AOC: ‘In a Lot of Ways, We’re All Kind of Bernie’s Successor’

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: “Well, first I want to say, in a lot of ways, we’re all kind of Bernie’s successor. I think that this class consciousness that young people have today has been a big part of Bernie’s life. And so, I say that because I know that that is also what he was saying and it’s what he wants. But also, you know, in terms of the class piece, I — you know, to your point, a lot of it just had to do with the experiences of my life, which is the experiences that a lot of people have. I think that — so, I grew up in a household that was actually not very — it was political, but it was not very political at the same time. Like, my parents identified as independents, they were very skeptical of the political system.”
