  <description>&lt;p&gt;On 60 Minutes, Dem Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told Anderson Cooper that more important than getting the facts right on policy, is that the policy is "morally correct."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz explains how Cortez has opened herself up to an entirely new line of questioning. "Rep. Cortez has done a great job of avoiding criticism and making those who attack her look bad." says Tony. "But now, she's let all that go.  She doesn't care about facts, which is exactly the argument progressives make about President Trump. And she has asked people to question whether, morally, her Socialist policies have value; people get to question her morality. I don't think she realizes what she's done here." &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tony Katz takes a look at the latest poorly-thought-out policy position from New York Gubernatiorial candidate Cynthia Nixon, who believes that New Yorkers would be better off with single-payer healthcare.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She told the New York Daily News editorial board that New York should pass the legislation first. Then, later, they can figure out how to fund it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wait. Wut?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tony is quickly reminded of Rep. Nancy Pelosi's famous insanity, that we had to pass Obamacare, "to find out what is in it." &lt;/p&gt;
