Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused White House counselor Kellyanne Conway of ‘implying that [she is] less Christian’ by not tweeting about the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka.

During an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, Conway hit out at the Democratic freshman congresswoman for not reacting on Twitter to the attacks in Sri Lanka which claimed the lives of more than 250 people and wounded hundreds of others.

Conway was responding to Tapper’s question about President Trump’s controversial remarks from August 2017 in which he said there were ‘very fine people on both sides’ during the Charlottesville riots.

‘I see officials who get a lot of airtime and ink, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, congresswoman, who tweets many times about the mosque but never once about Sri Lanka​,’ Conway said.

On Twitter, Ocasio-Cortez accused Conway of ‘stoking suspicions’ about her Christianity.

‘On Easter I was away from tech visiting my grandmother in Puerto Rico, which continues to suffer from the White House’s incompetent disaster response,’ the Bronx native tweeted on Sunday.

‘Are you trying to imply that I am less Christian?

‘What was the point of you bringing this up on national TV?

‘​You are using this as an excuse to stoke suspicion around my Christianity + faith life, @KellyannePolls​.’

'Are you trying to imply that I am less Christian?' AOC tweeted at Conway on Sunday

The star Democratic lawmaker then slammed the Trump administration's 'incompetent' response to Hurricane Maria, which left more than 3,000 Puerto Ricans dead

'How do you spin ignoring and neglecting the largest mass death of people on American soil in decades?' AOC asked Conway

She also defended the use of the term 'Easter worshippers' rather than 'Christians'

AOC called on the Trump administration to 'welcome immigrants fleeing religious persecution'

Ocasio-Cortez continued her Twitter thread, writing: ‘The Sri Lanka massacre was horrifying. No one should be targeted for their religion.

‘If you’re so moved, let’s do more to welcome immigrants fleeing religious persecution.​’

Conway also hit out on Twitter at former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for their reference to ‘Easter worshippers’ rather than ‘Christians’ as those targeted in Sri Lanka.

Ocasio-Cortez reacted to Conway, saying that the term ‘Easter worshippers’ is important since ‘Easter is the holiest day of the year for Christians, & to be targeted on Easter highlights how heinous the attack was – just as saying yesterday’s #SanDiego shooting was on Passover.’

On Saturday, a gunman attacked a synagogue in Poway, California just outside of San Diego, killing one person and wounding three others.

The attack took place as Jewish worshippers were observing the last day of Passover.

The ‘disaster response’ in Puerto Rico is a reference to the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, which left more than 3,000 islanders dead and caused more than $90billion worth of damage.
