Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) commented on Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong‘s past statements about abolishing police and prisons during an interview on ABC’s This Week on Sunday. Cortez was also asked about her stance on such issues.
Ocasio-Cortez used a joke to answer these questions, quoting a New York City councilman’s line about them. Co-anchor Jonathan Karl asked Ocasio-Cortez for her opinion on Hong, a democratic socialist who made headlines last week after a deleted post in which she argued for canceling Thanksgiving.
