Democratic-socialist And Congressional Candidate Alexandria Ocasio-cortez On Wednesday Declared Her Support For A “marshall Plan,” To Rebuild Hurricane-wracked Puerto Rico, Referring To The U.s. Territory As An “invaded,” Colony.
“120 years ago today (July 25th, 1898) Puerto Rico was invaded and made a colony of the United States,” began Ocasio-Cortez. “Puerto Ricans are US citizens. But they STILL don’t have the right to vote federally, nor do have voting rep in Congress (unless they move). Nor are they a sovereign people.”

After getting enthusiastic endorsement of Ocasio-Cortez and Democratic Socialism from all the interviewees, Phillips asked them how they thought America would pay for all of the free stuff she’s promising.
