Ocasio-Cortez said 'the goal is just to open a line of communication' and that 'working people have a seat at the table in what's happening in Congress.'
Pelosi told reporters that she is"looking forward to this meeting" on her way to her office. She is scheduled to give a news conference later Friday morning. Ocasio-Cortez told CNN on Thursday that"the goal is just to open a line of communication" and that"working people have a seat at the table in what's happening in Congress.
Shortly after Congress addressed the issue, Pelosi made incendiary comments to The New York Times about how the group of progressive freshmen"didn't have any following" in Congress, leading Ocasio-Cortez to tell The Washington Post that Pelosi has been"singling out" freshman congresswomen of color with her criticism.
