AOC Tried to Mock the GOP on Twitter... It Did Not Go Well

On the first night of the Republican National Convention, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) decided it would be a good idea to mock the GOP for its decision not to update the 2016 Republican Party platform—a decision that was predictably mischaracterized by the media—by taking a swipe at the GOP mascot.

“Honestly elephants deserve so much better than to be a mascot for this,” she tweeted.

Honestly elephants deserve so much better than to be a mascot for this

Really, AOC? That’s the best you could come up with? Did she not realize what would happen next?

Jenna Ellis, a senior legal adviser to the Trump campaign and attorney to President Trump, was happy to point out the obvious, which apparently went over the head of poor AOC:

Asses, however, represent your party quite well. https://t.co/wuY4JWZZy6

Others also responded to AOC about how appropriate the DNC mascot is.

And the jacka$$ logo suites you and your smile quite well.

But a jackass fits the Democrats perfectly

You could be right. On the other hand an ass is the perfect mascot of National Dems.

Asses fit well for Demorats 👍🏻 and no, that’s not a misspelling.

It’s hard to give a jackass a bad name but you sure are doing a hell of a job.

Asses, on the other hand, suit you quite well. 🤣🤣🤣

Sorry, AOC, your attempt at an epic burn turned out to be another epic fail.
