Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims that Republican lawmakers cant handle working in the service industry, according to Fox News.

“The thing that these conservative Senators don’t seem to understand is that I’ve actually had a physically difficult working-class job without good healthcare most of my adult life. I bring that work ethic to Congress & to my community. They sit around on leather chairs all day.”

“Republicans like to make fun of the fact that I used to be a waitress, but we all know if they ever had to do a double they’d be the ones found crying in the walk-in fridge halfway through their first shift bc someone yelled at them for bringing seltzer when they wanted sparkling.”

Kasey Lovett said, “This is wrong. I was a waitress for 5+ years throughout high school and college. I am a Republican and I cried in walk-in fridges just like you. The difference between us? I don’t expect the gvt to provide for me. I make my own $ and provide for myself.”

Virginia Kruta said, “I spent my first week in the Army on 4 hours of sleep a night and a sprained ankle, digging one hole to fill in the hole I had just dug the hour before. Cry me a river (‘cuz I didn’t).”
“I did that, plus worked a second retail job while paying my own bills in college,” radio host Dana Loesch responded.

Jessica O’Donnell said, “I’ve worked a thousand doubles. it’s really not that impressive. I don’t think anyone should mock the fact that a representative worked her way up, but millions of people work long days without needing a trophy.”

Kassy Dillon said, “During high school, I woke up at 4:30AM to work at a before school program with kids until I had to go to school. After school I’d work at an after school program for another three hours. I worked my butt off to support myself since I didn’t have supportive parents. But go off. And that was just when I was a teenager. I work even more than that now. Some of the hardest working people I know are Republicans.”

The Dem ‘Squad’ member accused GOP lawmakers of not understanding what it’s like to have a ‘physically difficult working-class job’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. took Republicans to task who have previously mocked her background as a waitress by suggesting that they themselves can’t handle such a job.

The Democratic “Squad” member took to Twitter on Thursday evening and spoke about the unique “work ethic” she brings to Congress while swiping conservative lawmakers.

That sparked quite a response from several conservatives who similarly worked jobs prior to their current careers.
