Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Breaks Down What the Green New Deal Really Is- Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

[Olivia-ocjo]

Really glad she said “people who are experiencing homelessness” rather than “homeless people”. Much more polite and shows how much she cares!

[YTWanderer]

Thanks Seth for conducting an interview with her without the usual condescending undertones other hosts use when talking about her agenda !

[DudeNamedAdi]

Apartment shouldn't be a dream for a working adult.

[onamiilove]

Refreshing to hear someone who thinks clearly and speaks coherently...thank you

[skyeplus]

She's got an asteroid named after her by MIT lab for winning that science award. It's 23238 Ocasio-Cortez.

“If were going to make progress we need to declare our North Star. And our North Star is 100% renewable energy, medicare for all, tuition free public colleges, investing in technology and renewable resources and electric vehicles” I can get behind that 👌

[jzilla]

Incredible woman, intelligent, funny, forthright, honest and principled.

[johnsanders]

WOW the paying homeless people to stand in line for you, is something i'm sure many people were not aware of including myself Just so lobbyist can be the first and possibly only ones with access to elected officials. This is a broken system.

[oooohokay]

I nearly cry every time I see her in an interview it’s so incredible to see young women in politics actually fighting for the issues that young people care about. And the fact that she went to my university is even better 😍🥰

[mvvpro]

Why do I have to come to a comedy show to hear pointed questions answered by an intelligent woman, instead of the endless repeat loop of political dribble and partisan accusations on the so called news networks?

[Monkeynati]

AOC you're an incredible woman! An inspiration to me and so many... Much love from Australia!

[Kuzkoh]

What an unbelievable woman, truly inspirational and a true expression of what America should be. The future of America and someone who’s going to lead us one day and I can’t wait for that day.

[Teenom]

Protect this gem of a lady with all your might, America. She's definitely a keeper. Don't f**k this up.

[unvergebeneid]

"Because he's a nematode?" 😂😂😂😂

[teelasalada]

Going to outer space (ie the moon) was an ambitious, expensive goal (and continuing to explore outer space), but trying to preserve the planet we live on (and increase financial opportunities for more people) is out of this world? 🤷🏾‍♀️

[petermatthews]

It would be good if her office did more to promote her science background since she does back up her policies with scientific information and economic research from Nobel Prize winning economists. But we only keep hearing about her previous jobs in hospitality. That might equip her to do her job in unexpected ways, but the science makes her qualified to speak on this topic.

[bobstarr]

"because he's a nematode" 45 and her are on totally different levels.

[kingstonrock]

kinda sad I'm getting solid news from a comedy show

[onemileperhour]

She makes me feel positive about being an American, and gives me faith of our representative process.

[dantatadangote]

Thank you for highlighting her one of her many academic achievements Seth, you should have also mentioned that she won the contest and had a star named after her!
