Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is scorching President Donald Trump after The New York Times published a report on the president’s tax returns.

The Times, after obtaining over two decades of Trump’s tax information, alleged in its article that Trump paid $750 in federal income tax in 2016 and 2017. The outlet also reports that Trump “paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.”

Not holding back, Ocasio-Cortez took a swipe at the president calling him a “walking scam.”

After noting she paid “thousands of dollars” in taxes per year in 2016 and 2017 “as a bartender,” she said on Twitter late Sunday, “[Trump] contributed less to funding our communities than waitresses [and] undocumented immigrants.”

“Donald Trump has never cared for our country more than he cares for himself,” she added. “A walking scam.”

In 2016 & ‘17, I paid thousands of dollars a year in taxes *as a bartender.*

Trump paid $750.

He contributed less to funding our communities than waitresses & undocumented immigrants.

Donald Trump has never cared for our country more than he cares for himself. A walking scam. https://t.co/VZChbp8htu

In another tweet, the New York lawmaker recalled reports when “last year Republicans blasted a firehose of hatred [and] vitriol my way because I treated myself to a $250 cut [and] lowlights on my birthday.”

The Times reported:

“Mr. Trump has written off as business expenses costs — including fuel and meals — associated with his aircraft, used to shuttle him among his various homes and properties. Likewise the cost of haircuts, including the more than $70,000 paid to style his hair during ‘The Apprentice.’ Together, nine Trump entities have written off at least $95,464 paid to a favorite hair and makeup artist of Ivanka Trump.”

In response, Ocasio-Cortez said, “Where’s the criticism of their idol spending $70k on hairstyling? Oh, it’s nowhere because they’re spineless, misogynistic hypocrites? Got it.”

Last year Republicans blasted a firehose of hatred + vitriol my way because I treated myself to a $250 cut & lowlights on my birthday.

Where’s the criticism of their idol spending $70k on hairstyling?

Oh, it’s nowhere because they’re spineless, misogynistic hypocrites? Got it. https://t.co/xCQGwW7EK5

Trump dismissed the Times report as he said during Sunday’s press conference, “That is fake news. It’s totally fake news. Made up, fake,” as IJR reported.
