AOC: 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 margins in the Senate are razor thin, the margins in the House are razor thin, every single person's absence here has country-altering implications. 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 legal at this point. And I just find it shocking. And how is everyone pretending this is normal? This is not normal. This is not normal at all.”
