Watch AOC blasts fellow Democrats in fiery House floor speech - New York Post on Dailymotion

Transcript

00:00It is great that Democrats have a line of people who are willing to fight for working class

00:04Americans from coast to coast in this country because God forbid that we have a member of the

00:10Republican caucus who stands up and actually wants to extend the Affordable Care Act so that

00:16people with cancer, insulin, and issues across all sorts of health care issues across this country

00:22have their health insurance protected and extended throughout 2026. It is unconscionable

00:27that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give eight members of the United States

00:34Senate over a million dollars apiece and we are robbing people of their food assistance

00:43and of their health care to pay for it. How is this even on the floor? How can we as members of

00:51Congress, Republican or Democrat vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?

01:00That is what this legislation does. In fact, Senator Graham just went before the press earlier today

01:07saying he was going to seek well over a million dollars from the American people from this. We

01:12cannot support it and we cannot stand for it. Thank you.
