Fox News star Greg Gutfeld, host of the late night hit Gutfeld! and co-host of The Five, ripped into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Tuesday.
And what he had to say on The Five about her huge student loan spending plan quickly went viral.

Critics and economists have warned that the plan is simply government welfare that would disproportionately benefit the middle-upper and upper income brackets.
Ocasio-Cortez was asked about that directly this week.
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Not every program has to be for everybody,” she replied.
“People with apartments pay for first-time homeowner benefits … young people pay for Medicare for our seniors,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “People who take public transit pay for car infrastructure.”
Gutfeld fired back on his show.
“I pay for everything, I get nothing,” Gutfeld said. “Nothing!”

“No, I love how she explains it. They’re not meant for you,” he continued. “Right. But then you have to ask, ‘Okay, then what is this debt forgiveness? Who is it meant for?’
“And when you look at the data, it’s upper white, middle class, liberal women,” Gutfeld said. “This ain’t welfare, right?”
“These are well-to-do people. It’s a bribe for Democrats on the backs of plumbers, truckers, and everyone else who actually does a real job, unlike me,” he pointed out.
“AOC is the symbol of the entitled sponge. She complains about student loans, but she owns a Tesla, and worse, she owns a French bulldog,” he said.
French bulldogs are very expensive breed that cost thousands of dollars to buy as puppies. Additionally, Ocasio-Cortez’ car costs over $35,0000 — more than twice the amount she owes in student loans.
“Turn in the Tesla and sell the dog,” he suggested sarcastically. “I’ll buy it… at half price.”
