She's not entirely wrong. Republican policies are often profit-driven, not in the least motivated by the needs of others. Heartless bastards.

New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blasted Vivek Ramaswamy for his speech at the Republican National Convention, ridiculing his message to college students."And our message to Gen Z is this. You're going to be the generation that actually saves this country. You want to be a rebel? You want to be a hippie? You want to stick it to the man? Show up on your college campus and try calling yourself a conservative," Ramaswamy said as he concluded his address.
"Say you want to get married, have kids, teach them to believe in god and pledge allegiance to their country. Because you know what? Fear has been infectious in this country but courage can be contagious too. That too is what it means to be an American," he added. Ocasio-Cortez, on her end, took to X to tell the former presidential candidate, who dropped out after the Iowa caucuses, that "young people don't take well to bigoted leaders who attack LGBTQ+ rights, outlaw abortion, cozy up to gun manufacturers+ oil execs, and support a rapist for President."
"If you want to be cool so badly, try giving a damn about other people beyond yourself. Might open a few doors," the lawmaker added.
