clamoring for socialism to her cause.
I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up.
Please, keep it coming Jr – it’s definitely a “very, very large brain” idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month.
Have fun! https://t.co/oQ6MsdJYCk

Via The Hill, “Ocasio-Cortez fires back at Trump Jr: Keep trolling, we have subpoena power next year”:
Democratic Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) fired back at Donald Trump Jr. on Friday after the president’s eldest son shared a meme implying that her democratic socialist views would lead to Americans eating dogs.
“I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up,” Ocasio-Cortez said on Twitter. “Please, keep it coming Jr — it’s definitely a ‘very, very large brain’ idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month.”
“Have fun!” she added.
But this time Ocasio-Cortez may have bitten off more than she can chew as the outrage was rapid and justified.

The House prohibition on the very kind of threat that @Ocasio2018 just made to @DonaldTrumpJr couldn't be clearer: lawmakers are "prohibited from threatening punitive action" against people/groups for not politically supporting the lawmaker. Ethics Committee should investigate. pic.twitter.com/NNIPp1vsyv

So, um, if he trolls you on media, then you're going to use the power of the government to come after him? That's not fascist or anything. https://t.co/82hOJp39Ua

Did you just threaten to subpoena someone for criticizing you? As a lawyer and former prosecutor I find this deeply troubling. https://t.co/OqIpBkbsIS

My dislike for Jr is well-documented, but threatening a private citizen with a Congressional subpoena because he made a meme you don't like is one hell of a hot take. https://t.co/urxbAaSIbA

Bring on the ethics charges and let this be an example that despite what these nitwits are preaching, communism isn’t cool.
