EXCERPT:
OCASIO-CORTEZ: "I think there is something to be said about the region’s partners being able to support and step up Palestinians. However, that does not abdicate the United States from our historic role that we have played in the world of accepting refugees and allowing people to restart their lives here. And I also want to address something very specific about what Governor DeSantis said when he said, 'all Gazans are anti-Semitic.' How incredibly destructive and dangerous that rhetoric is. We just had a six-year-old boy stabbed 26 times this morning because of rhetoric like that, and it is dangerous, it is unacceptable, it is reckless, and no leader in the United States of America should be amplifying a message like that."
