In a new interview with The New Yorker, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said she is "as powerful as a man," and that infuriates her GOP critics.

Ocasio-Cortez made that comment when presented with a quote by Ashley Reese of Jezebel about women in politics: "Women are often either characterized as hideous harpies like Hillary Clinton or pretty idiots whose ‘craziness’ is bound up with their sex appeal. ... To her critics, Ocasio-Cortez is firmly in the pretty idiot category.”
