Ocasio-Cortez THREATENS Fellow Democrats; Backfires Immediately
Socialist superstar and “future of the Democrat party” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just threatened fellow Democrats who don’t fall in line with her radical leftist agenda.
In the process she made herself even more of a joke than she already was, per Politico:
The incoming star congresswoman from New York again put the Democratic establishment on notice that she and activist groups on the left aren’t content with a Democratic-controlled House: They are determined to move the party to the left.
“Long story short, I need you to run for office,” Ocasio-Cortez said Saturday on a video conference call hosted by Justice Democrats, as the group launched a campaign dubbed “#OurTime.” Justice Democrats supported Ocasio-Cortez’s primary campaign against powerful Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.).
“All Americans know money in politics is a huge problem, but unfortunately the way that we fix it is by demanding that our incumbents give it up or by running fierce campaigns ourselves,” Ocasio-Cortez added. “That’s really what we need to do to save this country. That’s just what it is.”
The incoming congresswoman’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, a co-founder of Justice Democrats, was blunter.
“We need new leaders, period,” he said on the call. “We gotta primary folks.”
Now THAT is hilarious!
Ocasio-Cotez is getting a bit too big for her britches and this is certain to alienate many congressional Democrats.
The freshman Congresswoman should perhaps take a step back, learn how government works and read a few books on economics, before she ventures out to lead a new movement.
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "If we work our butts off to make sure that we take back all three chambers of Congress — Uh, rather, all three chambers of government: the presidency, the Senate, and the House."
