AOC needs to shut up and step to the back of the line. Nowhere in Adams comments did he mention "low skilled Congress folks."
"After footage of New York mayor Eric Adams talking about “low-skill workers” went viral, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called out the classism and anti-worker sentiment in the phrase.
While Adams was speaking at a press conference regarding closing businesses in response to the Omicron outbreak, something Adams is loudly against, the mayor said, “My low-skill workers, my cooks, my dishwashers, my messengers, my shoe shine people, those that work in Dunkin’ Donuts, they don’t have the academic skills to sit in the corner office. They need this.”
AOC-“The suggestion that any job is “low skill” is a myth perpetuated by wealthy interests to justify inhumane working conditions, little/no healthcare, and low wages,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Wednesday, reiterating the response spreading across social media"
