In videos posted Thursday night, far-left U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar push for a seemingly socialist overhaul of the U.S. government in reaction to the coronavirus outbreak.

The first-term progressive Democratic congresswomen, from New York and Minnesota, respectively, call for the removal of a “profit motive” from lawmakers’ decisions and the “nationalization” of the nation’s health care system.

They and other Democrats have been critical of President Trump’s decision to allow the governors and legislatures of the nation’s 50 states, as well as U.S. territories, to largely set their own strategies for reacting to the virus - which has affected regions to varying degrees.

“For some reason we have an enormous problem with enacting the Defense Production Act for saving lives and guaranteeing health care,” Ocasio-Cortez says in her video, referring to the Korean War-era legislation that allows the president to order private companies to produce goods deemed as vital to national interests.

Meanwhile, Omar takes aim at the Trump administration’s policy of promoting state autonomy.

“The states themselves are being put at disadvantage when we have the federal government bidding against them” for medical equipment, Omar argues.

Neither, it's malice.

I don't know her well enough to say that. You must know her more than I do.

I HARDLY know Omar. I don't ever remember her speaking.

Yeah. I bet he wants to be called Czar Vlad “the impaler” Puke-tin!! That would fit the former (and still in my humble opinion in charge of) KGB top honcho.

Yes, he was Little Big KGB honcho and the profile fits him.

You don't have to know them. Who they are towers above them, thundering so we cannot hear what they say.

They're authoritarian to the core. Add to that the fact they aren't very nice people and that's a toxic mix.
