Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest congresswoman ever, was outsmarted when asked why politicians wear suits all the time in professional settings.
The New York congresswoman was speaking before the House Judiciary Committee when a Republican procedurally submitted a question about why politicians wear suits whenever they deliver remarks in the chamber. AOC, previously outspoken and confident, was stopped in her tracks, quietly conceding that she didn't know the answer. As the majority of her colleagues chuckled, she sat there silently, her face as red as Donald Trump's economy. After an awkward silence, the Committee Chair proceeded without answering the question.
This moment was another illustration of the political divide between the Washington elites and Ocasio-Cortez, who regularly speaks out against the establishment. Though the congresswoman managed to outshine her peers in countless debates and speeches, she was bested in the battle of the suits.
