House Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez provoked rage on social media on Monday for demanding answers on 'excessive bail' that is imposed by prosecutors in New York City on Monday.

Meanwhile, fellow 'squad' member House Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the Democrat from Michigan, had trouble explaining her support for a law that would empty federal prisons within a period of 10 years.

The comments prompted harsh criticism on Twitter, where people accused the progressive lawmakers of being tone deaf to air their views while the community of Waukesha grieves the loss of life from Sunday's tragedy.
