WASHINGTON -- Freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and longtime Wisconsin politician Scott Walker certainly don't share the same political views, and the heat between the right-wing and the left-wing politicians came to a boil on Twitter Tuesday, Jan. 15.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has made headlines for suggesting marginal tax rates, receiving praise from her loyal followers and harsh criticism from many conservatives. Walker took to Twitter to offer a critique of Ocasio-Cortez's proposed plan -- a 70% tax on those who make over $10 million per year.
Walker's tweet read:
Ocasio-Cortez fired back within hours, tweeting:
Walker followed up with a second tweet aimed at Ocasio-Cortez, targeting her democratic-socialist views:
Walker continued the exchange with a third tweet, this time not directly aimed at Ocasio-Cortez.
A fourth tweet was posted around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. This time, Walker was directly targeting Ocasio-Cortez's earlier tweet:
Tuesday's exchange was not the first time Walker has jabbed Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter. After Ocasio-Cortez's Jan. 7 interview with Anderson Cooper went viral, Walker was quick to denounce the "Democrats' latest star's" far-left-leaning views, focusing particularly on the proposed marginal tax rates. Walker has been notably more active on Twitter since leaving the governor's office earlier this month.
