Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was recently on "Who's Talking to Chris Wallace", the HBO Max feature hosted by CNN Anchor Chris Wallace. During the interview, Wallace confronted AOC with ads that used her to attack other Democrats during the recently concluded mid-term polls, and the young politician had a witty reply.

Wallace said that since AOC was controversial in areas like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, they used her name to attack other democratic leaders. However, AOC quickly replied, "we won, didn’t we?" Wallace also mentioned statements that accuse AOC and other democrats like her of taking the country towards the left extreme of the political spectrum.

AOC pointed out that Democratic Party had won in Pennsylvania and had surpassed performance expectations across the country. She further said that the government’s focus on core issues like healthcare and decriminalizing marijuana had helped them win. AOC also claimed that the youth turnout was responsible for Democratic Party’s solid performance in the mid-term polls.
