Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Hits Back At Ivanka Trump: ‘A Living Wage Isn’t A Gift, It’s A Right’
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hit back Tuesday at Ivanka Trump’s criticism of her Green New Deal and what she called a “guaranteed minimum.”
“As a person who actually worked for tips & hourly wages in my life, instead of having to learn about it 2nd-hand, I can tell you that most people want to be paid enough to live,” the Democratic congresswoman tweeted to her large Twitter following.
“A living wage isn’t a gift, it’s a right,” she added. “Workers are often paid far less than the value they create.”
