Summary
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 35-year-old veteran lawmaker, spoke to NPR about her party’s path forward.
She predicts Republicans will face backlash over Medicaid cuts and federal worker firings.
Despite some Democrats suggesting a new immigration approach post-election, she maintains support for a path to citizenship and recently held a know-your-rights seminar that drew threats of investigation from Trump’s border czar Tom Homan.
AOC told NPR “everything feels increasingly like a scam” for ordinary Americans while government serves the wealthy well.
Unlike Trump, she opposes drastically cutting government agencies but questions programs like Medicare Advantage.
AOC is just another scam. Where was she for the past 4 years?
Pretty active and critical of the administrations actions. People just don’t read anything but headlines and then only actually integrate into memory the negative ones conforming to their preferred world view.
As a NYer yeah, she’s definitely been around. She’s been fighting Adams a lot
Seriously?
That’s what sheepdogs do, they lay low while the blue fascists are in charge and rear up once the red ones take control. Now that Republicans have shifted further to the right the DNC will fill the void left by Republicans.
