A chat on CNN’s “New Day” Monday revolved around Republicans and their “sexual frustrations,” ultimately ending with conservative commentator Mary Katherine Ham joking that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has taken up the fight for “the plight of the super hot.”
To understand how this segment came about, turn to Ocasio-Cortez’s Twitter. She responded this weekend to right-wing criticism of her New Year’s vacation to Florida by writing, “If Republicans are mad they can’t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet. Ya creepy weirdos. It’s starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women,& LGBT+ people in general.
