Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is seeing red.
The rookie New York Democrat tweeted and quickly deleted a post Thursday that misidentified Kentucky's only Democratic member of Congress as a Republican "older male."
Ocasio-Cortez's since-deleted tweet was referencing a post issued by the Republican Party of Kentucky featuring a photo of Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., grinning next to a cardboard cutout of the Bronx-born Democrat.
"GOP: Let's pose our older male members next to cardboard cutouts of young female legislators," Ocasio-Cortez posted in response to the Kentucky GOP's post.
The Kentucky Republican Party's post accused Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive Democrats of attempting to force Yarmuth to "bend to their radical, extremist will" by suggesting he could face a primary challenge in 2020 if he doesn't voice support for "Medicare for All" legislation.
Within an hour, Ocasio-Cortez, 29, had deleted the post following pushback from Republican social media users who pointed out that Yarmuth is one of her Democratic colleagues.
"Maybe if @AOC spent more time interacting with lawmakers and less time making coloring books, she'd recognize the other socialist Democrats in her caucus," the House Republican campaign committee tweeted.
A spokesman for Ocasio-Cortez declined to comment.
Yarmuth, who's the chairman of the House Budget Committee, did not return a request for comment via a spokesman.
Republicans have a peculiar obsession with using cutouts of Ocasio-Cortez to mock or belittle her left-wing views.
At an after party for the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland in February, Republicans printed out an Ocasio-Cortez cutout and scribbled "pendeja" _ "dumbass" in Spanish _ on her face with a sharpie pen.
