In an interview with VICE's Anand Giridharadas, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said people should just say "no" to going back to work when the President speaks about reopening the economy and society.



"When we talk about this idea of 'reopening society' you know, only in America, does the President, when the President tweets about liberation, does he mean go back to work," the Congresswoman said. "When we have this discussion about going back or reopening, I think a lot people should just say 'no,' we’re not going back to that. We’re not going back to working 70 hour weeks just so that we can put food on the table and not even feel any sort of semblance of security in our lives."
