Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) dares Trump to release his college grades after the president criticized the congresswoman as a “poor student.”
“I won’t say where she went to school. It doesn’t matter,” Trump told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo on Thursday. “This is not even a smart person other than she’s got a good line of stuff, I mean she goes out and she yaps and they’re all afraid of her because if you notice, the progressives are beating the regular Democrats.”
