"Her district is a wasteland," O'Leary added. "Why would anybody want her running anything? But I love what she does on T-shirts, so maybe she should start a T-shirt company."
The "Shark Tank" star's comments came as Ocasio-Cortez has been criss-crossing the country over the last several weeks, participating in a "Fight Oligarchy" tour alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in protest of President Donald Trump and his policies. The events have drawn large crowds and speculation over whether Ocasio-Cortez is testing the waters for a potential presidential run.
Meanwhile, last week, Ocasio-Cortez posted a new campaign-style video to her social media accounts, invigorating that speculation even further.

Prominent pollster Nate Silver suggested earlier this month that Ocasio-Cortez is currently the leading Democrat to pick up the party's presidential nomination in 2028, selecting her as his top choice in a 2028 election exercise with FiveThirtyEight's Galen Druke.
"I think there's a lot of points in her favor at this very moment," Druke said, adding, "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has broad appeal across the Democratic Party."
