Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trashed the American justice system Tuesday night; saying law enforcement routinely “criminalize poverty” and “target race.”
“Our country has a ‘justice’ system that criminalizes poverty + disproportionately targets race, yet routinely pardons large-scale crimes of wealth and privilege,” posted Ocasio-Cortez on social media. “Moments like these tell us it’s less a justice system, and more a class enforcement system.”
