Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has faulted President Joe Biden for not including undocumented immigrants in his blanket pardon he announced in early October for people convicted of possessing marijuana on a federal level.

The New York lawmaker made the comments during an episode of “Pod Save America” that came out on Oct. 25. Her comments were part of a discussion on how the Democrat Party has not done enough to win over Latino voters.
