AOC trolls Fox News after voter defended her work on air
In an interview on Fox News, one voter was quick to defend himself when asked what he had done for the district. The MP replied:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fired back in a key segment on Fox News after some voters interviewed remained supportive of her cause.
In an episode of Sean Hannity’s show, the channel detailed her possible run for president and traveled to Astoria to interview New Yorkers who live in her district.
Here’s what happened during the segment and what AOC responded.
AOC reacts after FOX News segment
On an episode of “Hannity,” reporter Brianna Lyman went out and spoke to residents who live in the areas AOC represents.
Mr. Lyman asked his interviewees a variety of questions about the lawmaker, including what policies she has enacted in the city and whether they have seen her roam the streets in person.
As part of the segment, Lyman told Hannity that he “hates” Ocasio-Cortez and “there are a lot more people off camera.”
“Even the people who voted for her didn’t really know what they liked about her.”
But when one voter asked what AOC had done for the district, she responded, “She helped deliver 30,000 books to school children in the district.”
The congresswoman, who represents parts of Queens and the Bronx, responded with a laughing emoji and said the video “energized me for the next 30,000 people.”
In another video, a voter said he actually saw her get off the subway. Asked if that qualifies him to be president, Lyman said, “That’s a start.”
Is AOC actually running for president?
In a May 8 interview, the 36-year-old New York congressman did not immediately rule out the idea of running for another election, whether it be for a Senate seat or the White House.
“They think my ambition is for a title or a seat,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “And my ambition is much bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country.”
This is not the first time she has had to answer about her political ambitions. In February, AOC was asked a similar question during a panel discussion when the interviewer asked, “So when you run for president, are you going to impose a wealth tax or a billionaire tax?”
Instead of answering flatly, the congressman said Americans “don’t have to wait for some president to impose a wealth tax.”
