Democratic presidential contender Elizabeth Warren threw her weight behind a plan proposed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that includes taxpayer-funded welfare benefits for illegal aliens and increased government intervention in the economy, including nationwide rent control.
Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is an outspoken member of the United States’ largest Marxist group, the Democratic Socialists of America. She is one of four members of a congressional grouping known as “The Squad,” which advocates radical left-wing policies and is fiercely critical of President Donald Trump.
