Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., called on Thursday for Washington, D.C. to receive statehood, indicating that residents didn't have the "right to vote."
"DC was the 1st territory in the United States to free the enslaved. It’s where Black Americans fled the tyranny of slavery & towards greater freedom, to DC. Yet today it’s where 2nd class citizenship reigns, and the right to vote is denied," she said.
It's unclear what she was referring to since citizens in Washington, D.C. have the right to vote like every other citizen. She appeared to be complaining about the fact that D.C. congressmen and congresswomen can't vote in the House of Representatives. DC residents also do not have any representation in the Senate. During a D.C. statehood hearing on Thursday, she also seemed to conflate former slaves with people currently living in the district.

Nothing in that swamp was given by VA.

I mean, the water’s already hot, right?
Perfect. That’s what most of AOC’s thoughts must be like. And she is Congress.
They still vote, bird brain.
MWBA...Make Washington Baltimore Again!
Static electricity will do that.
Gotta change the US Constitution.
Does she not know this?

The District of Columbia should be reduced to a small area encompassing both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue and the building of the Supreme Court. The only legal residents of that much reduced district would be the tenants in the White House. Everybody else commutes in on a daily basis.
The remainder of the District of Columbia becomes Federal County, and officially part of Maryland.
There is precedent, you know. Arlington County, Virginia, was once part of the District of Columbia, until it was ceded back to Virginia. The Federal Government was never going to grow big enough to occupy all that land.
We gave the Virginia part back in 1846.
The part of DC that was given by VA was given back a long time ago. It’s called “Arlington County”.
OMG...this may be the stupidest comment she has ever made..well ..probably not

Well if DC doesnt become a state then they should annex it. Bunch of blue crybabies that is ruining our good state.
Wait a while … she'll come up with something even stupider.

During a DC statehood hearing on Thursday, she also seemed to conflate former slaves with people currently living in the district.
“The people who fled here to the District of Columbia to flee slavery because of the enlightenment of this community are now disenfranchised because of that very act,” she said, according to The Washington Post.
