AOC deletes tweet after mistaken attack on fellow Democrat
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday reportedly deleted a tweet in which she mocked a Democratic lawmaker she wrongly identified as a Republican.
Instead, she misfired at a fellow Democrat who said he took the picture because he “wanted everyone to know” he welcomed Ocasio-Cortez in Kentucky.

Yarmuth, chair of the House Budget Committee who has served in Congress since 2007, later explained the cutout photo on Twitter, saying he wanted everyone to know he welcomes Ocasio-Cortez in Kentucky “regardless of what old white male Republicans think.”
