In an interview on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) that she gives “zero fucks” about criticism she’s received from members of the Democratic party.
She added: “If you think activism is inherently divisive – I mean, today is Martin Luther King Day. People called Martin Luther King divisive in his time. We forget he was wildly unpopular when advocating for the Civil Rights Act. I think that what we really need to realize is that social movements are the moral compass and should be the moral compass for our politics.”
