They were not being forthright about that advocacy and that request until the day before the House adjourned. The House was put into I believe a needlessly difficult situation and it\u2019s not just me saying that, Financial Services Chairwoman Maxine Waters has made that very clear as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez concluded by saying there were other contributing factors. For example, she said that in some states money that had already been designated to help renters and small-scale landlords had been sent to the states but not yet distributed to those it was supposed to help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic New York Rep.
