Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism?

AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care.

So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.

I’m not really a fire siren emoji type of poster but this is a good clip that takes on the “communism” narrative from Republicans/Fox/Trump.

Reporter: Polling shows that amongst Democratic voters, you are their top nominee. Your thoughts on that?

AOC: You’re going to have to ask voters about that.

Reporter: One of your colleagues says the DSA is a communist organization…

AOC: I just don’t care. I think these folks call everyone they don’t like a communist.

People can do what they want. I’m not here to be the belief police.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Reporter: Should some DSAers who have called themselves communists educate themselves as to what—

AOC: It’s a free country. You’ve got people with all sorts of affiliations in this country. And the whole point is that we don’t politically persecute people. You can hold whatever views you have in this country, and that’s how America works.

.@AOC: “We are here because in November, Democrats have to win a majority in Congress…And we need a firewall against an administration that is hell bent on tearing down, in four years, what it took this country 250 years to build.”
