Yesterday Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez got her hair in a tangle over a photo of teenage boys taking a photo with a cardboard cutout of her and she lashed out at Mitch McConnell on Twitter:
Hey @senatemajldr – these young men look like they work for you.
Just wanted to clarify: are you paying for young men to practice groping & choking members of Congress w/ your payroll, or is this just the standard culture of #TeamMitch?
Thanks. https://t.co/ysRJuwonUx

Wow. AOC sure does like to make a lot of assumptions.
Turns out the teens are just high school students, according to Team Mitch spokesman Kevin Golden:
These young men are not campaign staff, they’re high schoolers and it’s incredible that the national media has sought to once again paint a target on their backs rather than report real, and significant news in our country.
Then Golden lowers the boom:
Team Mitch in no way condones any aggressive, suggestive, or demeaning act toward life-sized cardboard cutouts of any gender.
BWAHAHAHAHA! That’s perfect!
In very much related news, Team Mitch just reported this on Twitter:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and liberal Twitter personalities are trying to dox some underage kids for taking a photo with a cutout at the Fancy Farm political picnic and are cheering on thousands of accounts calling for Senator McConnell to 'break his neck.’

These threats go far beyond a political cartoon or a broken shoulder, they are serious calls to physical violence and we’ve alerted law enforcement.

That video is crazy. Hope McConnell has Secret Service protection with him while he recovers from his broken shoulder.
