Ocasio-Cortez is among the notable names included in the task forces and is co-chairing a group that will mold Biden’s climate policy.

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaks during a meeting of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform June 12, 2019, on Capitol Hill. “I think it would be an enormous stride to have a female and a woman of color as a vice presidential nominee," she said. The congresswoman also says the federal government’s lagging response in providing testing for coronavirus adversely affected the ability of many minority communities to prepare to combat the virus.

Nightline JujuChangABC

Nightline JujuChangABC The term essential is now watered down, what it should have stated was 'mission critical'.

Nightline Au contraire, Corona is very selective.

Nightline Seems that the virus os impacting certain demographics more though.. so

Nightline Sabias palabras ...🙄🙄🙄😴😴😴

Nightline It doesn’t care if you come from Brooklyn or uggh Queens.... Harlem or God forbid the Bowery, (south of E. Third St.)!!!!

Nightline Neither does Trump, just like the virus

Nightline Does it care if you’re a bartender AOC

Nightline And...

Nightline Yes, COVID-19! is a risk that impacts every single one of us. But, AOC ignores statistics that infection rates are twice as high among the poor, undocumented, black or white or Latino populations. We are all equal, but some are more equal than others. TrumpPandemic

Nightline Liar. Check the rate of death, you will find Rich or Poor, Black White or Latino is so huge different.

Nightline The only risk we face today are Democrats and MSM

Nightline I’m not sure what is more annoying: that she is using the virus to promote open borders propaganda, or that she uses “impact” instead of “affect.”

Nightline How long did it take her to figure that out? 🤨

Nightline And America doesn't care about you. One and done moron.

Nightline LoL. I’m surprised she could memorize that much text. MAGA

Nightline Except those with more money have a better chance of staying safe and healthy. Having more space and access to food & basic necessities - with no threat of loss of income - can help improve overall well-being.

Nightline Captain Obvious spews 🤮

Nightline OMG, this sounds like a blessed missionary!

Nightline *YAWN* has she written and passed any meaningful legislation while she’s been in office? No? Then why are you reporting the babblings on this commie echo chamber

Nightline Love it when networks waste time interviewing politicos that live for any type of face time on the boob tube.... I liken it to all those fillers in hot dogs....

Nightline Nice to see AOC take a break from her racism

Nightline Just like you do

Nightline Kind of like Texas......

Nightline Covid only cares that you're old. average age of death from Covvid is 79. The death rate for the general population as a whole is 78.6

Nightline And? carmelodifazio Hangel86

Nightline I mean, it kinda helps if you're rich and can afford to throw money at twice a day testing and a hospital visit that won't bankrupt you.

Nightline CHEERS 🥂 GM. AGAIN I AM THE REASON THAT 40 MILLION ARE OUT OF WORK !

Nightline Yes the virus clearly looks at your taxes and skin color first....

Nightline I hear it has it out for black people

Nightline JujuChangABC That would eliminate every politician and every news correspondent.

JujuChangABC Nightline all workers are essential to this country, That is why democrats governors are going to forced to reopen there states. She is dumber then a box of rocks no one listens to her

JujuChangABC Nightline When she was working behind the bar, was she giving the drinks away for free?

JujuChangABC Nightline Says the fool who tells people to refuse to return to work.

JujuChangABC Nightline To be clear: they want to rebrand minimum wage workers as “essential.” And I’m mostly fine with it. But you’d have to be a moron not to see the cynicism/glibness on her part.

JujuChangABC Nightline Essential workers deserve nothing. They should be thankful they still have a job. Now that many places have closed permanently. They should step it up.

Sen. Menendez with Rep. Engel launching probe of State Dept. watchdog firingSenator Bob Menendez (D-NJ), ranking member of the Foreign Relations Committee, joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss the latest developments in the firing of State Department Inspector General Steve Linick, an issue he is probing with House Foreign Affair Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-NY). Sen. Menendez tells Andrea, 'I am deeply concerned that my understanding is that the Inspector General may very well have been on the verge of completing an investigation into emergency justifications for arm sales to Saudi Arabia.' MSLSD loves to report rumor and innuendo, and claim it's 'news'. Why not just go ask Mr. Linick? Just more of realDonaldTrump corrupt business, using the United States as the middle man. Why are we providing Saudi Arabia with arms? Most of 911 terrorist were from there.
