Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday tweeted a holiday message that "linked the Christmas nativity story to the plight of refugees," reports The Hill.

"You are constantly making headlines for all the wrong reasons," wrote one tweeter. "Please try and read a book once in a while. I seriously can't believe you were actually elected to Congress."
