It’s on!
Senator Ted Cruz and Rep. AOC are engaging in a war of words on Twitter.
It began when AOC criticized Pence leading the coronavirus response.
AOC tweeted:
Mike Pence literally does not believe in science.
It is utterly irresponsible to put him in charge of US coronavirus response as the world sits on the cusp of a pandemic.
This decision could cost people their lives. Pence’s past decisions already have
Cruz replied:
As you are speaking as the oracle of science, tell us, what exactly is a Y chromosome?

AOC apparently felt insulted and shot back:
Sen. Cruz, while I understand you judge people’s intelligence by the lowest income they’ve had, I hold awards from MIT Lincoln Lab &others for accomplishments in microbiology.
Secondly, I’m surprised you’re asking about chromosomes given that you don’t even believe in evolution

Cruz was not finished, asking AOC:
We see evolution every day: the Dem party is rapidly evolving into an angry, anti-science socialist ideology. You insulted Pence & I asked you 3 real Qs re science. You ignored all 3 & responded w/ your resume & ad hominem attacks. Instead of insults, address the substance.
2/x To reprise, science Q1 was “tell us, what exactly is a Y chromosome?”
3/x Science Q2 was “at what age of gestation does science tell us that an unborn child feels physical pain?”
4/x And Science Q3 was “of the 195 countries on planet Earth, which country produced the greatest total reduction in CO2 emissions in 2019?”
5/x I await you’re engagement on the actual substance, as a colleague as you noted, hopefully without the insults.
