"Oh that's right, almost forgot: GOP works for the corporate CEOs showering themselves in multi-million bonuses; not the actual working people whose wages + healthcare they're ripping off for profit," Ocasio-Cortez said.
You’re the GOP Minority Whip. How do you not know how marginal tax rates work?

Some of Ocasio-Cortez's supporters said:
- "snipe his a**"
- "Kick his cane"
- "She's got better aim than [the Democratic terrorist who shot Scalise, nearly killing him], that's for sure."
How did Scalise respond?
He took screenshots of the vile threats and, replying to Ocasio-Cortez, said he would like to continue their tax debate on the floor of the "People's House," rather than engaging with her "radical followers."Hi @AOC. Happy to continue this debate on the Floor of the People’s House, but it’s clearly not productive to engage here with some of your radical followers. #StayClassy
