After challenged President Trump to show his college transcript, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will speak tonight at Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee
Tuesday, August 18, 2020
VietPress USA (Aug. 18, 2020): On Thursday, Aug. 13, according to a report from Yahoo News, in a 40-minute phone interview on the Fox Business channel, President Trump singled out a number of political rivals for disparagement as “stone-cold crazy,” “not even a smart person” and “angry.” All of them were women. In an earlier tweet, Trump described MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski as “ditzy” and an “airhead.”
Speaking with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, Trump called Sen. Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic vice presidential nominee, a “mad woman”; Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a “poor student” who “yaps”; and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “stone-cold crazy.”
Trump described Sen. Kamala Harris’s treatment of Kavanaugh as “nasty.” “She was extraordinarily nasty,” he said. “She was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing. The way she was — the way she treated now-Justice Kavanaugh. And I won’t forget that soon.”
Trump criticized former Vice President Joe Biden’s support for the so-called Green New Deal, which was championed by Ocasio-Cortez, and quickly pivoted to a personal attack on the freshman Democrat.
“AOC was a poor student,” Trump said. “I mean, I won’t say where she went to school, it doesn’t matter. This is not even a smart person, other than she’s got a good line of stuff. I mean, she goes out and she yaps. These guys — they’re all afraid of her.”
Ocasio-Cortez quickly responded to Trump with a challenge.
“Let’s make a deal, Mr. President,” she tweeted. “You release your college transcript, I’ll release mine, and we’ll see who was the better student. Loser has to fund the Post Office.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bill Clinton to speak at Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention
Following a first night of programming focused on unity -- featuring a handful of Republican speakers and former first lady Michelle Obama -- Democrats continue their mostly virtual convention in Milwaukee Tuesday under the theme of "Leadership Matters" with primetime speeches from both the party's more established leaders and its younger stars.
"We'll hear from the leaders and the experts, the veterans and the activists, all those who seek to unite and not divide, and who step up -- not back down -- from a fight over what's right," the Democratic National Convention Committee said in a news release.
