Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hits back at Fox News 'communist' criticism over staff salaries

The progressive firebrand took to Twitter on Monday to say the GOP is “disconnected” from the simple concept that people should be paid a liveable wage. "The GOP is so disconnected from the basic idea that people should be paid enough to live that Fox actually thinks me paying a living wage in my office is 'communism,'" Ms Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. Pete Hegseth, a weekend co-host of “Fox & Friends”, said on Sunday that the Bronx-born lawmaker’s planned $52,000 salary for her staff as an example of communism and socialism.
