70. He was literally on MSNBC this morning

Jan 2019

Said he would not vote for Pelosi and talked about other things like Medicare for all like coverage.

Literally lots of articles about:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2018/11/17/ny-congressman-elect-reaffirms-he-wont-back-pelosi/amp/

He has said it from the beginning.

AOC was getting criticism from the beginning, unrelenting criticism: insinuating she was ignorant even stupid, didn’t deserve to be elected and is somehow against Democrats.

Men saying the same thing on live TV and in the print press barely get a mention and many have no idea who they are.
Sorry, not sure how two freshman reps from NY could have possibly be treated differently given the man holds more extreme positions than the women yet it would be understandable if someone presumed AOC was a right wing plant given the amount of press and animosity stired up about AOC actions.
