Kennedy made the swipe at the Democratic lawmaker during an interview with Fox News, saying she is “kind of like Vice President Kamala Harris, but with more bartending experience.” He went on to say that she has “never been accused of being a policy maven.”
AOC reacted on social media, saying “my having been a waitress makes me 1000x more qualified to govern on behalf of working people than whatever lifelong politician nonsense you’ve swung from your whole career.”

Congress has 535 members, you’re off by 100. It should be 43 members with food service experience.
Whoops, I said Congress, but meant the US House of Representatives (since that is what AOC is).
The Senate has an even 100, so plus another 8 on their side.
