Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Ignored Paul Ryan's 'Little Tips' For Congress, And Twitter Loved It

Former House Speaker Paul Ryans (R-Wis.) revelation that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) ignored his few little tips on how to be a good member of Congress has set Twitter alight.

Ryan said Tuesday during a dinner in Janesville , Wisconsin, that he attempted to give the 29-year-old lawmaker some advice about how to act when arriving at Congress.

I talked to her, AOC, everybody calls her AOC. Shes the youngest person now there and I gave her just a few little tips on just being a good member of Congress, new, explained Ryan, who was elected to the House when he was 28.

I dont think she really listened to a thing I said, the former vice presidential candidate added with a laugh. He said he had advised Ocasio-Cortez to take it easy, just watch things for a while, dont ruffle, you know, see how it works first.

Ocasio-Cortez hasnt laid low as a representative her first few months have included fighting for the Green New Deal and grilling Michael Cohen during a Senate hearing. Ryan has left Congress and has joined the board of directors of Fox Corporation.
