Alexandria Ocasio - Cortez On CBS: To Fund My Statist Proposals, We'l Take From The Money Makers...Tax'm 70% & Give It To The Leaches https://media.townhall.com/townhall/reu/ha/townhall/reu/o/2018/334/1efe2072-f4fc-486c-9b7e-cc0a77f2a760.png Earlier this week, an anonymous Twitter account posted a (since deleted) video of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez dancing in college.
