Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) ripped Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) for remarks regarding government unemployment benefits during a conservative gathering in Dallas over the weekend.
“We’re here to tell government, we don’t want your benefits, we don’t want your welfare. Don’t come knockin’ on my door with your Fauci ouchie, you leave us the hell alone,” Boebert said Saturday at CPAC, the annual gathering of conservative politicians, activists and organizers, referring to infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci and the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine push.
“Tell ‘em loud and proud girl!” Ocasio-Cortez responded to Boebert in a tweet Saturday evening. “GOP will strip your unemployment protections and dismantle any semblance of a public safety net we have left! Then make working people pay way more for everything on low wages while Wall St gets a meal ticket!”

Maryland tried to suspend benefits and it was stopped by a judge. As a seasonal employee, I have dealt with the DLLR (Beacon system) for 12 years and yesterday was asked to send them a copy of my passport proving I am a citizen.
What is wrong with these people? They bring in immigrants by the thousands, lobby to give them free Medicare, and pay off student loans but they have stopped supporting their citizens. I am also been waiting since April 15th for my Federal Tax Refund. Maybe AOC could get a bartending job at Caribbean Joes because all she accomplishes now is making noise.
States have Learned they are NOT allowed to Stop benefits , So Quit Beating this Dead Horse !!!!
The hill a commie infested turd bowl of losers.. THEIR HERO AOC willing to castrate the GOP and to champion the failures of communism over capitalism, and the morons cheer!!!
Occasional Kotex is a nothing airhead placed in that spot by the handlers in DC
She is a Marxist that wants to give lazy bums $36,000 a year for sitting on their lazy asses and cut my SSI.
No reason for any extra benefits. Too many jobs available The problem is we are a country of so many worthless trashy wastes of space who are too lazy to work. If it were up to me I would let them and what they spawn starve. The county would be better off without them
