AOC Says Sen. Mitch McConnell’s Ongoing Absence from the Senate Is Not Normal

EXCERPT

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "First of all, how is it that we have sitting elected members of Congress going missing for months at a time when, especially right now when the margin — margin in the Senate are razor-thin, the margins in the House are razor-thin, every single person’s absence here has country-altering implication. And the fact that people can just go missing without explanation — not just Mitch McConnell. You had another member here that was just gone for four months and didn’t tell anyone where they were, no whereabouts, no transparency. I mean, this is — I don’t even know how this is legal. I really don’t even know how this is illegal at this point. And it — I just find it shocking. And how is everyone pretending this is normal? This is not normal. This is not normal, at all."
