Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Called Out the “Broken Mentality” of Democrats’ Establishment Politics
Apparently, not everyone is excited about rising political star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Democratic rep from New York’s 14th has had a target on her back put there by right-wingers for a while now, but a new report from The Hill indicates she may soon see pressure from another side: her own party.
“What I have recommended to the New York delegation is that you find her a primary opponent and make her a one-term congressperson,” an anonymous Democratic lawmaker in the House told The Hill. “You’ve got numerous council people and state legislators who’ve been waiting 20 years for that seat. I’m sure they can find numerous people who want that seat in that district.”
AOC addressed the idea that folks have been waiting two decades for her seat on Twitter, writing, “That broken mentality, that public office is something you wait in line for, instead of earning through hard organizing, is exactly what voters want to change. Shows you how disconnected some folks here are.”
