Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Okay With Sitting President Smoking Marijuana: "It's Fine With Me" (RealClearPolitics)

TMZ catches Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) walking the halls of Congress and ask her about presidential candidates and marijuana. Ocasio-Cortez said President Trump is "scared" of her 'Green New Deal' proposal and that "he doesn't own the airwaves anymore."

"We need to accept that there is nothing more inherently damaging about marijuana than say legal substances like alcohol or anything else," the freshman Congresswoman told TMZ on Tuesday. "So, I'm glad that we're moving towards a more just position as a party and that we're moving to legalize marijuana but not just legalize marijuana but to really make up for the damages done by the War on Drugs and the people who were unjustly incarcerated by the War on Drugs."
