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."
"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."
