Rep. Ocasio-Cortez “I Can Do Math” On Progressives’ Power

House Progressives held their ground this week and denied a vote on a bipartisan infrastructure bill until a deal on a larger human infrastructure deal could be reached. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined NBC’s Mehdi Hasan to discuss where negotiations stand. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez also talked about her controversial ‘present’ vote on additional funding for Israel's Iron Dome defense system."

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez “I Can Do Math” On Progressives’ Power

[MrBrewzr]

You know what people like about her, what I like about her? She actually answers questions, I know it’s a novel idea, maybe other politicians should take notice.

[davidfranklin]

Sadly, one of the few politicians who speaks honestly. Corporate America is terrified of people like her who will put citizens above corporations.

[mustafaname]

Her engaging clarity shines a glaring light on Manchin's dinosaur mentality, and Sinema's blank screen.

[naomibee]

AOC is a breath of good air this morning! THANK YOU! Especially for breaking down that NEW YORK gets 100 billion a year in spending just to operate and 300 billion a year is what the fight is over FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY!

[Icyhotboo]

I love the way she doesn't talk condescendingly, but her intelligence and character just bursts through.

[patrickingalls]

Thankyou Rep. A.O.C. I have a much better grasp of the issues now. Keep up the good work!

[dreamrestore]

Bout time someone is breaking down this number correctly.

[bilgyno]

My mouth fell open when Mehdi Hasan said that the media have been wrong in their framing. OMG maybe there is still hope!

[miaballester]

Congratulations!!! Finally an Interview that's Intelligent, Interesting and Informative!

[barbarabretti]

An extremely intelligent and very caring young woman greetings from Australia 🇦🇺❤️

[joeking]

I love her. We need people like AOC and Katie Porter running the country and BTW, I'm an older white male

[advocacyandaccountability]

Sinema accusing AOC of "stunts" is a laugh riot. We need Sinema and Manchin out of Congress.

[MaJieMao]

Consider this for a moment we only spending a extra 350 Billions a year building up our country, but we spend twice that on the military to defend it. At what point does it not make sense to defend our crumbling country?

[stephenbouchelle]

She seems to be one of the very few in Congress, or Senate for that matter, who does her homework and understands the math in every issue she addresses. She is also very insightful in general.

[pamkarnes]

Katie Porter should have been put up front with selling this bill. Katie and her white board would show what the 10 yr plan would be.

[Matthew-veuv]

Amazing. Love her. The anti-Trump: intelligent, honest, thought-provoking, caring and healthy-looking.

[riosmark]

Ocasio-Cortez hold your ground, keep your head up ⬆️ and keep the fight going

[baconation]

I love AOC, she is the best thing to come along in this country in a long time!

[brianabc]

I love AOC she is a breath of fresh air, no rhetoric like everybody else, she just tells it like it is. Refreshing!

[lisacateyes]

AOC is AOK in my book! God bless you, you are a major part of what is good about our country!!
