Kamala Harris praises Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez [View all]

Very different from Whoopi's opinion:

"I think she is introducing bold ideas that should be discussed," Harris said. "And I think it's good for the party. I frankly think it's good for the country."

"Let's look at the bold ideas, and I'm eager that we have those discussions. And when we are able to defend the status quo, then do it. And if there's not merit to that, then let's explore new ideas," she added.
