'That's all you got?' House Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Pramila Jayapal said in response to continued attacks by President Donald Trump and Republicans.
Liberal Democrats in Congress aren't shying away from the term"socialism," despite efforts by President Donald Trump and Republicans to weaponize the word against the Democratic Party in 2020.
Pocan and his co-chair, Representative Pramila Jayapal, highlighted previous presidents who faced similar scrutiny for government programs that are now popular, such as Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman. "Like today, the quest for transformative change was opposed by big business, by Wall Street, by the political establishment, by the Republican Party and by the conservative wing of FDR's own Democratic Party," Sanders, an independent, told a welcoming crowd.
Appealing to a conservative crowd at a campaign event in Iowa Tuesday evening, Trump pivoted to Sanders' and Ocasio-Cortez's support for policies like the Green New Deal and Medicare for All, likening such stances as a call for socialism.
