She apparently is the only one they booed.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as usual, fought back immediately.
Newly minted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who has attracted endless amounts of attention after becoming the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, was jeered as she cast her vote for Nancy Pelosi as House speaker Thursday.
Then the 29-year-old congresswoman responded on social media, where she has become something of a star.
Ocasio-Cortez quote-tweeted a video showing some GOP lawmakers booing her as she entered her vote. Pelosi (D-Calif.) was elected in a 220-192 vote over House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).
“Over 200 members voted for Nancy Pelosi today, yet the GOP only booed one: me,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter. “Don’t hate me cause you ain’t me, fellas,” she added, along with an emoji of a woman flipping her hand.
It was perhaps Ocasio-Cortez’s most Ocasio-Cortez response ever, and it had been retweeted tens of thousands of times by Friday morning.

The only one they booed. Something about her just totally freaks out right wingers. A smart woman of Puerto Rican descent who won’t back down. A courageous left progressive who fights for what is right and just.
The R Congressmen mostly fear a smart, courageous woman.
They better get used to their fears, because AOC is going to be around kicking their asses for a long time.
Bonus tweet. Congresswomen dance too!
