Yahoo News Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Ridicules Republicans For This 1 Key Achievement
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) mocked Republicans in response to a question about what is getting done in Congress.
On Monday’s episode of “The Daily Show,” guest host Desus Nice asked the New York congresswoman what was accomplished in the House before it ground to a standstill following Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) ousting as speaker and the GOP’s subsequent failure to elect a replacement.
“I will say from when Republicans took over to now, they provided a lot of meme content,” Ocasio-Cortez zinged to laughter from the audience.
The lawmaker then listed some of the accomplishments of the previous Democratic-controlled House, such as the passing of the climate and energy spending package.
Earlier in the interview, Ocasio-Cortez warned why a far-right figure like the Donald Trump-backed Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) — whose bid to become speaker imploded last week ― shouldn’t win the role because “whoever takes over could potentially put our democracy in danger when it comes to certifying or recertifying an election and so on.”
