the supposedly "racist" New Deal, is based on only one or two of it's aspects, such as the Housing Authority, a program whose discriminatory features were addressed in subsequent years.
Like her, you ignore all the other New Deal programs such as Social Security, the laws establishing Minimum Wage and the Right to Collective Bargaining -- All things that fail to fit her "racist" narrative.
As to AOC and her family, I need to know nothing more than the fact of their citizenship to know they benefit from them..
