The very thought of somebody with wealth and prosperity makes progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s, D-N.Y., proverbial skin crawl.
And when it’s directed at stopping her ultra-liberal views, Ocasio-Cortez goes into full meltdown mode.
AOC’s latest unhinged rant?
Well, it’s because of Donald Trump’s visit to a Pennsylvania McDonald’s over the weekend.
According to AOC, she claimes that Donald Trump serving food at a McDonald’s and X owner Elon Musk giving away $1 million a day to boost voter turn out efforts was an example of the two men mocking working class Americans.
During a speech she delivered alongside United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain, AOC accused Trump of “making fun” of the working class and that Trump considers people who work at McDonald’s “a joke”.
“They’re not trying to empathize with us. They are making fun of us,” she said.
“Donald Trump thinks that people who work at McDonald’s are a joke,” she continued.
However, during Trump’s weekend “shift” at the McDonald’s in question, while it was a direct dig at highlighting allegations that Vice President Kamala Harris never worked at a McDonald’s during her college career as she apparently claimed on her resume, Trump did seriously note that his goal was to highlight that it was important to be amongst working class voters and to celebrate their hard work.

Guess AOC missed that memo?
But she didn’t stop there as she continued her wrath towards Musk after he pledged to give away $1 million every day until Election Day to a random person who signs his America PAC petition that pledges support for the First and Second Amendments.
“We see Elon Musk coming in here. I mean, we gotta talk about what this guy’s doing,” AOC told the audience.
“He’s not only just dumping millions and millions of dollars here in the state of Pennsylvania, acting like he’s from here, acting like he knows what Pennsylvania is about,” she said. “It’s not just what he’s doing, he’s doing these little, I don’t know, these little contests where he’s promising people a million dollars in some kind of lottery giveaway if they sign up for his list.”
“And I want us to put together what those two things are like when you have a billionaire just dangling a million bucks to those of us, and many of us who are struggling to make ends meet, if they dance for him,” she continued. “You’ve got Donald Trump putting on a little McDonald’s costume because he thinks that’s what people do.”
If that reads like a juvenile fight, her audio proves it. Check it out:

But sadly, this is par for the course with AOC.
This month, AOC unleashed a social media meltdown at Kamala Harris, warning Harris over the potential removal of Federal Trade Commission Chairperson Lina Khan from her role — and threatened to “brawl” over her replacement.
“Let me make this clear, since billionaires have been trying to play footsie with the ticket: Anyone goes near Lina Khan and there will be an out and out brawl,” Ocasio-Cortez warned on X.
“And that is a promise. She proves this admin fights for working people. It would be terrible leadership to remove her.”
