AOC Says That the Filibuster Is Not Needed Because the Senate ‘Already Amplifies Minority Power’

TRANSCRIPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "Why defend a 60-vote filibuster when the Senate already amplifies minority power so that the 50 Democratic senators already represent millions and millions and millions more Americans than 50 Republican senators? And so, I would argue that 50 Republican senators is already a built in kind of filibuster-esque firewall.”
