Conservative commentator Candace Owens and New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, known for being some of the most polarizing figures in American politics, both agreed that the recent coronavirus spending bill passed by Congress was a disaster.
This is why Congress needs time to actually read this package before voting on it.

Members of Congress have not read this bill. It’s over 5000 pages, arrived at 2pm today, and we are told to expect a vote on it in 2 hours.
This isn’t governance. It’s hostage-taking. https://t.co/JpBbEHHkVG
Her call for government transparency caught the attention of Owens, who actually agreed with her.
However, Owens made it clear that she wants Ocasio-Cortez to start asking questions about some of the seemingly pointless spendings in the bill.
“I 100% agree with @AOC on this one. This isn’t a stimulus bill, this is heist. Wealthy people are stealing tax dollars under the guise of COVID-19 relief,” Owens said. “I implore AOC to ask her colleagues WHY the Smithsonian and the Kennedy Center need over a billion dollars of OUR money.”
I would simply state that I named my trash can after AOC. There is simply no other way to put it. I have 2 containers though. How can I get another that I might name after AOC as well?
That’s right. And trash always starts to stink if left long enough. One good comment doesn’t make her a genius or qualified.
AOC is Kruger Dunning personified.
