America's socialist Barbie has a plan to stop your working class family from getting some economic relief during this crisis.

Emily Zanotti reports:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took to Twitter Wednesday to chastize the Senate for a proposed plan to recess immediately after voting to pass a massive, $2 trillion coronavirus relief package, but privately, CNN reports, the Democratic socialist threatened to hold up coronavirus relief herself by forcing her House colleagues to return to Washington, D.C., to vote on the measure in person.

“The Senate might ADJOURN FOR A MONTH after this bill?” Ocasio-Cortez whined on social media, after discovering, from CNN, that the Senate plans to adjourn after passing coronavirus relief Wednesday. “This is completely dangerous and unacceptable. We HAVE to be able to respond to people’s needs. People don’t have this time. Even IF the Senate can even return on the 20th (big IF) that may not be enough time to solve May.”

But Ocasio-Cortez’s complaint does not necesssarily stem from her concern for her fellow man. Like other members of the progressive “Squad” — Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — Ocasio-Cortez does not support the bipartisan relief package, which she says gives too much power and money to corporations. Instead, she and others are behind a 1,400-page House bill, which pairs elements of the Senate legislation with elements of the Green New Deal, massive handouts to labor unions, a $30,000-per-person student loan bailout, and dramatic changes to the American electoral process.

In fact, Ocasio-Cortez and Omar have said the House bill doesn’t go far enough. Omar participated in an online townhall hosted by Democratic socialists Wednesday night, designed to marshal support behind a “just stimulus.”

If the Senate leaves after passing their bill, Ocasio-Cortez’s chances of forcing Democrats and Republicans back to the bargaining table over the House bill all but vanish.
