Ocasio-Cortez invites activist who confronted Jeff Flake to State of the Union

Archila, the co-executive director at the Center for Popular Democracy, is the activist who confronted Jeff Flake, who was then serving as a GOP senator, in an elevator on Capitol Hill in a viral moment over the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

The Center for Popular Democracy announced the news on Monday with a video featuring Ocasio-Cortez, and Archila and the congresswoman’s office confirmed the invitation to CNN. It was first reported by The Intercept.

In the video, Ocasio-Cortez tells Archila that she bought them matching pins with the message “well-behaved women rarely make history.” The congresswoman tells Archila “we can wear them on Tuesday,” the day of the President’s address to Congress.
