AOC Acknowledges That America Is Seeing ‘Record Profits,’ Still Supports Auto Union Strike (Update)

***Update (10/08/19 1:04pm)

It was understood by numerous news outlets, including our own, that the collective gathered the same impression from her statements. After having been fact checked, this may no longer be the case.

***End update***

Ocasio-Cortez could become a regular cast member on SNL and would instantly be funnier than most of the women on that show.

The embattled rookie lawkaker is just natually hilarious.

She doesn’t even have to try.

Check out her tweet about the auto workers strike.

AOC doesn’t even realize what she said…

Incredibly inspired by GM’s almost 50,000 workers for having the courage to strike for the dignified work they deserve.

In a time of record profits, workers should prosper, not suffer.

That’s why unions play a key role in an economy that works for everyone.

Solidarity w/@UAW🌹

Reactions:

LOL .. that Trump economy is giving them more hours to work. Workers love overtime dollars, unless they’re selfish leftists who think they are share holders in their own company & ungrateful for the job.

Wait did a Democrat just admit that the economy’s booming and not bordering on recession?

So a few points here…I read, “record profits.” Finally agree that the economy is prospering. Also, you’re pushing for a green new deal that I’m really curious what impact it would have on these peoples jobs? I’m sorry, but the hypocrisy runs far with your statement.
