New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned her critics for brushing off her policies such as universal healthcare and tuition-free college as “free stuff” while supporting defense spending.
House Democrats have been deliberating the National Defense Authorization Act, which appropriates funds to the military, as they decide how much funding to put toward defense. While defense appropriations typically have bipartisan support, some of the left-leaning members of the Democratic Party have opposed the current appropriations plan.
On Thursday morning, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted a clip of her fellow Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna of California condemning the steady increase in defense spending that has taken place since President Barack Obama was in office. Khanna called it “Orwellian” to call the authorization “progressive” because the funding was going to defense rather than other liberal goals, including free college.

Orwellian is trusting a tyrant. The Senate is compromised as well.
Her brain cells are composed of fecal matter...
Dems complaining again about compensating the military who put their lives on the line for our freedom. What would happen to our country if we didn't have a military - no free stuff that's for sure. At least Trump didn't try to buy our freedom like Obama did with Iran - cash given to Iran during the middle of the night.
