Rep. Ocasio-Cortz was asked to outline the GOP vision on MSNBC’s Insider segment with Jane Psaki.
She replied:
The reason Republicans are focusing on these culture wars and focusing on trans Americans and LGBT Americans and women being fixated on what they do with their bodies is because they have no plans to improve the lives of workers. throughout the country. They don’t just do it.
Basically, we haven’t heard a single thing or idea that would improve people’s material lives. They have no plan on health care, they have no plan on our economy. And to distract from their lack of vision, they are trying to attack the most vulnerable Americans in this country.
