Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is returning fire on Fox & Friends after they suggested that her interest in paying her staff a living wage is full-blown communism.

The Fox morning program used a portion of their Monday show to talk about Ocasio-Cortez’s interest in paying her entry-level staffers a decent salary. As the panel determined that Ocasio-Cortez will have to do that by re-allocating money which would’ve gone to senior-level staff, Pete Hegseth declared that the idea is “socialism and communism on display.”

The congresswoman has noticed those comments, and now she’s making fun of conservatives who reflexively scream “communism” and “socialism” for every idea she has.

The GOP is so disconnected from the basic idea that people should be paid enough to live that Fox actually thinks me paying a living wage in my office is “communism.”

So the next time GOP screams “socialist,” know that’s their go-to attack for any common-sense, humane policy. https://t.co/wNe6RGVKVy
