Twitter wasn't having it either, with many of AOC's supporters going after Trump and what they saw as his derogatory view on women. One tweeted: "Why does Trump have such a problem with women, and especially women he knows are smart and articulate? And why does he think all women are so 'beneath' him...? Why is he threatened by Savannah, Lesley, Kristine?" Another helpfully reminded social media of AOC: "Yes, and she didn't pay someone to take her entry exams..." in a reference to Mary Trump's book where she revealed her uncle Donald Trump paid someone to take the SATs for him. 

A third pointed out that AOC not only had degrees, but "...graduated cum laude with a double major in international relations and economics — two things Trump has thrown in the garbage." A fourth tied Trump's comments to his views on non-college degree holders, saying: "Instead of inspiring his followers to better themselves, to learn marketable skills, or to just be better members of society, he mocks those who have put in the work and achieved their goals."
