New York Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s speech slammed the government shutdown, which she called an “erosion of our democracy,” with a story about one of her constituents, an air traffic controller worried about his missing paycheck. The congresswoman also took aim at the Muslim ban and anti-immigrant sentiment of the Trump administration.

Ocasio-Cortez’s fellow Democrat Kamala Harris still holds the title for the most viewed C-SPAN tweet video of a Senator for her questioning of then-Supreme Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing, which got 7.14 million views.
