Now according to the dumb bartender, Ocasio-CORTEZ says that calling her for what she is (a communist) is white supremacy or something. She even tweeted about it:
Calling people who believe in democracy, civil + economic rights, and racial justice “communist” has a long + rich history w/ white supremacy in the US.
It was one of the preferred smears against integrating schools, & one of the main attacks segregationists used against MLK Jr: https://t.co/pNdpD8sjWY pic.twitter.com/mTRNj4jjJA

So calling her, Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar and other communist Democrats for what they really are is now considered white supremacy.

Ocasio-Cortez’s tweets came as she faced criticism that her ambitious policy proposals resembled those of communist regimes. Specifically, the “Green New Deal” and “Medicare-for-all” would vastly expand the government’s involvement in the economy, prompting conservatives to compare her agenda to socialism.
Conservatives have also alluded to socialism when criticizing politicians such as Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
The New York congresswoman has a history of finding bias in apparently neutral activities. She, for example, previously released a video in which she suggested that New Yorkers took a “colonial approach to environmentalism” when they grew something like cauliflower instead of Yucca — a plant often found in Mexico and Guatemala — because doing so was “too hard.”
“That is why a lot of communities of color get resistant to certain environmentalist movements because they come with the colonial lens on them,” she said.
