Colbert obviously follows politics so he knew exactly what to ask and of course AOC didn't disappoint. I think that Colbert would be happy if all he had were political guests. And I've always admired AOC, hard working and informed. And since I'm stuck with Stefanik as a Rep., I signed up for AOC's newsletter instead. '

...like Rep. Ocasio-Cortez with the strength to hold strong through this bad time we're going through.

But we need more, and I agree with OcasiozCortez, we WILL retake the House this November!!!

As I said above, since I'm stuck with Stefanik as a Rep., who couldn't care less what think, I signed up for AOC's terrific newsletter instead. And I also agree that we'll retake the House, any chance that Gym Jordan will be replaced?
