BREAKING: Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez brings down the house with a fiery speech slamming Republicans for mocking her working class background as a bartender./hi
She then took Donald Trump and Elon Musk down several pegs. Democrats need leaders right now and the sky is the limit for AOC…
“For all the big talk that Republicans and the Trump administration like to flap about working people, if you actually listen carefully every once in a while they let the mask slip about what they actually think about us,” AOC said during a rally with Senator Bernie Sanders in North Las Vegas.
“You know just last week President Trump’s lawyer, her name is Alina Habba, she went on television and when she actually had to be faced with explaining her job, and when she actually had to be faced with doing her job, this is what she had to say: ‘What intellectual thought—’ when she was asked about me, ‘What intellectual thought? You were in a bar. You were in a bar AOC and not to have a drink but to serve one,” said Ocasio-Cortez.
“And I want you all to understand — and I don’t care what this woman says about me. I don’t give a damn,” she said as the crowd cheered.
“But I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me. She’s talking about you. She’s talking about all of us,” AOC continued.
“Because the entire job of the president’s lawyer is to speak for him,” she said. “Trump hired her to speak for him. So imagine what it means for our country that the president’s own lawyer cannot even conceive of a working class person being intelligent simply because of the job that they have.”
“This woman could not even recognize the American Dream if it was fed to her on a silver spoon,” AOC went on. “But understand that this kind of disdain for working people by the most powerful people in this country doesn’t just come from not being raised right.”
“It’s a shorthand for Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s entire political agenda and a certain ugly kind of politics: lying to and screwing over working people so that they can steal from our healthcare, and Social Security, and veterans’ care to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest and bailouts for their crypto billionaire friends,” she continued.
“There’s a word for this: corruption,” she added.
