Puerto Rico Is More Conservative Than AOC Thinks
17th July 2022
There’s a historic bill before Congress right now that would allow Puerto Rico to vote on whether to stay a US territory, become a state, or become independent.
What’s holding up such a momentous occasion? A source closely tracking the bill confirms that New York City Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been a significant source of delay. The Democrat has remained cagey about her stance on Puerto Rican statehood, choosing to instead complain about American colonialism and imperialism.
