From what I’ve seen, I’m confident that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is going to rise to the considerable challenge and serve in the House with distinction,” Sorkin said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. It's worth noting that Ocasio-Cortez had hit back at Sorkin on Twitter. Sorkin, creator of “The West Wing,” had talked about politics and the current state of America during an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria. “News Flash: Medicare for All & equal rights aren’t trends,” 29-year-old Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman elected to the House, tweeted attaching the Sorkin video. “If we don’t show up for people, why should you feel entitled to their vote?”The average age of Congress’s new freshman class is 49, making it the youngest class in the past three cycles.
