Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threatened to use the powers of her elected office to retaliate against Donald Trump Jr. on Friday after the president's son posted a meme trolling her on his personal Instagram account.
"I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "Please, keep it coming Jr - it’s definitely a “very, very large brain” idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month."

"Have fun!" she concluded.

Almost immediately, numerous political analysts, commentators, and pundits noted that Ocasio-Cortez's comments likely constituted an ethics violation.
"It's worth noting that the official House Ethics Manual explicitly prohibits the kind of threat that @Ocasio2018 just issued against DonaldJTrumpJr for his refusal to support her political agenda," The Federalist's Sean Davis wrote (https://twitter.com/seanmdav/status/1071131583736877057) on Twitter.

The House prohibition on the very kind of threat that @Ocasio2018 (https://twitter.com/Ocasio2018?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) just made to pic.twitter.com/NNIPp1vsyv (https://twitter.com/donaldtrumpjr?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" DonaldTrumpJr[/URL] couldn't be clearer: lawmakers are "prohibited from threatening punitive action" against people/groups for not politically supporting the lawmaker. Ethics Committee should investigate. [URL="https://t.co/NNIPp1vsyv)

A source close to Donald Trump Jr. told The Daily Wire that they expect an ethics complaint will be filed.

I recall reading a quote by her talking about how she was looking forward to "writing legislation" and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Laugh at the thought that she actually thinks SHE will be writing any legislation, or cry at the possibility that she might.

History informs us that young communists have no need for law. Killing all opposition is usually the end result of their power madness.

No, they get to define all terms and change them at their whim.

Maybe she's just getting into Trump's game of ranting and raving on twitter with no consequences?

Good only in that they are so stupendously bad that they may turn people away from socialism, funny only in a dark humor sense.

Ya, I couldn't stop laughing at this thread earlier. She isn't even in congress yet, and she's already completely fucking up..

If we are really lucky she will never lose her seat no matter how bad she is, that seat will never flip red so it might as well be occupied by a psycho that makes the left look as insane as possible.

The loons like her and Mad Maxine etc. are sort of a high stakes bet, if they ever gain control Mao's reign will look attractive but they serve to reduce the chance that the left will ever gain complete control.

There are rumors that she was funded by respected moderate neoconservative who had funded Obama also:

George Soros’s Media Network Worked to Help Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Win Primary (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?529097-George-Soros’s-Media-Network-Worked-to-Help-Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez-Win-Primary&)
She might not be as anti-war as Trump despite some earlier advertizing.
