‘They Think They Can…’: AOC, Pressley Mince No Words In Fiery Attack On MAGA Over Voting Rights

US News: At a fiery voting rights rally in Montgomery, Alabama on Saturday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Ayanna Pressley delivered blistering speeches attacking MAGA politics, voter suppression efforts and what they described as a coordinated assault on Black voting power across America. AOC warned that “with every expansion, there is an attempt at regression,” accusing the Supreme Court and Republican-led efforts of trying to roll back hard-fought civil rights victories. She declared that conservatives “think they can draw us out of power,” but warned they had instead “awakened a sleeping giant.” The New York congresswoman also called on Americans across the country to mobilize, saying: “It is time for the North to pull up to the South,” urging supporters to stand with communities in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi. Rep. Ayanna Pressley delivered an equally powerful speech, calling the current political climate “a precise, intentional and coordinated assault on Black people, Black votes, Black power and Black progress.” She accused Donald Trump and his allies of trying to make Americans “fear our own power.” Pressley also drew parallels between today’s political battles and the civil rights movement of the 1960s, warning: “2026 feels a lot like 1965.” She declared that voting rights remain central to the fight for democracy, adding: “They would rather have us picking cotton than picking presidents.” The rally brought together activists, lawmakers and civil rights advocates demanding stronger protections for voting access and renewed federal action on voting rights legislation. #usnews #demcorats #trump #alexandriaocasiocortez #maga --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos, subscribe to our channel: / hookglobal Visit our website for more news: https://hooknews.com Follow Hook here: Instagram: / hooknewsfeed Snapchat: / kl5vqrtH X: / HookNewsfeed
