Instead of offering serious leadership or solutions, she\u2019s been stirring up drama and indulging in the kind of obnoxious political antics that perfectly sum up the modern Democratic Party \u2014 all noise, no results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most Democrats, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) can\u2019t stand White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller \u2014 especially as he\u2019s spent the past few weeks calling out activist left-wing judges who keep trying to block President Trump\u2019s agenda from the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But instead of engaging with Miller\u2019s arguments, AOC did what she always does: went for a cheap personal jab. On Sunday, she hopped on Instagram to mock Miller for being \u201cshort,\u201d claiming that poking fun at what she called \u201cinsecure masculinity\u201d was a way to put the right in its place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never seen that guy in real life, but he looks like he\u2019s, like, 4\u201910. And he looks like he is angry about the fact that he\u2019s 4\u201910. And he looks like he is so mad that he is 4\u201910 that he\u2019s taken that anger out at any other population possible,\u201d the \u201cSquad\u201d leader claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miller brushed off the jab during a Monday appearance on The Ingraham Angle, laughing at the insult and pointing out that he\u2019s actually 5\u201910\u201d \u2014 not exactly \u201cshort\u201d by anyone\u2019s standards. But instead of letting it go, AOC doubled down, feigning outrage that Fox News had the nerve to show Miller the clip of her mocking him in the first place. \u201cI\u2019m crying,\u201d she&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AOC\/status\/1975376263964664144\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">posted<\/a>&nbsp;to X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in a twist of poetic justice, AOC\u2019s cheap shot didn\u2019t just draw ridicule from conservatives \u2014 it blew up in her own face. Her leftist followers turned on her, accusing the self-proclaimed champion of inclusivity of, yes, body-shaming Stephen Miller and \u201cshort people\u201d everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cornered by her own outrage mob, AOC tried to clean up the mess on Tuesday with one of the most ridiculous spin attempts in recent memory, insisting she wasn\u2019t talking about Miller\u2019s physical height but his&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/news\/aoc-attempts-bizarre-spiritual-height-171711763.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cspiritual height.\u201d<\/a>&nbsp;You can\u2019t make this stuff up \u2014 when the woke mob eats its own, it\u2019s always a sight to behold:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cI want to express my love for the short king community,\u201d she claimed, attempting to clarify her comments. \u201cI don\u2019t believe in body shaming.

No idea at all. But that guy looks to me like 5\u20193.
