Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez got into a Twitter tiff with former Republican Gov. Mike Huckabee, telling him to leave the “false statements” to his daughter the White House press secretary.

The online spat started when Huckabee, whose daughter Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the president’s main spokeswoman, mocked Ocasio-Cortez for comparing her out-of-nowhere election win in June to the landmark moon landing.

“Ocasio-Cortez compares her election to moon landing. Huh? Big difference,” Huckabee wrote Sunday, linking to a news report about her speech.

“Moon landing was LUNAR, not LOONEY; Moon landing done by ppl who knew what they were doing … those who elected someone who thought there were 3 branches of Congress did NOT,” he said.

Ocasio-Cortez, who knocked off longtime political power broker Rep. Joe Crowley in June’s Democratic primary, shot back at the one-time Arkansas governor shortly afterward.

“A Green New Deal will take a level of ambition + innovation on the scale of the moon landing. We’ve been done it before, and can do it again. Leave the false statements to Sarah Huckabee. She’s much better at it,” she posted on her Twitter account. “Also, you haven’t been a Governor of any state for 10+ years now.”

Speaking at an event Friday hosted by the Sunshine Movement, an environmental group, Ocasio-Cortez compared her unlikely victory to the 1969 moon landing and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

“We went to the moon. We electrified the nation. We established civil rights. We enfranchised the country. We dig deep, and we did it. We did it when no one else thought that we could. That’s what we did when so many of us won an election this year,” she said.
