Cenk: AOC's distinction between progressives and MAGAts

Continuing the theme, AOC debunks the false equivalence between progressives (aka MAGretAs) and the MAGAts aptly highlighted in the Speaker debacle. Unfortunately even the corporate Dems (MAGreedAs) fall into it, calling progressives the other extreme. Cenk makes clear that progressives are in fact what the majority of Americans want. But that's exactly what the extreme corporate interests of both Parties fight against, which is why they frame it like they do. 

PS: After the end of this clip Cenk goes on to note that progressives should learn from the MAGAts in terms of exercising their power. Progressives could have forced the vote on several issues when they had the leverage but always caved to leadership. And again, fighting for an increased minimum wage is far different than fighting for armed attacks on school children.
