Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Hits Back After ‘All-American Socialist’ Editorial

(Bloomberg) -- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t mince words after the Wall Street Journal on Feb. 26 published an opinion editorial by Galen Institute president Grace-Marie Turner that labeled the freshman congresswoman an “All-American Socialist.”

“I guess WSJ Editorial Page takes pride in their ignorance of our nation’s history of slavery, Jim Crow, & mass incarceration,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Thursday.
