Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley clashed over reallocating government funds to expedite COVID-19 relief
Ocasio-Cortez tweeted earlier Thursday, suggesting that, in order to get the recent COVID-19 surges "under control, we need to pay people to stay home."
Haley, a former GOP governor of South Carolina who spoke at the Republican National Convention earlier this year, responded to the progressive congresswoman's tweet, asking her where she expects to get the funds to "pay" people to quarantine.
"AOC, Are you suggesting you want to pay people to stay home from the money you take by defunding the police?" Haley replied. "Or was that for the student debts you wanted to pay off, the Green New Deal or Medicare for All?"
Ocasio-Cortez tore into Haley and other Republicans in Congress in her reply.
"Nikki, I'm suggesting Republicans find the spine to stand up to their corporate donors & vote for the same measures they did in March, except without the Wall St bailout this time," she wrote. "And I know you're confused abt actual governance but police budgets are municipal, not federal."
