In the latest questionable comment from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the representative attempted to argue that thereās actually not a single person in America who thinks the government does too much.
"I ask you...think about the last time a person has said in this country that the government does too much for them...When was the last time anyone has heard or seen that?!ā the Congresswoman asked.
While not a political force anymore, the Tea Party immediately comes to mind as a massive group of people complaining that the government literally does too much. Similarly, the House of Representatives, the chamber in which AOC was speaking and is a member of, is controlled by the Republican Party, whose platform includes a general distrust of government excess. Itās amazing that theyāve managed to take back the House in light of this new revelation that apparently zero people are on board with a key part of their platform.
Cortez continued, listing popular government programs, such as social security, which will be insolvent in less than a decade. She also asked rhetorically when the last time was that someone ever complained about teachers earning too much - which one can easily find examples of (especially when you see what many teachers in cities earn relative to their studentsā performance).
Watch below:
And speaking of public salaries more generally - you can bet most people think AOC is paid too much!
