Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the high-profile freshman from New York, is leaving open the option of forcing House members to return to Washington to cast a vote on the $2 trillion stimulus package barreling through Congress.
The New York Democrat has expressed her frustration with reports of the stimulus deal, suggesting it's too tilted towards corporations. The deal was reached between senators from both parties -- including the senior Democratic senator from her state, Chuck Schumer, and the White House. On Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez told CNN she is not ruling out asking for a recorded vote, which would force lawmakers to return to Washington and vote in-person, something that most members of Congress are eager to avoid amid the coronavirus pandemic. Asked if she had concerns about forcing lawmakers to return, which would be an unpopular move, she said, "Of course."

Did she mention how she, as a nobody freshman, would do that?
This mentally challenged mousy dip-stick, is so full of herself.
Among other things...
No AOC doesn’t control Pelosi.
Pelosi is the ultimate political mob / DC insider.
I started a business in 1985. I was young. My CPA the 1st time I came into her office, looked me right into the eye and said.. YOUNG MAN, LISTEN TO ME. WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, ALWAYS ASK THE GOVERNMENT TO SAVE BUSINESSES.... IF THE BUSINESS CAN BE SAVED...YOU WILL HAVE A JOB. If you are a worker, and the company is lost...you are up the creek without a paddle.
She’s literally putting the boomer House Dems up against the wall. LOL, what a great example of a commie.
Yeah, like those corporations that employ people.
The left just wants full on welfare.
The bill is not going to happen. They can’t stomach giving Trump a win and actually giving average Americans money.
Why does Pelosi even show up? AOC is running the House.
Maybe if the ‘rats delay long enough we won’t need it. There is so much garbage in that bill that this delay could be a blessing in disguise and even providential. Let’s step up our prayers.
She’s going to force nothing.
I think there’s some provision that in the absence of a unanimous vote, any Rep can call for an in person vote.
Justin Amash made a similar threat, I believe.
She’ll Dance until they surrender and return
Pelousy is planning to use “unanimous consent” to pass the bill. Sandy can derail that.
So she’s the Speaker of the House??
Small brain: Huge ego: Big problems
How does a freshwoman congresswoman have the say so?
