AOC on Maine Senate race: "This is about class"

Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) campaigned for U.S. Senate candidate Troy Jackson (D-ME) on Monday, stating his midterm race was "about class." "The House and the Senate have always been institutions for the ruling class in America," she said. "And what this institution tries to do is protect it from being intruded upon by working-class Americans." The New York Representative continued, drawing attention to both hers and Mr. Jackson's backgrounds. "They're afraid," she said. "They've been a waitress in the house and a logger in the United States Senate." (Source: C-SPAN | Region: New York, USA)
