Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) sent a warning Friday to the bigots who flood her offices with hateful telephone calls.

The freshman lawmaker tweeted that all the threats were forwarded to Capitol Police “to build files.” She added: “For all those who think your bigoted calls + digital threats are anonymous: Enjoy!”

Ocasio-Cortez’s warning was in response to a tweet from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who also reported being “flooded with bigoted voicemails and calls every day” amid an exchange with Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), who without evidence had earlier intimated that she disliked Jewish people.

1. Intelligent, assertive women of color drive some people crazy

I don't always agree with AOC and the new Justice Democrats in the House, but I will never try to take away or detract from what they already accomplished. And these assholes calling their offices need to be held accountable.

2. Recommended.

Racists and cowards acting as expected.

3. Law enforcement should not compile files

On protected, although abhorrent speech.
