Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded to a report that President Trump compared her to Eva Perón and she didn’t even find it insulting at all.
AOC responded to the comparison by tweeting out quotes from Eva Perón, writing: “‘I know that, like every woman of the people, I have more strength than I appear to have.’ – Evita Perón.”
1. NEW: I’ve obtained a copy of @TimAlberta‘s book “American Carnage” which comes out on July 16.
President Trump sat down with Tim for the book and in an interview he shares what his nickname for @AOC is:

Daily Wire:
President Donald Trump compared socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to former Argentine first lady Eva Perón — often called “Evita” — in a new book that is set to go on sale in mid-July. Ocasio-Cortez took the comparison as a compliment, despite the fact that Evita was a Nazi sympathizer who helped her husband, Argentine President Juan Perón, destroy Argentina’s economy by implementing socialism and eroded civil liberties in the nation.
The book, “American Carnage,” states that Trump saw Ocasio-Cortez on a cable news show and said: “I called her Eva Perón. I said, ‘That’s Eva Perón. That’s Evita.”
Trump reportedly told his team to contact then-Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY) — who Ocasio-Cortez upset in the Democratic primary — to tell him that “he better get off his fat ass and start campaigning.”
Ocasio-Cortez responded to the comparison by tweeting out quotes from Eva Perón, writing: “‘I know that, like every woman of the people, I have more strength than I appear to have.’ – Evita Perón”. More
“I had watched for many years and seen how a few rich families held much of Argentina’s wealth and power in their hands. So the government brought in an eight hour working day, sickness pay and fair wages to give poor workers a fair go.”
– Evita Perón

Quoting someone who profited from Nazi spoils from Jewish victims. On brand.

Her dear hubby was protecting Nazi war criminals.
Only reason she’s famous is because of a bad movie. Without Hollywood hyping her she would be forgotten, and rightfully so.

Evita was the worst nightmare of our country, we still suffering her legacy, 50 years after her death.

Interesting you choose a quote by a woman who pretty much bankrupted her country.

First you mislabel migrant detention facilities “Concentration camps,” diminishing the atrocities of Nazis in WW2… and now you positively quoted an actual Nazi sympathizer to describe your work.
You and your team HAVE TO be better than this.
