Rep. Ilhan Omar called it 'disturbing' that her fellow lawmakers, including her 31-year-old 'squad'-mate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, were able to get vaccinated against the coronavirus before frontline workers and the elderly. 'It's now clear that we don't have enough vaccines for everybody and there is a shortage of supply, we have to prioritize those who need it most,' Omar tweeted Sunday. 'That's why it's disturbing to see members be first to get vaccine while most frontline workers, elderly and infirm in our districts, wait.' President Donald Trump later tweeted that he believed White House staff shouldn't get the vaccine before other, more vulnerable segments of the U.S. population. Those in leadership weren't the only members of Congress able to get the vaccine - it was made available to everyone.
