Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said chaos in the Republican Party over the failure to elect a House speaker showed that the Squad, the group of progressive Democrats she’s a member of, is reasonable in comparison.
Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat and the most prominent member of the group, was commenting on the dysfunction in the GOP after a third day of voting in which Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the party’s House speaker candidate, failed to gain the 218 votes required to be elected to the role.
« I think, whether you’re Democrat, Republican or independent, what this whole episode really indicates and shows us is, again, just how bad faith and … substance-less the argument and accusation is that progressives are, are just as bad as, as these insurrectionists Republicans, » Ocasio-Cortez told The Independent.
