Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia-- AOC: Wah wah wah.

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

We have an obligation to defend our constituents and democracy?

I like the finally fighting back part. I'll just leave it at that.

While I have a good deal of respect for Ocasio-Cortez, that sounds like a self-serving statement. It seems to me the redistricting campaigns were independent decisions by Democratic governors. I think Newsom, regardless of what you think about him would have something to say about her framing.

As a side note, Newsom has also thrown the party under the bus with a past statement or two.
