Warren praises Ocasio-Cortez in Time 100


Warren praises Ocasio-Cortez in Time 100
By Justin Wise - 04/17/19 04:15 PM EDT


Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Wednesday praised freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), saying millions of people are now taking cues from the former bartender.

"A year ago, she was taking orders across a bar," Warren writes in an essay on Ocasio-Cortez for Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People" list. "Today, millions are taking cues from her. She reminds all of us that even while greed and corruption slow our progress, even while armies of lobbyists swarm Washington, in our democracy, true power still rests with the people.

"And she’s just getting started," Warren, a 2020 presidential candidate, added.


In the essay, Warren celebrated Ocasio-Cortez's journey to becoming a congresswoman, noting that "her commitment to putting power in the hands of the people is forged in fire."

"Coming from a family in crisis and graduating from school with a mountain of debt, she fought back against a rigged system and emerged as a fearless leader in a movement committed to demonstrating what an economy, a planet and a government that works for everyone should look like," she said.
