Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., spent a good deal of her Monday on social media, defending the United Auto Worker strike against General Motors.

But Fox News’ Sean Hannity caught a major slip-up from the New York socialist.

“Incredibly inspired by GM’s almost 50,000 workers for having the courage to strike for the dignified work they deserve,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.

“In a time of record profits, workers should prosper, not suffer. That’s why unions play a key role in an economy that works for everyone,” she said.

Did you catch that?

Hannity did — Ocasio-Cortez accidentally praised the economy President Donald Trump has built, the Fox News host posted on his website.

“Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threw her full support behind striking auto workers on social media Monday; inadvertently admitting US companies are seeing “record profits” under President Trump,” Hannity wrote.

Ocasio-Cortez later made the same mistake on Wednesday, saying it was barbaric for General Motors to cut off the health insurance for their employees that refused to show up to work.

“This is straight barbarism,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “GM workers are asking for a raise during a time of record profits. In response, GM execs cut off their health insurance.”

In other words, Ocasio-Cortez is saying: When there are huge profits from record growth and low unemployment, workers have greater bargaining position to ask for increased wages.

Ocasio-Cortez is sounding more like a capitalist, and less like a socialist, a little more every day now that she’s living under Trump’s red hot economy.

This is straight barbarism.

GM workers are asking for a raise during a time of record profits. In response, GM execs cut off their health insurance.

Yet another reason we insist on #MedicareforAll: so your healthcare won’t be held hostage to negotiate lower wages. https://t.co/iKGqZ0igv5
