Trump jokes 'young bartender' Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal will get him re-elected

President Donald Trump referred to Democratic firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the “young bartender” on Tuesday night, pleading with GOP lawmakers not to kill her Green New Deal proposal before he gets the chance to run against it in 2020.

“The Green New Deal done by a young bartender, 29 years old,” Trump said at a fundraising dinner Tuesday night for the National Republican Congressional Committee. “A young bartender, wonderful young woman, the Green New Deal. The first time I heard it I said, ‘That's the craziest thing.’”

Ocasio-Cortez shot to fame last year, becoming the youngest woman elected to Congress by upsetting Rep. Joe Crowley, a longtime fixture in the Democratic caucus, in a Democratic primary.

The self-proclaimed democratic socialist has embraced her outsider status, winning fans by touting her relatively humble roots and frequently mentioning her day job as a bartender in New York City before being sworn in to Congress.
