The immigration debate in Washington has gone below the belt.
A top White House aide trolled far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Monday night with a sexually suggestive insult after the socialist congresswoman mocked deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller’s height.
“Sounds like @AOC is often used to the shorter things in life,” White House communications director Steven Cheung posted on his official X account late Monday — complete with a pinching hand emoji.
The savage barb came after Ocasio-Cortez — who has been engaged to her fiancé, Riley Roberts, since 2022 — took aim at Miller’s stature over the weekend, describing him on social media as a “4’10” “clown.”
“I’ve never seen that guy in real life, but he looks like he’s, like, 4’10”,” the Bronx and Queens lawmaker said of Miller in an Instagram Live video.
“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 has taken that anger out at any other population possible.”
Miller later clapped back at the jibe — revealing he actually stands a full foot taller than the Democrat suggested.
“Well, we knew that her brain didn’t work,” Miller told Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” on Monday night.
“Now we know that her eyes don’t work. So, the, she’s a mess, right? What a train wreck. What a train wreck.
“Every time she’s on TV, Republican approval ratings go up, Democratic approval ratings go down,” he continued. “That lady is a walking nightmare.”
Ocasio-Cortez, 35, continued the trash talk, writing in a follow-up X post that she was “crying” over Miller addressing her initial height criticism, saying: “I cannot believe they aired this and made him listen to it live.”
Miller, 40, has widely been credited — and blamed — for enforcing President Trump’s hard-line immigration policy, while Cheung, 43, has a history of pugnacious encounters with members of the media.
In May, Cheung took issue with HuffPost White House reporter S.V. Date, who had asked why transcripts of President Trump’s public appearances weren’t available on the official website.
“You must be truly f–king stupid if you think we’re not transparent,” Cheung yelled at the time. “The president regularly does multiple press engagements per day and they are streamed live on multiple platforms. We’ve even granted low-level outlets like HuffPo [sic] additional access to events, because we’re so transparent. For anyone to think otherwise proves they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Stop beclowning yourself.”
The previous month, Cheung referred to Daily Beast honcho Joanna Coles as a “piece of s—” with a “pea-sized brain” after she speculated about Trump’s health during the funeral of Pope Francis.
