Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says a ban on former lawmakers becoming lobbyists, which prompted her unlikely alliance with Sen. Ted Cruz, is one step closer to becoming a reality

.

"Our legislative teams are meeting, so we're going to see how far we can push this," the New York Democrat told The Young Turks in an interview published Thursday. She and Cruz, a stalwart Texas Republican, discovered their shared distaste for former members of Congress leveraging their influence into lucrative lobbying careers during a Twitter exchange last week.

CNN should change their name AOC. No they should change their name to SH1T.

It's all in the loopholes - it always is. And if both of them are committed to a clean bill, then they're to be commended. We shall see .....

Good

Occasionally right LowIQAOC!

Working together and not always being so divisive and playing the blame game... we need more of this.

So proud👏🏼❤️

Unfortunately Ted Cruz only wants to get rid of lobbyists who can’t or won’t fund his re-election.

You wait. Once she gets fully woke she will be a conservative.

She is crazy like Bernie 'trump' Sanders.

Please make this work

Next: Citizen United.

Need to also ban all lobbyists from working in government, especially on the cabinet

People in front of Camera...can't behave as un-intelligently
