‘It’s not even a raise’: AOC upset at congressional Democrats for tabling pay hike

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showed frustration with Congressional Democrats after they pulled a bill to pay raises, calling the effort 'superficial.'

"Yep. Voting against cost of living increases for members of Congress may sound nice, but doing so only increases pressure on them to keep dark money loopholes open. This makes campaign finance reform *harder.* ALL workers deserve cost of living increases, incl min wage workers," the New York Democrat said in a tweet storm Tuesday in response to congressional Democrats tabling a pay raise for members.

Tie their raises to their job approval ratings, they would get a pay cut every year.
