Kennedy made the swipe at the Democratic lawmaker during an interview with Fox News, saying she is “kind of like Vice President Kamala Harris, but with more bartending experience.” He went on to say that she has “never been accused of being a policy maven.”
AOC reacted on social media, saying “my having been a waitress makes me 1000x more qualified to govern on behalf of working people than whatever lifelong politician nonsense you’ve swung from your whole career.”

Those are 2 exceptions out of how many?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_previous_experience
20 former Govenors. (Although only 17 were State Governors. 2 were Territorial Governors and 1 was a Military Governor)
18 former Senators. One was a Senator after being President. Maybe this can be AOC’s path.
32 with prior military experience.
Only one with no prior military or government experience. (Guess Who?)
