Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has condemned the incessant GOP heckling during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night, saying that Republicans’ behavior is indicative of the party’s current extremism
, Ocasio-Cortez pointed out that Republicans jeered at even the most basic policies mentioned by the president as the most extremist members of the party have been “embraced and uplifted as the center of the Republican Party.” The interruptions to the speech were far more frequent than she had ever seen during a State of the Union address, she observed.
“It’s really shocking even the things that the overall Republican Party refuse to stand for: paying public school teachers, public health policy, basic education policy, raising the wage for some of our lowest paid workers in the United States,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “This should be really basic stuff, sky is blue kind of stuff.”Related Story
