AOC, Cori Bush slam lack of diversity among Senate’s infrastructure bill negotiators

A pair of “Squad” lawmakers have criticized the bipartisan group of senators who voted to push ahead with a massive infrastructure plan as being too white.

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Cori Bush (D-Mo.) slammed the group of 22 Democratic and Republican negotiators after the Senate voted 67-32 to advance debate on the critical legislation Wednesday evening. “Is this the Bipartisan Infrastructure Group or the audience at a Kid Rock concert?” Bush asked in a tweet alongside the hashtag “#NegotiationsSoWhite,” a play on the controversy over the lack of diversity in years past at the Academy Awards.
