“They are accusing Democrats of saying we spend too much,” the New York representative said.

“For anyone that wants to entertain that thought, I ask you to think about the last time a person said has said in this country that the government does too much for them, that their social security check was too high, that teachers are paid too much,” AOC continued.

However, Ocasio-Cortez wasn’t prepared for Roy’s answer.

“My friend from New York, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, said, ‘I ask you to think about the last time a person has said in this country that the government does too much for them. When was the last time anyone has heard or seen that’” he said, quoting the Congresswoman.
