Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted back at President Donald Trump Sunday after he agreed with comments she made that there is a “very real risk” he will be re-elected in 2020 if Democrats don’t impeach him.

Ocasio-Cortez believes Democrats will lose the 2020 election if Trump is not impeached, according to an interview Sunday with Jonathan Karl on ABC News’s “This Week.” Trump quoted her on Twitter after the interview, saying that he agrees Democrats have a risk of losing to him.

“Opening an impeachment inquiry is exactly what we must do,” according to Ocasio-Cortez’s response to Trump on Twitter. She ended her tweet with a hand-waving emoji. (RELATED: ‘She Literally Ran’: Potential Challenger Say Ocasio-Cortez Snubbed Debate Request)


Ocasio-Cortez also said that Democrats have to choose a progressive 2020 nominee. If not, the risk of losing to Trump is real, according to her interview Sunday.

The 29-year-old has been vocal about impeaching Trump, and she called impeachment a “constitutional responsibility” in an earlier interview, according to Fox News.
