Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Fox News Mocks The Working Class!

Rep-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) slams Fox News.
I love how the network throws socialist around like it's a bad word. I love how these white folks have the audacity to attack a woman of color who shocked the world with a viable win in a relatively Democratic stronghold. I love how this member-elect told the world that she is just like everyone else. She wants to represent the people of the district that she was elected to. She urges others to realize that not all lawmakers come in rich.

Many Americans are struggling to eat or pay rent. I am one of those who works 50 hours a week. I am a "surprise" dad who has to travel to another city to see my son. I don't get the fancy clothes or shoes that you see on television. I make too much to qualify for food stamps, Medicaid, Pell grants and housing assistance.

Even at a minimum of $29,000 a year, the average family of four can only afford at least $1,500 in monthly expenses.

Most apartments in a metropolitan area begin at nearly $700 a month. The cost of living in Washington, DC is astronomical.

Rep-elect Alexandria Ocasio Cortez of New York is the youngest elected federal official in the United States. She replaces Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) as the young elected member of the House of Representatives.

Ocasio Cortez said that since the election, she never had a long term job during the campaign. She said she might have to find a hotel room while waiting for her congressional salary to kick in. She admits that she can't find an affordable housing in metro DC.

Fox News took those comments and started to discuss them on America's Newsroom.

Ed Henry made the remarks.


Soon, the lawmaker shot back and made a stinging rebuke. She said that Fox News mocks the working class. She said that millions of Americans struggle to eat while paying for the rent.


Women of color often face this kind of nonsense from white elitists. Fox News is the network of white extremism.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, you got a challenge ahead of you. It's time to show empathy towards our fellow American.

Trump and the Republican Party have no shame or empathy towards the middle class, working class and the lower class.
