AOC: ‘For a Very Long Time, Working Class Was a Euphemism for Race and Gender’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CORTEZ: “That’s right. And for a very long time, working class was a euphemism for race and gender. And it was really about a very specific and only one slice of the working class. And we are talking about the actual working class in this country, which is people who are they? They make a living from their job, from working that they’re trying to put food on the table, put their kids through school, and if you’re lucky, be able to save up for a rainy day. But increasingly, people are not able to do that."
