‘We Should Give Her The Nobel Prize In Economics’: Candace Owens Rips AOC On Minimum Wage Comments

After Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) criticized Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough for ruling that a minimum wage should not be included in the COVID-19 relief package, she was slammed by various conservatives, including author Candace Owens, who asserted, “We should give her the Nobel prize in economics.”

On Tuesday night, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, “It is utterly embarrassing that ‘pay people enough to live’ is a stance that’s even up for debate. Override the parliamentarian and raise the wage. McD’s workers in Denmark are paid $22/hr + 6 wks paid vacation. $15/hr is a deep compromise — a big one, considering the phase in.”
