That was smart how she broke that down so the average American could understand it .

[herreralove]

And Trump called her 'just a bar tender" SMH

[Kravis]

I honestly don't understand anyone taking issues with what she did. This IS the swamp that both parties are neck deep in.

[chado]

Damn she just talked me into running for office.

[nonunekonsequence]

AOC to the Establishment. Would you like to play a Game?

[theoldgringo]

What AO-C has focused on and brought forth is very scary. Makes you wonder how many years this, in fact, been going on and how many congressional politicians/presidents have used these short cuts to obtain more wealth?

[saugeyes]

She broke this down simply enough for a 1st grader to understand yet these full grown trumpers in the comments still don't get it. They deserve to be rolled by their government.

I see why the neocons want to take her down. Dems if you're not going to help get out of way.

[rafaelguevara]

Wow, simply brilliant!! Now we understand, what we're up against it.

[rondlh]

Wow, so impressive, she goes to the core of things very fast... the system is extremely rotten, this is exactly the game Trumps and his henchmen are playing

[itsjosieharr]

I never really watch these things but that was amazing, no one could deny what she was saying was correct.

[ozankarakoc]

This has already been recorded as a 'historical' speech. Respect!

[paulstillman]

The more I see her, the more I like her.

[jbgrooves]

This should be mandatory to watch and then write an essay about in ever high school across the country.
Well done AOC, and to her critics. WTF were you doing at 29?

[beutrice]

I actually started tearing up, never understood this so well before. Absolutely terrible so corrupt

[tommyjalapeno]

Being so clear and putting it so simply-my best university chemistry professors were so-- well done Miss Cortez

[TheKayleeanna]

A very clear and accurate explanation of the issues we have in our Local, State, & Federal governments.

[blindkid]

I love her, shes actually doing her job and holding people accountable

[sandycarter]

That was brilliant! AOC is amazing, so smart, and absolutely crystal clear.
