Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s campaign responded Tuesday to a social media picture that shows a group of boys at political event in Kentucky while they jokingly kiss and choke a cardboard cutout of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Ocasio-Cortez first responded to the picture in a tweet she later deleted, which read, “Here’s the close up, in case you’re having trouble recognizing them in the photo they posted to social media. Look forward to hearing your update on these #TeamMitch values!”
