Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she is a no vote on President Trumps signature trade deal, the United StatesMexicoCanada Agreement.
I am leaning and intending to vote no, she told voters at a community town hall in Woodside Saturday, saying she was concerned about how the deal would affect those seeking out cheaper drugs in places like Canada.
Folks who, because of our shameful health care system in the United States, cross the border into Canada to try to purchase insulin to bring back, she said, would feel threatened due to the rising price of pharmaceuticals.
Despite her opposition, the trade deal is on track to be one of the presidents rare bipartisan achievements.

I now know that it is great...if America’s Official Crackpot was for it I’d having second thoughts...
It wasn’t enough for her to kill Amazon jobs in NY state she wants to kill jobs throughout America.
And Canada. And Mexico.
Well duh
No one expected anything else
and once again, the dancing nitwit of queens opens her mouth to demonstrate she knows nothing about ordering Canadian meds or pharmaceutical provisions of the USMCA (as opposed to Zero’s TPP and ICIS). Under USMCA, the pharmaceuticals affected are ones made from live cells. Currently Messico only allows 5 years of exclusive patent; Canada 8; the US 12. The Agreement will make that a universal 10 years of exclusivity (although some dems want to argue that down to 7). By law for several years already, Americans can order up to 3 months of rx at a time from Canadian pharms - including insulin. Just need a doctor’s rx they do verify. It’s saved me literally thousands on inhalers.
Of course, AOC, of course........
She f****d up with Amazon, denying good paying jobs to NYC, why not USMCA? Socialist beoch.
Alex...Honey...You’re talking crazy again. Come back to bed.
I can’t imagine going through life so mentally challenged.
How compassionate for NY to give one of these poor unfortunate (permanent) children a lofty position even when it costs them millions of dollars and tens of thousands of job.
Well, compassionate or very stupid, you decide.
Stuck on full retard.
I thought USMCA was a treaty, don’t treaties get confirmed in the senate? if so, maybe someone should explain to sandy that she doesn’t get to vote on this
Barbie and AOC have a lot in common.
Mainly being fake with a hollow head.
