A new ‘conservative squad’ has been established to take on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic New York Rep. and her “squad”.

The four conservative women spoke during an interview on Thursday with “Fox & Friends”.

The conservative squad includes Alabama congressional candidate Jessica Taylor, Minnesota congressional candidate Michelle Fischbach, South Carolina congressional candidate Nancy Mace and Texas congressional candidate Beth Van Duyne.

All four of them are running for congressional seats in 2020 and openly criticized the Democratic socialists during the interview.

Taylor explained, “We are losing the younger generation of this country,”. Back in October, during her first congressional advertisement, she promised that she would form this new squad to represent Republicans.

“This is about bringing the conservative message to the people of the United States,” Fischbach said Thursday. “So the people understand that we’re looking at do-nothing Democrats. They are obsessing about impeachment and not really doing anything for the people of the United States anymore.”

Mace added that Democrats “have taken a sharp left turn under the influence of the socialist squad.” After mentioning her background working her way up from a waitress at Waffle House to a congressional candidate, Mace noted that for her, the fight is about combatting socialism for her family and the country.

“And you look at us, this is socialism versus the American values of freedom and job creation,” Mace said. “And we all understand up here today that people flourish under freedom. … Enough is enough. My kids and country are worth fighting for. And that’s what this is about, essentially.”

Van Duyne echoed Mace’s commentary, saying that America has “a Congress that’s run by extremists.” She noted that people are “sick” of the inaction.

“They [Democrats] are not doing anything,” Van Duyne said. “And I think people are sick of seeing that. They really want to see people who are going to go to Congress and do what they say they are going to do, which is the meat and potatoes of getting things done for Americans.”
