Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Congress is filled with non-members for the speech of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu given the large amount of Democrats who refused to attend.
The lawmaker made the claim when replying to a publication on X claiming that "roughly 100 of the 212 House Democrats and 27 of 51 Senate Democrats (and Dem-caucusing independents) are in the chamber for Netanyahu's speech." "That's around half of each caucus absent for Netanyahu's speech," adds the publication by Axios reporter Andrew Solender.
