Ocasio-Cortez Says Stevens Has Sided With Republicans Since Congress Returned

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) has "been with the Republicans" since Congress returned, The Hill reported. According to The Hill, the remarks followed Stevens's endorsement of former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) in the midterms.

Ocasio-Cortez made the comments during an appearance, according to The Hill, but the summary available for the report does not name the event or say where it took place. In the remarks as summarized, she said Stevens had been on the Republican side of the aisle ever since returning to Congress. The Hill's summary does not say which votes, statements or other actions Ocasio-Cortez cited in support of that description.

Stevens is a Democrat from Michigan, and Rogers is a Republican and former member of the House from the same state, The Hill reported. The summary does not describe Stevens's stated reasons for backing Rogers, and it does not report any response from Stevens or Rogers to Ocasio-Cortez's remarks.

The Hill's article was written by Suryatapa Chakraborty and is the only source used for this report. Its headline presents the comments as Ocasio-Cortez's assertion, and the available reporting does not independently establish whether Stevens has aligned with Republicans in Congress.
