On Saturday, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), the House minority whip, responded to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who had advocated for a 70 percent top tax rate. When Ocasio-Cortez shot back, her supporters joked about assassinating Scalise, who nearly lost his life in the 2017 congressional baseball game shooting.

“Snipe his a**!” the popular satirical account Raandy tweeted, responding to Ocasio-Cortez. His tweet received 582 “likes” and 7 “retweets.”

Another chimed in, “she’s got better aim than James Hodgkinson, that’s for sure.” This tweet received 25 “likes.”

James Hodgkinson was the shooter who nearly killed Scalise in 2017. The congressman almost lost his life multiple times during and after the shooting.

“Raandy” is a satirical account that played a hoax on conservatives during the 2016 election by claiming to be a post office worker and ironically confessing to “ripping up absentee ballots that vote for Trump.” His tweet is clearly a joke, but the 2017 shooting is no laughing matter. Any of the 582 people who “liked” this message on Twitter might be inspired to actually carry out what Raandy so glibly jokes about.

Scalise himself called attention to these horrendous tweets, sharing a screenshot of them. “Hi [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]. Happy to continue this debate on the Floor of the People’s House, but it’s clearly not productive to engage here with some of your radical followers,” he tweeted, with the hashtag “#StayClassy.”

The Twitter debate began when Scalise responded to Ocasio-Cortez’s admittedly “radical” proposal of a 70 percent top tax rate in order to combat climate change (to be fair, she did clarify that this would only apply to the top earners).

“Republicans: Let Americans keep more of their own hard-earned money,” Scalise tweeted. “Democrats: Take away 70% of your income and give it to leftist fantasy programs.”

Ocasio-Cortez shot back with invective. “You’re the GOP Minority Whip. How do you not know how marginal tax rates work?” she asked. “Oh that’s right, almost forgot: GOP works for the corporate CEOs showering themselves in multi-million bonuses; not the actual working people whose wages + healthcare they’re ripping off for profit.”

While Scalise did not perfectly represent Ocasio-Cortez’s agenda, the self-described democratic socialist’s response seemed needlessly aggressive. Rather than discuss the issues, she blasted Scalise and his party as selfish profiteers, intentionally screwing the poor.

It seems sadly natural that when this Democrat blasted Republicans as evil, some of her followers would take that too far. None of this means Ocasio-Cortez is responsible for the horrific “jokes” that ensued, but she arguably needs to condemn them.

No man who almost lost his life to political violence, and went through months of recovery — well documented in the recent book Back in the Game: One Gunman, Countless Heroes, and the Fight of My Life — deserves to have his pain and struggles mocked in such a way.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hit back at Georgia House candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday after the Republican mockingly thanked the congresswoman for putting an end to 'dumb blonde' jokes.

'Don't worry Mrs. Greene, I completely understand why you need to swing + miss at my intellect to make yourself feel better,' Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in response to a tweet from Greene.

Greene, who has openly promoted the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory, had tweeted that 'as a blonde woman' she would like to 'thank' the freshman lawmaker because 'she has single handily put an end to all 'dumb blonde' jokes.'

'Blondes everywhere appreciate your service and your sacrifice!' Greene added.

Ocasio-Cortez corrected Greene's spelling in her tweet hitting back, wishing the Georgia hopeful luck when she's 'writing legislation.'

Don't worry Mrs. Greene, I completely understand why you need to swing + miss at my intellect to make yourself feel better.

You seem to have some trouble spelling your own insults correctly.

Next time try 'single-handedly,' it'll work better.

Good luck writing legislation! https://t.co/y33JXVfxDc

Greene won the Republican nomination for Georgia's 14th Congressional District last month, sparking controversy because of her public support for the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory, which posits that President Trump and his allies are working together to expose and arrest an underground cabal of global elite who control the government and run child sex trafficking rings.
