‘It is not science fiction’: AOC defends her luxury apartment by saying they should be 'basic rights'

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended her decision to move into a luxury apartment by saying that luxury should be the standard of living for everyone.

“I move into this building, and it’s marketed as a ‘luxury’ building in D.C., right? I’m keeping it 100% with you,” the New York Democrat said at a town hall last week. “So I move into this luxury building in D.C. And what does it have? It’s an efficient building, it’s clean, it has public space, it has a rooftop garden — y’all watching my Instagram — it has all these things, right? It has clean air, it has clean water. And I think about this and I’m like, ‘Hm, this is what a luxury building is like.'”
