Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the administration for bypassing the normal process for changing the census. CBSN's Vladimir Duthiers has more.

Here's a woman who somehow circumvented years of experience to get where she is, questioning why years have been shaved off a simple questionnaire.

Tested and vetted? "Are you a Citizen"? What's not to understand?

[williamskat]

She is correct, follow the proper procedures. If you choose to change the process that is fine but we need to follow the procedures that were put in place not claim executive privilege.

[ashdoodge]

she wants a pay raise in in the same sentence she's basically saying it takes 5 years to do something it takes anyone else 35 seconds.

This Woman! Why would anyone listen to her?

[ThomasDeLello]

When asked about how she felt about Roe vs Wade... she responded... "Well... how else are Mexicans supposed to get across the river...?"

This is why you don't elect 29-year-olds to govern you. So much noise and drama, so little substance.

Adding a question to the census, to determine if you are a legal Citizen and should be included in the Census, is a problem for the DEMs?

The DEM party is one of the largest embarrassments our country has ever sprouted.

If you're a builder (successful) you become used to getting things done Are you a citizen ? 5 years ? give me a break

[PJ-gxji]

Let's do the math. 5 years to add a question to the census at $174K per year...

[Tallacus]

I worked for the 2010 census and we had the question on there, it had to be asked regardless

[jorgensenmj]

AOC: "Why is this national quiz thing called a sense us?... It makes no sense...
and congress needs a raise."

[RickMartinYouTube]

I don't agree with all of her politics, but she's very well spoken and can convey her point of view very

[EarlMiller]
