Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) quipped Thursday that it was “breaking” that they had lunch together after a CNN reporter tweeted that two sources had confirmed their meeting.
“BREAKING: We had labneh,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. Labneh is a Middle Eastern yogurt spread.
“BREAKING: We also had iced tea!” Warren followed up.
Warren is one of many contenders for the 2020 Democratic nomination and has positioned herself as a progressive who supports single-payer and breaking up large technology companies.
Ocasio-Cortez has become a darling of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party who has not endorsed a 2020 presidential candidate.
