The New York Daily News\u2019 editorial, \u201cEnemy of the Good: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Makes the Wrong Choice,\u201d pointed out that the rising star from New York\u2019s 14th Congressional District was the sole Democrat who voted against the bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot the kind of distinction a rising star legislator should be proud of,\u201d the paper wrote. <\/p>\n

The editors took issue with her claim that the bill did not go far enough.<\/p>\n

The progressive lawmaker said the bill left out any real aid for Americans struggling to pay rent or purchase necessities including food after being left jobless or stranded due to the virus.<\/p>\n

“My concern is that we are giving away the farm,” Ocasio-Cortez said.\u00a0“I cannot go back to my communities and tell them to just wait for CARES four because we have now passed three, four pieces of legislation that’s related to coronavirus. And every time it’s the next one, the next one, the next one, and my constituents are dying.”<\/p>\n

The paper found the\u00a0argument <\/a>unsound.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah: The first aid bill didn\u2019t go far enough,\u201d the editorial read. \u201cNor did the second. Nor did the third. The fourth didn\u2019t get there either, but the response to crises happen in steps. If everyone said no to each massive package because it didn\u2019t go all the way, we\u2019d all be even deader in the water.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
