Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) has “been with the Republicans” since Congress returned, after the Michigan Democrat endorsed former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) in the midterms.

“She’s been with the Republicans ever since she’s come back. So she’s been on the Republican side of the aisle,” Ocasio-Cortez said during an appearance on “The Don Lemon Show” that aired Thursday.

“This is just the epitome of a certain kind of transactional politics,” she added. “And it’s really sad.”

      Really? I know what a straw man is. Let’s look at the comment chain

      Aye, that I was. I like arguing and a dialogue is simply are an argument where I don’t start throwing profanities around like a fish hawker.

      The rest of us just call that sort of adversarial, bad-faith bullshit “trolling”

      If you think dialogue is the same thing as adversarial bad-faith trolling, then you might be the troll…

      Yeah no, that’s pretty definitively the user was calling dialogue “trolling,” which is exactly what I called them out on. In other words, not a straw man.
