Such rhetoric, the freshman congresswoman said in a tweet, “puts me in danger.”Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) denounced the “uncalled for” language used by a college Republican group after it labeled her a “domestic terrorist” in a fundraising email. “My fellow students often tell me that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a ‘role model’ and that America should be more like socialist Europe. We need your help to stop the brainwashing!” elaborated Tom Ferrall, the chairman of the group, in the email. “Multiple ppl have been arrested trying to harm me, Ilhan, & others,” she added, referring to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). In a statement provided to The Guardian, the group apologized to Ocasio-Cortez for the “use of unacceptable language in this email.”“We do not approve of the message conveyed,” it added.
