Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) are trading jabs on Twitter after he advised her to spend less time on the social media platform.

The exchange began after Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, “Black-owned small businesses were widely shut out from accessing PPP loans, yet right-wing disinfo org PV took half a million in public money while decrying direct federal assistance as ‘radical socialism.’ Republicanism in a nutshell. (Also they’re based in Mamaroneck?!)”

Rubio fired back, “Working together R’s and D’s helped save the jobs of 55 million Americans through PPP Work more, tweet less and one day you too can make a difference.”

Ocasio-Cortez mentioned her efforts to help kids who are remote learning and challenged Rubio to explain what he has been doing to help.

“Yesterday I recruited 5,000 volunteers to train and tutor kids in my community who are struggling with remote learning, and that was after investigating the Treasury Secretary’s rationale for stopping CARES Act funding and voting on House legislation. What did you do?” Ocasio-Cortez wrote.

She went on to criticize Republican senators for failing to understand hard work.

“The thing that these conservative Senators don’t seem to understand is that I’ve actually had a physically difficult working-class job without good healthcare most of my adult life. I bring that work ethic to Congress and to my community. They sit around on leather chairs all day,” she said.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) also criticized Ocasio-Cortez for tweeting too much, as IJR previously reported.

She took to Twitter to share a photo of herself staring him down at President Donald Trump’s second State of the Union after he expressed his opposition to defunding the police.

“I don’t know the young lady — I really don’t. I never met her. I’m understanding she’s not that active with her bills or in committee. She’s more active on Twitter than anything else,” Manchin said.
