Transcript for Controversy over comments about Ocasio-Cortez's outfit

Hey, welcome back. So congresswoman-elect Alexandria ocasio-cortez talked about her family's financial struggles when she claimed. But this tweet was, that jacket and coat don't look like a girl who struggles. She wrote back that she's dressed for work and that focusing on her clothes is sexist, and a lot of people agree with her. Do you? Listen, the first thing I understand when I see what you wrote, sir, is that you know nothing about women's clothing. You know nothing about women's clothing. Listen, women can put together an outfit and make it look like a zillion dollars, it costs 45 cents. Exactly. If you got to look good, that's what women do, so that's a little -- you know, hush, boy.

You know really what I found interesting is that we have had newly elected officials sleep in their offices -- Joe Biden. -- Because they couldn't afford the rent on both sides.
