AOC rips into Mitch McConnell for sending the Senate home for the holidays:

"He broke the Senate while hospitals no longer have beds to house the sick. He broke the Senate while 30 million Americans are on the brink of evictions."
AOC: "Our country is going hungry, on the week before Thanksgiving. And the Senate broke. I don& #39;t care what party you are, it is an abandonment of our responsibilities."
AOC: "The Senate majority leader wasn& #39;t concerned about other people& #39;s money when he authorized a $4 trillion. leveraged bailout for Wall Street in March... It is only when we are talking about relief working people... that all of a sudden we can& #39;t pay for any of these things."
AOC: "So, if there& #39;s anything I have left to say – because I want to know if there& #39;s anyone out there listening – its that if you are are a working family, if you& #39;re struggling to get the food that you need, if you feel like you& #39;re on the brink of eviction. We see you."
AOC: "What I ask from the Senate, and what I ask from our Republican colleagues in the Senate; is to act as if you were the one that was going hungry. Act as if you were getting evicted from your house.

Act with that urgency."
