If I understand your point, I agree that Republicans deserve a relentless contingent of spotlights and microphones shoved in their faces, and I blame MSM for the failure to do their jobs.

AOC did make pointed references to gerrymandering, voter suppression, and Ted Cruz’s threats to filibuster Biden appointments. The fact that Republicans are the main culprits was implicit.

IMHO, what she did with this single opportunity was far more effective. She modeled what it looks and sounds like to be an unambiguous warrior for democracy. She rallied the troops and armored them for the battles ahead. I hope you had a chance to watch the entire interview.
