Two words from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is all it took to make Republicans angry and shout at her.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was officially elected the new House Speaker in a majority vote by the House of Representatives on the first day of the 116th Congress.
While Alexandria was voting for Nancy Pelosi, some GOP congressmen started booing her.

When Alexandria heard GOP members’ reaction, she looked at them and said: “I’m sorry!” — while several Democrats next to her started laughing.
“Don’t hate me cause you ain’t me, fellas”
Over 200 members voted for Nancy Pelosi today, yet the GOP only booed one: me.
Don’t hate me cause you ain’t me, fellas 💁🏽♀️ https://t.co/kLor9A0TWa
