Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (NY-D) is in critical condition after being brutalized by a shark off of the coast of St. Tropez while Congress is on recess. Witnesses say that the progressive left wing politician was wading close to shore when she was suddenly pulled under and brutalized by a whale shark, a shark species that is becoming increasingly aggressive in the St. Tropez area. From 1905-2022, there were 0 attacks by whale sharks in the entire world. In 2023, there have already been 5 such attacks, 3 of which have been fatal. Scientists are concerned about what has caused this once docile species to become violent. Rep. Occasionally Cortez has been transported to Room 40 at the ICU in St. Tropez National Hospital.
