Fury at US councillor’s ‘bimbo’ jibe on Twitter

A councillor who called new Democratic US Representative Alexandria OcasioCortez a “bimbo” on Twitter has unleashed a firestorm of criticism.

Scott Dunn of Richardson, Texas, also slammed Ocasio-Cortez, a social mediasavvy star of the Democratic Party’s left wing, saying she had “nothing between her ear (sic)” for criticising President Donald Trump’s state of the union speech.

Responses to the legislator came crashing down. Dunn issued an apology and quickly deleted his Twitter account in the aftermath of his exchange. –
