OCASIO-CORTEZ: "Oh, wah, wah, wah." (Laughter)

They redid Texas. What they're just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn't fight and takes everything sitting down. And what they're mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight.”
