Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., is pressing her party to wield their power to push far-left policies such as passing Medicare for All and reparations, and abolishing U.S. (ICE).
During remarks on Tuesday, Pressley declared, “Alright, now as I close I have a message for my colleagues in the House who are likely watching. , when we have the power, you have to use it. Democrats, can you hear me now? When we have the power we have to use it.
“Now, please don’t tell me about a majority, show me a majority. Show me a people-powered majority with a mandate for justice, with a mandate for compassion, with a mandate for progress,” she declared.
“Democrats, don’t just talk about healthcare justice, pass Medicare for All. Democrats, don’t just talk about abortion justice, pass the EACH Act, and repeal the Hyde Amendment. Democrats, don’t just talk about black lives mattering, enact reparations now. Democrats, don’t just talk about ending ICE’s terror, take every last dollar from them and abolish ICE,” the congresswoman continued.
Pressley, a member of the progressive cadre of House Democrats known as “,” has served in the chamber since early 2019.
Republicans suffered an electoral rout during the midterm elections, resulting in the loss of the House and Senate majorities, though President can veto any legislation the Democratic-controlled Congress sends to his desk during his final two years.
“The fascist occupant of the White House tried his hardest to end DEI and has pushed Black women out of the workforce. Now, Black women are flexing their power and poised to lead at every level of government. And were bringing friends,” Pressley said Wednesday on X.
The White House and the Republican National Committee did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment on Friday.
