After one of the most boring Super Bowls ever played came to a merciful conclusion on Sunday night, Rep. Dan Crenshaw — the former Navy Seal who got into it with “Saturday Night Live’s” Pete Davidson — spiced things up a bit with this timely jab at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

The Texas Republican was, of course, referring to New York Democrat Ocasio-Cortez’s proposal for a 70% marginal tax rate on all income above $10 million a year. Obviously, Crenshaw was throwing a playful joke in her direction, but it went over about as well the Rams offense.

“I’ve seen politicians make it clear they don’t understand sports, and I’ve seen ones make it clear they don’t understand taxes, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone do both at once,” Princeton history professor Kevin Kruse wrote.

“Congrats!”

Former NFL star Donte Stallworth also chimed in. “I’ve read that tweet 5x and I still don’t know wtf he’s talking about,” he tweeted.

It took a few hours, but Ocasio-Cortez, too, responded:

Yes, owners would certainly be in the crosshairs of any plan to increase taxes on the wealthy, whether Ocasio-Cortez’s floated plan or Elizabeth Warren’s proposal to put a 2% annual tax on the 75,000 wealthiest U.S. households or Sen. Bernie Sanders’s scheme to ratchet up the taxation of large estates.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is worth $6.6 billion, according to Forbes, while Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke, who is married to Walmart WMT, +0.90% heiress Ann Walton, is worth $8.5 billion.

There were a few players on the field during the Super Bowl who would certainly be impacted, as well, including defensive tackle Aaron Donald of the Rams and his $40 million salary. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s total earnings in 2018, Forbes estimates, were around $29 million.

This isn’t the first time Crenshaw has called out Ocasio-Cortez. He reportedly told attendees at a Turning Point USA event that he’d welcome the opportunity to debate his fellow congressional newcomer and ask the questions journalists should be asking. “When you’re throwing out such radical ideas, asking for a little bit of explanation is probably the best way to debate them because there is no explanation,” he said. “These are not well-thought-out ideas. I don’t like being hyperbolic in my language, but they’re dangerous. They’re dangerous ideas.”

At any rate, we might look for more of the same between these two, each seen as a rising star, in the coming years.
