Coronavirus: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blasts 'shameful' corporate bailout

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez clashed with Republicans as the US Senate voted on a $2.2tn coronavirus relief bill on Friday. She said it was a ‘shameful’ corporate bailout that would further widen the income inequality gap. ‘What did the Senate majority fight for?’ the New York congresswoman asled. ‘One of the largest corporate bailouts with as few strings as possible in American history’

Lord, this comment section is filled with bots and toxicity.

$25M for the Kennnedy center? How many respirators would that buy?
No Outrage?
Impeach Pelosi?

[IMMORTAN-RICH]

This bill is shameful!!!! Now excuse me I’m gonna go vote for it.

[MindAnimations]

It is shameful, people are dying. My daughter works at the post office without so much as a mask, people are still coming and going packages… Deliveries… And she has a two-month-old baby at home. People aren’t taking this seriously, but they should.

[robertbeals]

I noticed she didn't condemn all the millions going to the Kennedy center or the congress. She only condemns helping businesses after they were forced to shut down by the same government she's a part of.

girl, no company no job source no tax payers, then no free money for your community

[Eaglejake]

after this tirade:
Reporter: "Sooo, you obviously voted against the bill?"
AOC: "No, I voted for it?"
Reporter: "Um, then what about everything you said prior to the vote, with flailing arms, and jumping around and all?"
AOC: "My Chief-of-Staff calls it, like, I think, ...pandering????"

New York was told they needed to beef up their supplies for a Pandemic two years ago. Included on the list was all the things they now scream they need. They chose social programs over safety. There is always a trade off.

[Naiade]

Why is she talking about the community she represents and not Americans in general?!?!

[ruthkhiang]

I'm not American and can you tell me why they hate her?

[heynowls]

Thank you AOC. Passion and truth. Dems need more voices like AOC and Bernie. We are so broken.

[BBWM]

Can someone shut that 6 year old child up?

[workman]

Maybe if she tried making her argument like a mature adult, rather than an over emotional schoolgirl people might listen more?

[pedroc]

She doesn't understand without the companies there are no jobs.

[lookitsdebby]

What's up with this comment section. Yikes

[Simon-plzi]

What a lame grandstander - she didn't even vote against the bill

[theeconomicsofthings]

You have the necessary ventilators. They’re locked up in warehouses in NYC, thousands.

[robertbeals]

She needs to blame NY governor for the ventilator problem. Also the reason NYC is getting hit so hard is because of mass transit and people living on top of each other. She should think of that, the next time she is condemning urban sprawl.
