35. How dare she have an ego.

A young woman of color who took on an established Democrat and won, energized Democrats across the country with her savvy use of social media, regularly pushes back against the racist Republican smear machine, advocates landmark action on the biggest issue of her time in a way that previous Congresses have not done, used the Cohen hearings to prepare the case against the president...all in 2 months of serving in Congress.

By all means, let's talk about her ego. That's so important, right? Such a terrible flaw in Washington.

Seriously, find a new talking point.
