Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised eyebrows this week during a widely publicized speaking event; saying no one in America “makes a billion dollars” but “takes a billion” in slave wages and undocumented workers.
“You didn’t make those widgets! You sat on a couch while thousands of people were paid modern day slave wages, and in some cases real modern-day slavery; you made that money off the backs of undocumented people …” said Ocasio-Cortez.

“The Democratic Party is not a left party. The Democratic Party is a center, or a center-conservative party,” added Ocasio-Cortez.

“We can’t even get a floor vote on Medicare for All. This is not a left party. There are left members inside the Democratic Party working to make that shift happen,” she added.

AOC ERUPTS: Ocasio-Cortez Worried Trump Staffers May Put ‘Nuclear Codes on Instagram’
Recently sworn-in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continued her all-out assault against the Trump administration Tuesday; bizarrely suggesting White House officials may put “nuclear codes on Instagram.”
“Every day that we go on without getting to the bottom of this matter is a day that we are putting hundreds if not potentially thousands of Americans at risk. I mean, really, what is next, putting nuclear codes in Instagram DMs?!? This is ridiculous,” yelled Ocasio-Cortez.

AOC ERUPTS: Ocasio-Cortez TRASHES US Justice System That ‘Targets Race’ and ‘Criminalizes Poverty’
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.”
