Seems like she's got pretty good political acumen to me... Using religion against the religious is pretty traditional political rhetoric.
Far-Left Millennial proposes new law against usury, on biblical grounds.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1129213168222375936 …
Usury - aka high interest - happens to be explicitly denounced in the Bible (& in many other religions).
Looking forward to having the religious right uphold their principles + sign onto my bill. 
Unless of course they’re only invoking religion to punish women + queer people. https://twitter.com/voxdotcom/status/1129170921246351360 …

Not on biblical grounds, but she is pointing out that the law agrees with the Bible as well.

Edward I passed a usury law linked it to the bible and blasphemy. Then hung 300 jews and stole their property. And later expelled all Jews from england. (Yes its a wiki quote but I knew of this from a book I read on the plantagenet kings.) Food for thought.

This isn’t something I’m going to criticize AOC on. Why do credit card companies have a right to grossly exploit the majority of people’s natural human weaknesses in regards to debt? Limiting their exploitation is good for the American people.

Now that I think about it, tv makes us sedentary. That should definitely go. Video games too. Mobile phones, all of us are addicted and we lived without them once. High heel shoes, using a person's vanity to exploit and harm them. Why are those things still legal?

The bible does not denounce usury - it prohibits interest. But that's just a trifling detail ...
