Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threw her hands in the air when CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked if she was going to primary Senator Chuck Schumer.

Bernie Sanders witnessed AOC’s reaction and, recognizing this as his specialty, responded with a dramatic flailing fit of his own in her defense. Somehow, the conversation eventually shifted to climate change — and that’s where the hilarity began. (WATCH)

It’s hard not to wish there were a way to mute them both permanently. These two self-proclaimed fighters against the oligarchy were easily triggered by a simple question that’s been on many people’s minds.

If you know the song, sing along: “Don’t cry for me, I’m a Latina!”

It was surprising how Sanders jumped in as if someone had said, “Look, someone else’s money!” He took AOC under his wing as his protégé but now seems frustrated that she’s getting so much attention.

Sure, she’s a socialist — but she’s also easy on the eyes.

Posters suggest she definitely has her sights set on Senator Schumer’s seat. Some even say AOC aspires to be president someday.

A Senate seat would certainly be a crucial stepping stone toward the highest office in America. However, she’ll have to go through fellow New Yorker Schumer to get there, and he’s unlikely to give up his power without a fight.
