Republicans are, like, so obsessed with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. So much so that they’re actually posing with cardboard cutouts of her, you guys:

Nobody: GOP: Let’s pose our older male members next to cardboard cutouts of young female legislators https://t.co/tU0UbeZpf9 — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) April 25, 2019

This seems like something we should preserve for posterity:

Before we go any further, here’s the obligatory kneejerk Krassenbro tweet:

And they call you crazy? — Brian Krassenstein (@krassenstein) April 25, 2019

Well, yes. They also call her stupid. Don’t forget about stupid! See, the thing is, that “older male” Republican posing next to the cardboard cutout of AOC isn’t actually a Republican at all:

*whispers* That's a Democrat. — Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) April 25, 2019

The member in this picture is a Democrat… — (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) April 25, 2019

Ocasio-Cortez apparently doesn't recognize Rep. John Yarmuth, the congressman in that picture. He's a Democrat. pic.twitter.com/MoXzxtX2eS — Peter J. Hasson (@peterjhasson) April 25, 2019

If you look closely at this @AOC tweet – The lawmaker in the picture is a Democrat – Rep John Yarmuth of Kentucky pic.twitter.com/uaskLJAhrH — Jamie Dupree (@jamiedupree) April 25, 2019

That's actually the Kentucky delegation's sole Democrat @RepJohnYarmuth — who was at the Democratic gubernatorial primary debate last night. https://t.co/5YXdQVeE2O — lesley clark (@lesleyclark) April 25, 2019

Hi @AOC, that's a Democrat posing next to a cardboard cutout of you, not a Republican. John Yarmuth is a Democrat in Kentucky's 3rd district. You really missed the mark with this "dunk."https://t.co/wOvGi22MOF pic.twitter.com/OHptV129Gi — Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) April 25, 2019

But we’re not about to miss this opportunity to dunk on her.

Join us, won’t you?

Nobody: AOC: I don’t even care who my colleagues in the House Democratic caucus are https://t.co/oOhX1BrgV7 — Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) April 25, 2019

It literally says that he's a Democrat in the tweet. pic.twitter.com/MMpx2rZT77 — Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) April 25, 2019

Not recognizing your fellow democratic representatives to own the cons. pic.twitter.com/d7pu3jVaAk — neontaster (@neontaster) April 25, 2019

Why would she recognize him, though? It's not like he publicly went to bat for her less than 10 days ago. pic.twitter.com/IjigIP9a1M — neontaster (@neontaster) April 25, 2019

So she doesn’t recognize the Democratic Chairman of the Budget Committee? That is what’s happening here? https://t.co/ud4NyCfZOV — Josh Holmes (@HolmesJosh) April 25, 2019

He's a CURRENT rep. He's the current CHAIRMAN of the budget committee.@AOC is literally the dumbest person in Congress. https://t.co/dT3hYPc3yD — RBe (@RBPundit) April 25, 2019

What does the text of this tweet have to do with the attached picture of your party's Budget Committee chairman posing with a cardboard cutout of you? — Dodd (@Amuk3) April 25, 2019

TLDR: I'm never at work so I didn't recognize my coworker, @RepJohnYarmuth https://t.co/MibNDiAad0 — Kaelan Dorr (@KDORR_USA) April 25, 2019

Nobody: AOC: Accuse a well-known Dem Congressman of sexism because you assumed he was a Republican. — (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) April 25, 2019

The cardboard cutout is a lot deeper than the actual AOC. https://t.co/O0mf1fW2yN — John Hayward (@Doc_0) April 25, 2019

AOC not being familiar with the Budget Committee chairman is actually really on brand. — Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) April 25, 2019

.@AOC: “Why can’t you dummies use CONTEXT CLUES to figure out what I meant to say?” *10 minutes later, @AOC is unable to use context clues to figure out she’s dunking on her colleague* pic.twitter.com/Z9rlHPWkjZ — Boomieleaks (@notwokieleaks) April 25, 2019

The most hilarious part about this is that just a couple minutes prior she was attacking the "GOP" for "bad-faith attacking" her ideas, claiming that they were like "1st grade readers" pic.twitter.com/9hazi9SliR — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) April 25, 2019

I warned you all a while back that you were going to start learning more about the idiotic champagne socialist who "represents" me in Congress. I confess, I did not expect this. https://t.co/xK6YPE1oPf — Dodd (@Amuk3) April 25, 2019

He's a Democrat. Is there anything you won't be wrong about? https://t.co/4qlyxwY3VB — Eric Spencer (@JustEric) April 25, 2019

There is literally nothing she will not be wrong about.

Can’t wait to see her try to dig herself out of this one.

STOP IT! YOU KNOW WHAT SHE MEANT, YOU BUNCHA FIRST GRADERS!! https://t.co/fUJVoGVzpO — Jeryl Bier (@JerylBier) April 25, 2019

Can’t wait to hear tomorrow why she was ACKSHUALLY right https://t.co/Dlq9siJolq — Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) April 25, 2019

She will now say, "when I said 'our' I meant 'Congress's.'" — Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) April 25, 2019

Update:

Well, we may never find out how she’d explain this mistake away, because she went and deleted her tweet. Good thing we had the foresight to grab it.

Sad!
