President Trump compared Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Eva Perón in a new book, American Carnage, saying that though he first saw the New York congresswoman “ranting and raving like a lunatic on a street corner” and thinks “she knows nothing”, she has “a certain talent,” The Guardian reports.
Said Trump: “That’s Evita.”
“Perón, known popularly as Evita, was an actor married to Argentinian president Juan Perón who rose to fame as a champion of working-class and female voters before dying of cancer in 1952, aged 33.”
