"No one ever makes a billion dollars. You take a billion dollars," Ocasio-Cortez said on Monday, receiving applause. "I'm not here to villainize and to say billionaires are inherently morally corrupt. ... It's to say that this system that we live in, life in capitalism always ends in billionaires."

Regan slammed AOC for her "nonsensical math," calling it “AOC Math” during “Trish Regan Primetime” Tuesday evening.
