\n\n\n\n\nConservative political commentator Candace Owens got involved in a Twitter argument between former White House press secretary Sarah Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, accusing the New York congresswoman of hypocrisy in her response to the coronavirus.\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\u201cTrump has NO PLAN to get people safely back to work,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez said in response to a Sanders tweet criticizing her\u00a0comments<\/a>\u00a0calling for American workers to boycott their jobs. \u201cGOP Govs like Kemp are sending vulnerable workers to die w\/ false claims of safety. Trump also pushed an unproven, dangerous treatment as a ‘cure’ & firing experts who want to vet claims. Last thing you care about is safety.\u201d\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\u201cYou routinely complain that poverty is the reason that more minorities will die from Covid-19,” Owens responded. \u201cBut you advocate for a BOYCOTT of employment, thereby impoverishing millions MORE minorities. You\u2019re an intellectual coward that only responds to white people that criticize you.\u201d\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\u201cYou\u2019re a racist, radical communist that wants to expand government control and dependency\u2014 and you are using the plight of minorities to fulfill your sick and twisted goals,\u201d she\u00a0added<\/a>.\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\nOcasio-Cortez said earlier this week that low-income workers should boycott their jobs to protest economic insecurity when national stay-at-home orders are lifted.\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\nOnly in America does “liberation” mean going back to work.@AOC<\/a> sits down with @anandwrites<\/a> to talk about why a return to normalcy isn’t enough in a post-coronavirus world. SEAT AT THE TABLE premieres tonight at 10p. #seatatthetable<\/a>\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\u201cWhen we talk about this idea of reopening society, you know, only in America does the president \u2014 when the president tweets about liberation \u2014 does he mean go back to work. When we have this discussion about going back or reopening, I think a lot of people should just say \u2018no\u2019 \u2014 we\u2019re not going back to that,\u201d she said.\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re not going back to working 70-hour weeks just so that we could put food on the table and not even feel any sort of semblance of security in our lives.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
