Watch: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez grills bankers over lack of jail time for the role they played in the 2008 financial crisis
New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hit out at the CEOs of some of America's largest global banks questioning why, when her young constituents are jailed for jumping the subway, more individuals had not received custodial sentences for the role they played in the 2008 financial crisis.
Ocasio-Cortez, who has quickly made a name for herself in her first months in Congress fighting vested interests and advancing a progressive Democratic agenda, opened her questioning by quoting a list of fines imposed upon the banking sector in recent years.
