If you thought millennials couldn’t love New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez more, just wait until you see this video of her chatting with none other than beloved climate activist and television host, William Sanford Nye. AKA: Bill Nye the Science Guy.
This surprise conversation went down during a panel at South by Southwest (SXSW) on Saturday. Held in Austin, Texas, SXSW is a massive conference and festival hybrid, where people from the tech, music, film, arts, and other industries come together once a year, typically in mid-March, to talk big ideas.
For Ocasio-Cortez, who participated in a panel called, “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the New Left,” people came out in droves. Her panel, moderated by Briahna Gray, Senior Politics Editor at The Intercept, was standing-room only.
At the end of the panel, during the Q&A portion, Nye approached the mic with his question like every other attendee.
Here’s what he said:
“I’m a white guy. I think the problem on both sides is fear. People of my ancestry are afraid to pay for everything as immigrants come into this country. People who work at the diner in Alabama are afraid to ask for what is reasonable.
So do you have a plan to work with people in Congress that are afraid? That’s what’s going on with many conservatives especially when it comes to climate change. People are afraid of what happens when we try to make these big changes.”
