U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) might be known for her progressive political stances on Medicare for All, tuition-free public college, and funding the Green New Deal for the benefit of climate change, but she also has plans to tackle other important issues that voters have.
Take for instance, the quality (or lack thereof) of the French fries served at a popular fast-food chain. During an interview with the podcast Pod Save America, which is based in Los Angeles, host Jon Lovett asked AOC a question that Californians probably want to know the answer to but never got around to asking: “Is there anything you can do at a federal level to take on the quality of the fries [at In-N-Out Burger]?”
After the laughter subsided in the podcast studio, AOC thanked Lovett for bringing up the topic and wondered why every time she travels to California, everyone always tells her she must stop at In-N-Out Burger for a meal. Turns out AOC is not a fan.
“My controversial, nonpolitical opinion is that it’s overrated,” she said, which was an answer Lovett agreed with. “But it’s because I’m a big fry person. What is this dry fry thing going on here?”
We’re not sure how many supporters AOC is going to lose because of her divisive comments, but we’re glad someone in Congress has the guts to say what everyone is thinking. Access to tasty fries is a bipartisan issue that can probably unite this country after the midterms are over.
