Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is mocking former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin after she accused her of being a “fake feminist.”
During an appearance on Fox News on Wednesday night, Palin ripped Ocasio-Cortez for comments she made about Texas’ new abortion law.
“She is such a fake feminist that she would bring up an issue like this and try to use it to make some political point,” Palin said. “Don’t even get me started on this. It just makes my stomach sick what she has done. She should be embarrassed.”
Palin added, “She’s milking the whole female thing, and as a real feminist, I’m embarrassed for her.”

On Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez responded in a tweet, “I’m so sorry Sarah Palin is mad at me! In fact, to address this I set up a special hotline just for her.”
She also shared a video in response to a comment from someone on Instagram where she said, “Does my existence make you mad? Does the fact that yes, I am a mouthpiece for the people of New York’s 14th Congressional District upset you? Well, I have help for you, call 1-800-CRY-NOW.”
She added, “In fact, we also set up a corresponding website – proceeds go to abortion and reproductive health providers in Texas.”
The progressive star said she had raised “over $250,000 to Texas grassroots pro-choice organizers and healthcare providers so far.”
On Tuesday, Ocasio-Cortez reacted to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) response to a question about the state’s new abortion law and its lack of an exception for cases of rape or incest.
