Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday blamed 'conservative Democrats' for allowing the federal eviction moratorium to expire overnight, causing millions of residents to be left at risk of removal from their homes.
The federal eviction moratorium expired at midnight on Saturday despite efforts by top Democrats to expand the legislation that had been extended multiple times throughout the pandemic. During a Sunday interview on CNN, Ocasio-Cortez contended that the "House and House leadership had the opportunity to vote to extend the moratorium."
"And there were many, and there was, frankly, a handful of conservative Democrats in the House that threatened to get on planes rather than hold this vote," the New York Democrat added.
President Joe Biden was adamant about extending the moratorium but made his vocal call for House lawmakers to extend it on Thursday, three days before it was set to expire.
Ocasio-Cortez criticized the short notice, calling it a "needlessly difficult situation.”
“There is something to be said for the fact that this court order came down on the White House a month ago and the White House waited until the day before the House adjourned to release a statement asking on Congress to extend the moratorium," she said, referencing a 5-4 Supreme Court order on the moratorium allowing it to stay in place.

Luv that woman-she’s one of us. Heh heh.
Maybe AOC can pay their rent from HER own pocket.
Pay your bills or get out.
Enough freebies.
When the current “Landlords”, owners of the rental buildings lose their ownership as banks foreclose on unpaid mortgages, I’m sure the NEW owners, the BANKS, will continue to allow nonpaying tenants to occupy their “homes”. Sure!!!
If you believe that, seek help ASAP
Still Thinking blames COVIDiot Chicken Little Dems for making (and enabling) people to sit on the couch over such a benign virus. Now they think it’s a way of life and the goobermint printing numbers on checks somehow creates wealth (goods and services).
The leader of ‘the squid’ leading the way with her insanity.
Yet, the whole democratic party listens to her as if she were Lenin or Stalin. Marx wrote her bible.
Oh, wait!
The whole democratic party is now the ACP (American Communist Party). Lite socialism is not enough for them; they want complete control under communism.
what a surprise....You mean I can’t stay here for free forever?????????????
They think it creates wealth because that’s what dems keep telling them....
Conservative dems?? Doesn’t exist.
There are no conservative Democrats.
There are a few that are not full blown commies.
100%
That and when the property taxes that are past due come in and they cant pay, then the local communities can provide all that “Free” housing to the moochers.
OH wait..banks come first.
No they all are.
There are a few that keep it hidden when needed to keep their jobs.
A “conservative democrat” is one who wouldn’t necessarily vote for concentration camps with ovens, but wouldn’t oppose them.
AOC has to pay her rent now ?
I was not aware there were any left.
So she thinks people should get to squat rent free forever? What an imbecile.
Conservative Democrats?
If that’s not an oxymoron I don’t know what is!
“Conservative Democrats? Never heard of one.
