Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) took issue with President Donald Trump’s claim that he doesn’t have “a racist bone” in his body.

When asked about Trump’s comments on July 16 about five minutes after he posted it on Twitter, the freshman congresswoman told TMZ: “I think he’s got a racist brain in his head, and I think he’s got a racist heart in his chest.”
