Former Shark Tank star Mark Cuban and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are both supporting Kamala Harris for President.
But the former Dallas Mavericks owner recently offered some advice to his preferred Presidential candidate that sent the socialist Congresswoman off the rails.
And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just made one threat that left Mark Cuban shaking his head in disbelief.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Socialist-NY) is the leader of Democrats’ woke extremist Congressional cabal known as “The Squad.”
Ocasio-Cortez and her “Squad” support abortion-on-demand, woke gender ideology, defunding the police, the Green New Deal, and several other extreme left-wing policies.
She recently headlined a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Democrat Governor Tim Walz, in Madison, Wisconsin.
“It’s right here in Wisconsin that is the front line of the fight on reproductive rights, not just for folks in this state, or in the region, but also nationally, because Wisconsin is a must-win state,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
But Ocasio-Cortez is a left-wing radical who some Democrats view as a political liability on the national stage.
And now, she just picked a fight with one of Kamala’s top campaign surrogates.
Cuban recently called for Kamala to replace Lina Khan as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair if she wins the White House next month.
“President Joe Biden tapped Khan, 35, to head the agency in 2021,” the New York Post reported. “She has been a favorite of progressive lawmakers like Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who called her appointment ‘tremendous news,’ but many from Wall Street to Silicon Valley have griped about the dearth of deals on her watch.”
At a Kaiser Family Foundation lunch on Tuesday, Cuban said that “if it were me, I wouldn’t” keep Khan.
“The bigger picture is, she’s hurting more than she’s helping,” he added.
Cuban said he appreciates the work Khan has done on antitrust probes but criticized her for waging a war on technology firms.
“By trying to break up the biggest tech companies, you risk our ability to be the best in artificial intelligence,” he said.
But Cuban’s comments did not sit well with Ocasio-Cortez.
And the socialist Congresswoman threatened Cuban with violence if “anyone goes near Lina Khan.”
“Let me make this clear, since billionaires have been trying to play footsie with the ticket: Anyone goes near Lina Khan and there will be an out and out brawl,” she wrote. “And that is a promise.”
“She proves this admin fights for working people,” she continued. “It would be terrible leadership to remove her.”

AOC’s fellow unhinged left-wing extremist, Senator Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT), also chimed in and backed Ocasio-Cortez’s statement.
He called Mark Cuban “wrong” and claimed that “Khan is the best FTC Chair in modern history.”
“By taking on corporate greed & illegal monopolies, Lina is doing an exceptional job preventing large corporations from ripping-off consumers & exploiting workers,” he wrote.
.@mcuban is wrong. Lina Khan is the best FTC Chair in modern history.
By taking on corporate greed & illegal monopolies, Lina is doing an exceptional job preventing large corporations from ripping-off consumers & exploiting workers.
Thanks @linakhanFTC for what you are doing. https://t.co/IYJP3LhGsP

Many Democrats blame Ocasio-Cortez for Democrats underperforming in Congressional races in the 2020 election.
Ocasio-Cortez pushed the “defund the police” agenda despite her fellow Democrats telling her to be quiet.
