AOC calls Tucker Carlson ‘trash’ for saying she is not a woman of colour

The Fox News host Tucker Carlson attacked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday night, claiming the US congresswoman was not a woman of colour.

"She's a rich entitled white lady," he said.

In return, the New York Democrat, popularly known as AOC, said: "This is the type of stuff you say when your name starts with a P and ends with dejo."

Dictionary.com defines pendejo as "a mildly vulgar insult for 'asshole' or 'idiot' in Spanish".

"Once again," Ocasio-Cortez added, "the existence of a wife or daughters doesn't make a man good. And this one is basura."

Basura is Spanish for "trash".

She also accused Carlson of sexual harassment.
