Ocasio-Cortez: $15 wage only 'socialist' to those in 'dystopian capitalist nightmare'

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said the push for a $15 minimum wage is in response to millions of Americans living in poverty who are struggling or unable to meet basic needs.

"Any person who thinks that a $15 minimum wage is a crazy socialist agenda is living in a dystopian capitalist nightmare," Ocasio-Cortez said Sunday evening on MSNBC. "People are sleeping in their cars, they can't afford baby formula ... it is deeply, deeply shameful that we are even having this conversation."
