He also voted for the Laken Riley Act which removes due process from immigrants simply charged with a crime and that wasn't a good decision in hindsight with a lot of Bush era agencies acting like Trump's gestapo abducting people based on nothing more than suspicion.

He also had crypto lobbyists funding his campaign. That personally doesn't benefit with me as I have 0 interest in purchasing crypto. I trust AOC when she describes it as money laundering for wealthy people, scam for poor people.
