Democrat US House Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested in an interview recently that people should not go back to work, in an effort to essentially blow up the system. Sarah Sanders was asked about it on Fox News this morning and she said that “people are hurting.”
She then later tweeted about it earlier, saying that AOC was “wrong” about boycotting work and that the goal should be for Americans to “SAFELY return to work.” AOC responded by saying that “Trump has NO PLAN” and that Governors are “sending vulnerable workers to die.” She then finished by saying the last thing Sanders cares about “is safety.”
Sanders Tweet: AOC says Americans should boycott work. As usual she’s wrong. The goal should be for Americans to SAFELY return to work because unlike AOC and members of Congress, most of us actually have to show up at work to get paid and support our families! #ProtectLivesProtectLivelihoods
AOC Tweet: Trump has NO PLAN to get people safely back to work. GOP Govs like Kemp are sending vulnerable workers to die w/ false claims of safety. Trump also pushed an unproven, dangerous treatment as a “cure” & firing experts who want to vet claims. Last thing you care abt is safety.
AOC Tweet: And by the way, setting up vulnerable workers to grind 70 hours a week to barely survive and STILL not have health insurance is unsafe too.

Sarah Sanders said in the Fox News interview “This is the same congresswoman who just last week was celebrating the devastation of the oil and gas industries and the hundreds and thousands of jobs that are tied to that because she hoped it would provide momentum for her Green New Deal.”
She went further, “Most Americans, unlike those in congress, have to show up in order to get paid. They don’t have the luxury of not doing their job and still being able to provide for her family like she does as a member of congress. There are people that are really hurting. The President is looking for ways to protect them. She might want to join in that effort.”
She then closed by saying, “She may want to remember that when she was a bartender and not a member of congress, she had to show up, to do her job, to get a paycheck.”

AOC is calling for a National Work Boycott after Coronavirus is over. “When we have this discussion about going back or re-opening, I think a lot people should just say ‘no’… we’re not going back to that.” People WANT to go back to work. She is so out of touch.
