Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Names The Far-Right Lawmaker Controlling Kevin McCarthy [View all]
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is not in control of the House Republican caucus and accused him of bowing to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
In an interview on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” the former White House press secretary noted that in order to become House speaker, McCarthy had to cut some deals. “We still don’t know the details. Do you think he’s actually running his caucus or do you think someone else is?” Psaki asked.
“He’s not,” Ocasio-Cortez replied. “I think you’ve got Marjorie Taylor Greene running the caucus, and she makes very common public statements to that effect. Every time something irks her, she communicates that McCarthy is doing her bidding. And I think that this is something that is quite clear.”
