WASHINGTON ― Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) had some fighting words for President Donald Trump after he seemingly took a swipe at her and her fellow progressives who describe themselves as democratic socialists. “We are born free, and we will stay free. Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country,” Trump said in his State of the Union address on Tuesday evening, drawing boos and chants of “USA” from GOP lawmakers in the House chamber. Democrats in attendance had a more varied response, however. Ocasio-Cortez, the newly elected millennial progressive from New York, flashed a big smile but remained seated. Fellow democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) sat stone-faced. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) also remained seated behind Trump but clapped politely. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), meanwhile, stood up and clapped along with several of his fellow Senate Democrats.
