Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she would be 'happy' to be a bartender as she deemed Donald Trump 'two-bit union buster' who would sell the country out for 'a dollar.' 

'Republicans have attacked me by saying that I should go back to bartending,' the New York Democrat said during her speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC). 

'Let me tell you, I'm happy to any day of the week because there is nothing wrong with working for a living.'

'Donald Trump would sell this country for $1 if it meant lining his own pockets and greasing the palms of his Wall Street friends,' Ocasio-Cortez went on. 

The crowd chanted 'AOC' throughout her speech.  

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she would be 'happy' to be a bartender as she deemed Donald Trump 'two-bit union buster' who would sell the country out for 'a dollar'

'I, for one, am tired of hearing about how a two bit union Buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman who fights every single day to lift working people.' 

The speech was decidedly establishment-approved in a political arc that has seen the congresswoman go from burn-it-all-down progressive to Democrat who embraces the party's platform and its leaders.

This convention, Ocasio-Cortez was given a primetime, first-night speaking slot. Last time around in 2020, she got just 90 seconds to give a virtual speech to symbolically endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders for the nomination. 

'It’s depressing to watch someone who said, a few years ago, that she and Biden shouldn’t be in the same party, try to have her “Obama DNC” moment and ascend within the same corrupt party that’s currently underwriting a genocide,' Briahna Joy Gray, a former Sanders aide, wrote on X of Ocasio-Cortez's address.

‘In any other country, Joe Biden and I would not be in the same party,' Ocasio-Cortez said in 2020.

Democrats are gathered to formally nominate Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to lead the top of their ticket.  

'Over the next 78 days, we will have to pour every ounce, every minute, every moment into making history on November 5. 

'But we cannot send Kamala and Tim to the White House alone together. We must also elect strong democratic majorities in the House and in the Senate so that we can deliver on an ambitious agenda for the people. Because if you are a working parent trying to afford rent and childcare, Kamala is for you. If you are a senior who had to go back to work because your retirement didn't stretch far enough, Kamala is for you. If you're an immigrant family just starting your American story, Kamala is for you.'

'Republicans have attacked me by saying that I should go back to bartending,' the New York Democrat said during her speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC). 'Let me tell you, I'm happy to any day of the week because there is nothing wrong with working for a living'

In an antidote to 'Make America Great Again,' Democrats have taken to saying: 'we won't go back.' 

'When we knock on our neighbor's door, organize our communities and elect Kamala Harris to the presidency on November 5, we will send a loud message that the people of this nation will not go back,' Ocasio-Cortez said.
