Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday fired back at White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, who had made a dismissive remark about her the day prior. "Kellyanne Conway has been engaged in a War on Facts since Inauguration Day," Ocasio-Cortez said in a tweet. "Leveraging those who belittle my capacity is exactly how I defeated a multi-generation, multi-million $ political machine," she further noted. "GOP is even weaker bc their bias has no self-control." Conway, in a Tuesday interview with Fox News, slammed Ocasio-Cortez for suggesting that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly owes Democratic Representative Frederica Wilson an apology for falsely accusing her of crediting herself with getting federal funding for a new building. "[Kelly] is in his fifth decade of public service, and this country owes him a debt of gratitude, not the nonsense that has been spewed about him recently from the left, and from this 29-year-old congresswoman who doesn't seem to know much about anything when you ask her basic concepts about the economy, or the Middle East, or military funding," Conway said.
