Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to TheView: “Our entire political system revolves, frankly, around rich men, and rich men are not the center of my universe. Working families are.”
Ocasio-Cortez, who served as a volunteer for Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign, announced her endorsement of the senator'slast fall. She first appeared alongside Sanders at his first rally following his heart attack in October, -- when the pair attracted an estimated 26,000 people to a rally in Queens, New York -- the largest event held by any member of the Democratic field this cycle.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaks before introducing Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders to the stage during his campaign event at the Whittemore Center Arena, Feb. 10, 2020, in Durham, New Hampshire. When pressed on why Sanders is running on the Democratic ticket when he's labeled as an independent, AOC implied that most of the electorate -- 30-40% according to the congresswoman -- would also consider themselves independent."The largest plurality of voters consider themselves as not wanting to be a part of this labeling ... they don't feel like there's a home for them at the Republican party or Democrat party," she said.
Co-host Meghan McCain said Sanders wants people to"buy into radical ideas," AOC responded that it's not about the policy.
