“This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and ‘fact check’ it,” the progressive Congresswoman from New York wrote on Twitter.
Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mocked Republicans Sunday, comparing her political critcs to Dwight Schrute, the overly fastidious fictional character from former sitcom The Office.
Some critics responded to that tweet by taking the"10 people" figure literally, which Ocasio-Cortez called out Sunday. Ocasio-Cortez wrote her comment above a retweet from Twitter user and lawyer Max Kennerly, who was himself trying to counter the criticism of her Saturday remark. Critics jumped out Ocasio-Cortez’s sarcastic use of “like 10 people” after she posted a series of tweets on Saturday, explaining why her and other progressives in Congress want to increase taxes on the wealthiest Americans. She explained that such a policy would only target a small group of extremely wealthy individuals, many who are already using loopholes to pay significantly lower taxes.
