Ever since her surprising victory in a New York City congressional primary last June, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has not been shy about expressing ideas some see as radical, from the Green New Deal to proposing a 70 percent marginal tax rate for the wealthy. On 60 Minutes on Sunday night, she made another bold statement about President Trump being a racist.
When Anderson Cooper asked Ocasio-Cortez why she doesn’t speak about Trump very often, she called him a “symptom of a problem,” adding that “the president certainly didn’t invent racism, but he’s certainly given a voice to it, and expanded it and created a platform for those things.”
