Critics poured cold water on Trump White House counselor Alina Habba and Fox News’ Sean Hannity for mocking Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) over her former job as a bartender on Thursday.
Habba and Hannity were questioning the notion that Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) are leading the “intellectual thought” of the Democratic Party when Hannity called out Ocasio-Cortez’s criticism of top Donald Trump ally Elon Musk, sarcastically saying the New York Democrat is “such a genius.”
Habba chimed in: “You were in the bar. You were in a bar. You were in a bar, AOC. Calm down. And not to have a drink, to serve one.”
“Exactly,” Hannity laughed.
Critics quickly condemned the commentary, the latest in a long line of jabs about Ocasio-Cortez’s time in the service industry.
Many on social media suggested it exposed GOP hypocrisy as it attempts to paint itself as the party of the working class.
