 [NYPOST] Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal , though she doesn't talk about it much anymore
and other Democratic congresswomen were ruthlessly roasted — including directly by the White House — after they appeared in a cringey ''Choose your fighter'' TikTok clip that quickly went viral.
The 20-second video of progressives was initially posted by cookbook author and influencer Sulhee Jessica Woo to her 5.6 million followers in honor of Women's History Month on Wednesday — leading the Trump administration to troll with its own version of the online trend Thursday.
The White House montage showed President Trump, Vice President JD Vance and other members of the Republican's administration with the caption ''America Chose Its Fighters Last November.''
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was on horseback and Attorney General Pam Bondi was speaking at a presser while border czar Tom Homan was walking away from a helicopter in parts of the clip.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Secretary of State Marco Rubio
...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, Secretary of State in the second Trump administration...
, FBI Director Kash Patel and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick also had cameos in the video.
Meanwhile,
...back at the fist fight, Jake ducked another roundhouse, then parried with his left, then with his right, finally with his chin...
the widely mocked video of the Democratic House members included New York's Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Lauren Underwood of Illinois, Rep. Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, Rep. Judy Chu of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas and Rep. Susie Lee of Nevada, along with fun facts about them and music from Super Smash Bros in the background.
AOC, 35, revealed she is a Trekkie while Clark, 61, who is also the minority whip, said she doesn't like hair dye. Crockett, 43, disclosed she's not a morning person while Underwood, 38, insisted she doesn't like balloons.
But the short clip failed to hit the mark.
''Democrats
 ...every time you hear the phrase white people , white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
Not Be Cringe Challenge,'' the Trump administration's Rapid Response account wrote on X. ''Level: Impossible.''
''The problem isn't policy failures, economic anxiety, or a general sense that everything is coming apart at the seams,'' political writer Matt Lewis wrote. 'No, no — the real issue is that voters just don't know how much fun their representatives are!''
Meanwhile,
...back at the fist fight, Jake ducked another roundhouse, then parried with his left, then with his right, finally with his chin...
Punchbowl News news hound Ben Brody called it ''hilariously cringey.''
''One of the worst parts about this: the Choose Your Fighter trend was popular on TikTok like 3 years ago,'' journalist Peter Hamby wrote.
