“Rep DeSantis, it seems you‘re confused as to ‘whatever I am,’” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “I am a Puerto Rican woman. It‘s strange you don’t know what that is, given that ~75,000 Puerto Ricans have relocated to Florida in the 10 mos since María.”
“But I’m sure these new FL voters appreciate your comments!” she added.
