“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) quipped Monday that a company should build an AI data center near President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort after he said communities will be ‘backwards and poor’ if they oppose the construction of such facilities,” [NewsNation](https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/ocasio-cortez-put-a-data-center-up-in-mar-a-lago/) reports.

Said Ocasio-Cortez: “How about we put one in Mar-a-Lago? I love that. Let’s put a data center up in Mar-a-Lago, we’ll see how backwards and poor he is in response to that.”
