Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took a shot at her party’s leadership, calling for Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to step aside. The self-proclaimed socialist congresswoman said that she herself is “not ready” to serve as speaker, but lamented that the Democratic party needs new leadership in Congress.
