Love this quote [View all]

When asked if she's running for President, AOC responded:

“To me, this moment is not about campaigns or elections or about politics. It’s about making sure people are protected,” she said.
“And we’ve got people that are getting locked up for exercising their First Amendment rights, we’re getting two-year-olds getting deported into cells in Honduras, we’re getting people about to get kicked off of Medicaid. That, to me, is the most important thing.”

I don't understand why some seem to hate her so much.
