Celebrity socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has blasted Ivanka Trump during a weekend Twitter meltdown.
Ocasio-Cortez attacked the first daughter, claiming she shouldn't be attending the G20 summit with her father because she's not "a qualified diplomat."
The New York Democrat complained to her Twitter followers late Saturday and shared a video posted by a BBC reporter of Ivanka at the summit.
The short clip shows Ivanka Trump alongside her father in a discussion at G20 that included British Prime Minister Theresa May, French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other leaders.
It may be shocking to some, but being someone’s daughter actually isn’t a career qualification.

It hurts our diplomatic standing when the President phones it in & the world moves on.
The US needs our President working the G20. Bringing a qualified diplomat couldn’t hurt either. https://t.co/KCZMXJ8FD9

Prior to her father taking office in 2017, Ivanka Trump, 37, was an executive vice president with the Trump Organization.
While other critics besides Ocasio-Cortez have criticized the president for giving roles in his administration to his daughter and her husband, Jared Kushner, Ocasio-Cortez has faced complaints regarding her boyfriend, Riley Roberts.

Earlier this year it was revealed that Roberts had received $6,000 from a political action committee linked to Ocasio-Cortez during her congressional campaign.
The Federal Election Commission recently told the PAC, Justice Democrats, that it has opened an investigation into the allegation as well as other claims, Independent Journal Review reported.
That same month, Ocasio-Cortez faced ethics questions after reports that Roberts had received a congressional email account.
Then more allegations followed.
