OCASIO-CORTEZ: "Well, I was going to say, and to that we should say, 'Why don’t you want our schools to teach anti-racism?' Why don’t Republicans want their kids to know the tradition of anti-racism in the United States? Why are Republicans trying to ban books in this country? Why are Republicans trying to ban speech? Why are they trying to fire certain professors? Why are they attacking the core roots of history in this country that strays anything beyond what we already know? In fact, you have folks like Kevin McCarthy making statements that sound like he's never even read Martin Luther King in his life, trying to ban books that actually talk about the history of the Civil Rights Movement and institutional racism of the United States. So why don’t Republicans want us to learn how to not be racist? Why don’t Republicans want kids to know how to not be racist?"
