'Unthinkable': AOC Shreds Chuck Schumer For 'Profoundly Misreading The Moment'
HuffPost
Ocasio-Cortez slammed Senate Democrats looking to advance an "extreme" bill that turns the government into a "slush fund" for Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) ripped Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Thursday after he said he’d vote to advance a GOP-backed funding bill, abandoning his plans to filibuster the legislation in a move that will likely avoid a government shutdown.
“I believe that’s a tremendous mistake,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s Jake Tapper, who asked about Schumer’s new plan and why she thinks it’s “wrong” to allow for a simple majority vote.
Ocasio-Cortez pressed that Americans are “up in arms” over Elon Musk, adding that the continuing resolution codifies the billionaire’s chaotic cuts.
She described the legislation as an “extreme spending bill” that “sacrifices and completely eliminates congressional authority.”
“This turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk,” she said of the “deeply partisan” legislation.
