Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez actually said...

"Aspirations are not antithetical or in any way a violation of Title VII under our Court's precedence..."

"I think the question here is not whether people can file complaints and charges with the EEOC. It is who is filing them and why, and the aspirations themselves are consistent with our goals."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez. I found some of the opening statements quite interesting that we heard from our witnesses here today, plenty of claims being thrown out there."

"What I can say is what is factually accurate around the state of our laws, and that is aspirations are not unconstitutional."
