Sen. Sanders broke from Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, who in a recent interview suggested that passing a watered down version of 'Medicare for All' in a deeply divided Congress would still represent a major achievement for the Democratic Party's progressive wing.
Las Vegas Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday night broke from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who in a recent interview suggested that passing a watered down version of"Medicare for All" in a deeply divided Congress would still represent a major achievement for the Democratic Party's progressive wing.
Asked about her comments by CNN's Anderson Cooper during a town hall in Las Vegas, Sanders gently disputed Ocasio-Cortez's framing of the situation, and argued that his legislation's four-year transition"is, in a sense, already a compromise.""I love Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She has done more in her first year in Congress to transform politics, to get young people involved, than any freshman member of Congress that I can remember," Sanders said.
