AOC slams JD Vance as ‘full of s**t’ over puppy joke about her in Wisconsin in fundraising email
WISCONSIN, MINNESOTA: Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez escalated her long-running feud with Vice President JD Vance this week, blasting him in a provocative fundraising email that branded the Republican as "full of s**t."
The Bronx Democrat’s broadside came just hours after Vance appeared at a steel fabrication plant in La Crosse, Wisconsin, where he asked attendees to join him in prayer for victims of a mass shooting in neighboring Minnesota.

JD you’re such a kiss ass - if Trump said puppies were edible, you’d ask for the recipe.

While speaking at Mid-City Steel, JD Vance recounted a conversation with President Donald Trump. “We were having lunch yesterday and the president said, ‘JD, I don’t know how I did it. I actually got the Democrats to come out in defense of crime.’
The 41-year-old told the audience, “It’s the craziest thing. If Donald Trump came out tomorrow and said he really likes puppies, you’d have AOC come out and say, ‘Puppies are terrible.’” The joke drew laughter from the crowd.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sparks backlash for calling JD Vance ‘full of s**t’
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's campaign wasted little time striking back. Her team sent out a fundraising appeal to supporters, accusing Vance of spreading “baseless lies” about her during his Wisconsin stop.
The message also highlighted an X (formerly Twitter) post from the account @CalltoActivism that mocked the vice president, saying, “JD you’re such a kiss a** — if Trump said puppies were edible, you’d ask him for the recipe.”
The congresswoman then pivoted to her usual rallying cry, urging donors to contribute as little as $5 to continue her fight against “the oligarchy.” The email’s coarse language, including calling Vance “full of s**t,” drew swift backlash from Republicans, who accused Ocasio-Cortez of exploiting the dust-up for political gain.
The Republican National Committee quickly weighed in, with spokeswoman Kiersten Pels blasting Ocasio-Cortez’s tactics as a sign of desperation. “
It’s no wonder that AOC has resorted to grifting off cheap insults,” Pels told The New York Post. “Democrats’ favorability is at rock bottom because they’ve abandoned working Americans in favor of defending crime and fighting for illegal aliens.”
The bitter exchange is the latest in an ongoing series of clashes between the two high-profile politicians.
Vance has previously ridiculed speculation that Ocasio-Cortez might consider a presidential run in 2028, dismissing the idea as “the stuff of nightmares.” With both figures thriving on confrontation and attention, their rivalry shows no signs of cooling anytime soon.
