New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed Tucker Carlson as a "creep," after the Fox News pundit joked about her one of her Instagram Live broadcasts sounding "like an invitation to a booty call."

The Instagram live stream referenced by Carlson comes from an excerpt taken from Take Up Space: The Unprecedented AOC," an upcoming biography about the 32-year-old politician. Carlson read the transcript aloud on his show, Friday night.

"The person who wrote this didn't even perceive how creepy it was," Carlson said. "'I'm alone today, Ocasio-Cortez says pointedly at the camera.' Is it just us or does that sound like an invitation to a booty call? Maybe one step from 'What are you wearing?'"

AOC fired back on Twitter, wondering how Carlson's behavior is behind the scenes if this is how he operates publically.

"Remember when the right wing had a meltdown when I suggested they exhibit obsessive impulses around young women? Well now Tucker Carlson is wishing for… this on national TV," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "You’re a creep bro. If you’re this easy w/ sexual harassment on air, how are you treating your staff?"
