The power is already going to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s head, as she’s now threatening Donald Trump Jr. with subpoenas after ‘trolling’ her or something.
First, here’s the instagram post from Donald Trump Jr:
Absolutely. Socialism makes people poor and that’s the point of his meme. We don’t want to be so poor that we have to eat dogs!
Well apparently Ocasio didn’t take kind to the meme and issued a threat on Twitter:
Yikes. Threatening someone with a subpoena over their free speech rights? She’s sounding more and more authoritarian by the day.
Twitter has taken quick notice of this:
Lesson 1 for new Congresswoman: Do not threaten someone for exercisingtheir 1A right with a newly earned serious legal power. #abuseofpower. And 2) the internet is forever.

The House prohibition on the very kind of threat that @Ocasio2018 just made to @DonaldTrumpJr couldn't be clearer: lawmakers are "prohibited from threatening punitive action" against people/groups for not politically supporting the lawmaker. Ethics Committee should investigate. pic.twitter.com/NNIPp1vsyv
