AOC mocked for saying she’s ‘here in NY’ — while speaking in front of US Capitol

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says 'here in NY' while speaking in DC

“We have governors in states across, across the country, including here in New York with, uh, Governor Kathy Hochul, saying ‘Expand these legal pathways,’ uh, ‘Make it easier for these folks to get work authorizations,'” Ocasio-Cortez said in her remarks.The liberal lawmaker’s imprecise language quickly became a source of fun on social media.“I identify as being in New York,” one user sarcastically replied.

The heavily litigated health emergency measure was set to expire last month, but the White House reversed course as the southern border was overwhelmed with new arrivals in the lead-up to its expiration.“The right to seek asylum is enshrined in domestic and international law and the United States is a shining example, and we have sought and aspired to be an example to uphold international law,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
