The New York representative also questioned why Fox News was so obsessed with her.
In her latest television appearance, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez likened President Donald Trump to a parasite few people would have heard of, and wondered aloud about why Fox News was so obsessed with her.
The NBC host interrupted by joking that meant she had something in common with President Donald Trump. “I think he did that too…” Meyers began to say, but Ocasio-Cortez interrupted with, “Because he’s a nematode?” Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the Diana Center at Barnard College on March 3, 2019 in New York City.

Ocasio-Cortez also said she was puzzled by claims put out by this week by Fox & Friends host and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee that she was she was a"Manchurian candidate." This is a reference to the novel by Richard Condon about a brainwashed American veteran who unwittingly becomes a tool of a Soviet-led Communist conspiracy to take over the U.S. government.
She recounted an incident when she was on the House floor about to vote, and someone came up to her and asked,"Is it true that you got $10 million from Netflix?" Ocasio-Cortez replied,"No… what else do you not know! This is concerning!"
