Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is under fire after saying she will 'run train on the progressive agenda', using a slang phrase many define as a group of men performing sexual acts on a woman in rapid succession.

Ocasio-Cortez, 29, was talking to the Washington Post about how frequently she is covered by conservative media news outlets when she used the phrase.

Now, in an ironic turn of events, right-wing media is once again up in arms about something Ocasio-Cortez has said.

Ocasio-Cortez was specifically discussing a fake nude photo of her that circulated on right-wing media when the phrase came up.

The photo, which was initially posted on Reddit, showed a woman's feet propped up against a bathtub. Some claimed they could see Ocasio-Cortez's naked body in the reflection of the faucet.

But the picture was quickly debunked after porn star Sydney Leathers took ownership for the photo.

'You can tell that they're getting into hysterics because now you're getting into my actual body, which is definitely crossing a level,' Ocasio-Cortez said of the photo.

'They're out of all their artillery. The nude is supposed to be like the bazooka. Dude, you're all out of bullets, you're all out of bombs, you're all out of this stuff. What have you got left?'

'I'm six days into the term, and you already used all your ammo. So enjoy being exhausted for the next two years while we run train on the progressive agenda.'

Right-wing pundits quickly caught wind of Ocasio-Cortez's interview, and blasted her for using the crude phrase.

There are actually two definitions to 'run train' on Urban Dictionary, with the 'top definition' being 'to "gangbang" a girl with several friends'

'Alex from the Bronx should probably know what "run train" means and why this is hilariously terrible,' tweeted Ben Shapiro, the editor-in-chief of The Daily Caller.

Shapiro appeared to be referencing a long-running claim by the right that Ocasio-Cortez cannot call herself a native of the Bronx because she attended high school in an affluent New York suburb.

Ocasio-Cortez, who shared that very fact on her own campaign website, has dismissed the claims that she lied about her working class background and noted that going to public school in Yorktown informed her opinions on income inequality.

The second definition reads: 'To call your friends to preform various unforgivable acts of a sexual nature on one female in rapid succession.'

But it appears the phrase is also used among gamers, with one definition - written in 2009 - explaining that it means to "'do work" on players in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Another definition, written in 2011, claims it means to 'do work on multiple people in a game or anything that has competition. IT IS NOT ANYTHING SEXUAL.'

Ocasio-Cortez has yet to comment on the newest controversy and whether she was aware of one of the phrase's definitions.

But just hours before the Twitter fury began, Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to respond to Paul Krugman about all the 'attention' she has been getting in the media.

Krugman, a Nobel laureate, tweeted that while Ocasio-Cortez's 'shocking rise makes a good story' he believed she was getting all the attention in a pool of 'lots of impressive freshman'.

'I'm uneasy about it too,' Ocasio-Cortez responded on Wednesday. 'It's stressful and scary, but it's also out of my control.

'I could've sat there quietly as the far right tore me to shreds (they were guaranteed to do so the moment a woman like me won my primary), or I could fight back+not let them.'

'I chose to define myself instead of allowing them to take that away from me. And that's why they're mad.

'The best thing I can do is try to focus that attention on the most urgent issues of our time: climate change, good gov, jobs, wages, justice.'
