AOC has a meltdown over Trump's 'billionaire feeding frenzy' second term in rant with Jon Stewart

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voiced her frustration with President Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday, expressing particular disappointment that tech billionaires were seated in prime seating slots for the ceremony in the Capitol rotunda.

Ocasio-Cortez spoke about the Inauguration with Jon Stewart and admitted that she watched the Inauguration from home, despite skipping the ceremony. 

She sounded the alarm that all of the billionaires were willing to work with Trump in his second term, when during the first term they were uncomfortable about the direction he was taking the country. 

'All of these people that were scared before about being associated with him from the the most common basic level to the most elite level, they're they're all in now because this is now a billionaire feeding frenzy,' she said. 'It is a kiss a** race, man. It is.'

Ocasio-Cortez said that billionaires were basically lining up behind Trump and trying to show their 'fealty' to him. 

She also warned Americans that the people in charge of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X were essentially 'working for Trump.'

'We have elected the foxes to run the hen house,' she said. 'What Zuckerberg and Bezos, and all these people sitting behind them, they don't just represent billionaires, they represent all of the communication platform that people use in the United States.' 

'Of course you have Elon with his f***ing jumping around on the stage,' she added. 

Ocasio-Cortez also expressed her concerns that the Trumps were getting 'normalized' as fashion brands like Oscar de la Renta were dressing them for the inauguration. 

'What makes this go around with Trump so much more dangerous than the first time around is exactly what you're saying, he is much more normalized this time around,' she said. 'This time the norms are becoming him, the norms are embracing him.' 

 Ocasio-Cortez warned American workers that Trump was effectively fooling them. 

'What's really important for people to understand now and everyday of this administration is that you're being ripped off. You're being ripped off, dude! Like, everyone is being ripped off,' she said. 

The famous upstart Democratic member of 'The Squad' also criticized her party for being 'highly ineffectual' and 'predictable' in Trump's second term.

'Doesn't Trump's rise and the way he is operating make farce of that, in some ways he clowns them, it doesn't look like a holding to protocol it looks like submission,' she said. 

Ocasio-Cortez noted that Trump's reelection and the weak Democratic response was only making Democrats more disillusioned and more unwilling to fight his second term. 

‘Everything’s corrupt it’s all corrupt so who gives a f**k and you might as well just get yours,’ she said, trying to define the mood. 'The problem with that is that we give up entirely on a better world.’ 

She tried to demonstrate optimism about the future of the party, admitting she had a 'weird relationship with the Democratic party' that was 'one foot in and one foot out.' 

'To me, I do think that there is a little bit of this lost at sea moment happening,' she said, but said it was a 'tremendous opportunity' for change. 

'For me, I'm just trying s**t out,' she said. 'Like, I'm just trying s**t out, I'm in the batting cage and just waiting for a dinger.'
