Creepy dude and conservative media reporter Eddie Scarry decided that he was going to spend a cold Thursday afternoon posting a creepshot of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter. His biting analysis of the image: Because Ocasio-Cortez was in possession of both a jacket and a coat, there is no way she could be “a girl who struggles.”
Hill staffer sent me this pic of Ocasio-Cortez they took just now. I’ll tell you something: that jacket and coat don’t look like a girl who struggles.

They posted photos of her childhood home, brought her college education into question, and accused her of lying about being from the Bronx. Recently, conservatives on Twitter obsessively scrutinized her claim that she couldn’t afford to move to D.C. until her congressional salary kicked in. Scarry’s point, it seems, is that, because Ocasio-Cortez is wearing work-appropriate clothing to Congress, as opposed to rags or a potato sack I guess, that she has never struggled financially.
Obviously that’s dumb.
Scarry quickly got ratioed, earning thousands of responses in under an hour. Plenty of people were delighted to point out just how incorrect he was, and remind him of all the other embarrassing and gross things he’s done in the past, including posting photos of a different woman’s foot. Others on Twitter just mocked Scarry.
it's like watching a sad Black Mirror-esque slot machine but we all lose
