The New York congresswoman says they "pitted white working-class Americans against brown and black working-class Americans to just screw over all working-class Americans.”
Ocasio-Cortez also blasted FDR's "New Deal" which created several programs and projects aimed at helping the U.S. recover from the Great Depression. “The New Deal was an extremely economically racist policy that drew literal red line around black and brown communities,” says Ocasio-Cortez.
