Ocasio-Cortez fires back after Trump dismisses question about him being ‘racist’

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Monday tweeted about President Trump’s response to her saying that he is a racist.

“I bartended for ‘years’ in New York City. I understand guys like this like the back of my hand. We got under his skin,” she wrote.

Her tweet follows Trump’s response to a reporter who recently asked, “Mr. President, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez called you a racist.”

Trump first asked “Who did?” then after being told, again, that it was the Congresswoman, said, “Who cares.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s comment on the matter was made during a recent interview with Anderson Cooper for CBS’ “60 Minutes.”

When Cooper asked her, “Do you believe President Trump is a racist?” she replied, “Yeah, yeah, no question.”
