Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been causing obnoxious mischief in recent days.

The New York Democrat has been floated as a potential 2028 primary challenger to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. She doesn’t like White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

Miller has been on a tear over the last several weeks. The Trump administration views activist left-wing judges as trying to hamstring the president’s agenda.

On Sunday, AOC took to her Instagram account to take a swipe at Miller. She mocked him for being short in her view. She said ridiculing insecure masculinity was one way to cut political opponents down to size.

“I’ve never seen that guy in real life, but he looks like he’s, like, 4’10. And he looks like he is angry about the fact that he’s 4’10. And he looks like he is so mad that he is 4’10 that he’s taken that anger out at any other population possible.”

Miller laughed it off during a Monday interview with Fox News hostess Laura Ingraham. He swiped back and clarified he was actually 5’10.

AOC initially doubled down on her comments. She said she couldn’t believe Fox News had him watch the clip. She posted to X that she was crying.

But her comments actually backfired with her leftist supporters. Some accused her of body-shaming Miller and short folks in general.

As a result, on Tuesday, AOC tried to clarify her statements. She laughably claimed she wasn’t talking about Miller’s physical height. She said she meant his spiritual height.

“I want to express my love for the short king community. I don’t believe in body shaming. I am talking about how big or small someone is on the inside.”

The Congresswoman went on to explain her original statement. She said it was intended as a bizarre metaphor for character. She pivoted to an even more confusing concept she termed spiritual height.

“Like, for example, I have no idea how tall Andrew Tate is. No idea at all. But that guy looks to me like 5’3. Whereas, physically, men of smaller stature can come across — they are spiritually six-foot. If you’re a good dad, if you stand with women, if you’re not belittling immigrants, you’re like 6’3 spiritually.”

What makes this especially amusing is AOC’s own history. She previously criticized people over allegedly policing her body. She made allegations in 2021 after her Tax the Rich dress controversy.

“I and my body have been so heavily and relentlessly policed from all corners politically since the moment I won my election.”

As always with Democrats, it’s different when they do it.

The woke Democrat dogma surrounding triggering people came back to bite her. She got a taste of her own medicine.

AOC’s attack on Miller was vicious and personal. She mocked his physical appearance repeatedly. She claimed his height made him angry at other populations.

This is classic projection from the left. Democrats constantly accuse Republicans of the things Democrats actually do. AOC attacks people’s physical appearance while claiming Republicans are the mean ones.

Miller handled the situation perfectly. He laughed it off and corrected her false claim about his height. He didn’t get upset or demand an apology.

This made AOC look even worse. She appeared petty and small. Her attack fell flat because Miller refused to play the victim.

Then her own supporters turned on her. Leftists who obsess over body positivity suddenly realized AOC violated their own rules. She body-shamed someone based on height.

This forced AOC into a humiliating backtrack. She invented the absurd concept of spiritual height. She claimed she was never talking about physical height at all.

Nobody believes this obvious lie. Her original comments were clearly about Miller’s physical stature. She said he looked 4’10 multiple times.

The spiritual height explanation is pure damage control. AOC got caught violating leftist standards and had to invent an excuse. Her clarification made things worse by sounding ridiculous.

AOC’s hypocrisy is stunning. She complains about people policing her body. But she has no problem mocking a man’s height to score political points.

She claims to oppose body-shaming. But she engaged in exactly that behavior against Miller. She only backed down when her own side called her out.

This incident shows the emptiness of progressive values. Democrats preach tolerance and acceptance. But they abandon those principles instantly when attacking political opponents.

AOC thought she could mock Miller’s appearance without consequences. She was wrong. Even her leftist base has limits on acceptable behavior.

The congresswoman’s attack reveals her true character. She is petty, mean-spirited, and willing to engage in personal attacks. Her spiritual height explanation is laughable nonsense.

Miller comes out looking dignified and above the fray. AOC comes out looking small and hypocritical. Her attack backfired completely.
