Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

And so, like, the problem is that... And he is a...

Such an emblematic symbol of this system, right?

Like this is a person that I feel is an embodiment of a lack of self-worth.

And when I see a lot of this administration –

the false machismo, the need to put gold on everything.

It's like this need to present yourself as richer than you are, stronger than you are, smarter than you are.

Why?

When it comes to, like, ICE and the district and the community, right, it's like, and, like, we see it.

Like, they're trying to instill fear in people.

They're trying to rip people out of their homes.

You know, I want to be very clear.

We need to be centering the humanity of these people because they are Americans.

Like, come on.

You're going to tell me that someone came here at two years old and has gone through American schools?

You're going to tell me that someone's come here with nothing but the shirt on their back and they've been doing nothing but caring for other people's grandparents?

and building American homes and

putting themselves through school.

And you're going to tell me that's not American?

It's disgusting.

Another real problem with it is when we go back to that, that like I need someone else to be.
