Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has a message for White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.

“You’re getting a subpoena!” the freshman lawmaker said to cheers on Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show” on Wednesday night.

As Ocasio-Cortez pointed out, Conway was a no-show before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday after the White House claimed she was “immune” from testimony.
