In a 60 Minutes interview that touched on a number of subjects, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, said Democrats have 'compromised too much.'
ANDERSON COOPER: You're willing to compromise?
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
It's just about what we choose to compromise.

ANDERSON COOPER: The Democratic Party has lost too much —
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: I think so. I think — I think we've compromised things that we shouldn't have compromised, whether it's judgeships with Mitch McConnell, whether it's compromising on climate change. I think we've — there are some things that we've compromised a little bit too much on. But am I open to compromise on certain ways to get things done? Absolutely. Absolutely.
