America loves an underdog and a good story. The rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had all the markings of just such a story. The 28-year-old unknown millennial Latina from the Bronx pulled off a stunning upset in a New York City Democratic congressional primary, knocking off a prominent party veteran in her first bid for public office.
Ocasio-Cortez won 57.5% of the vote against Rep. Joe Crowley, a 10-term Democrat in the 14th Congressional District in New York widely seen by many as a possible successor to Rep. Nancy Pelosi for House Minority Leader was the fourth-ranked Democrat in the House.
However, as with all stories, there is much more than meets the eye. It seems while Ocasio-Cortez may have been unknown to much of America, she was not exactly unknown to those with deep pockets. It turns out Ocasio-Cortez is backed by some deep and powerful pockets including from the George Soros’ Media Consortium. Ocasio-Cortez previously worked as an organizer for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign.

“New details have emerged revealing that George Soros helped prop-up Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s political career in an attempt to put 400 Bernie Sanders-like politicians in Congress.
A former organizer for Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign, Ocasio-Cortez’s under-dog win in the Democratic primary was undoubtedly helped by online actors.
The New York Times writes that she was able to defeat her opponent, who greatly outspent her, due to her online presence. In an interview with progressive digital media outlet “The Young Turks,” a member of a Soros-funded network of far-left publications called The Media Consortium, Ocasio-Cortez also admits that their coverage helped her win.
Members linked to Soros-funded digital media asked Ocasio-Cortez, a former organizer for Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign, to run for office — guaranteeing favorable coverage by a media network that reaches almost 300 million people monthly.
One member of the Soros-funded media, Cenk Uygur, also founded one of the two political groups responsible for asking Ocasio-Cortez to run, Justice Democrats — whose goal is to get Sanders-like politicians elected to Congress.
Uygur, a former Armenian genocide denier, was eventually forced out of the organization after old articles revealed some of his previous sexist comments, often referring to women in a derogatory way.
Incumbent Joseph Crowley — whose footprint in the Democratic establishment led to speculation that he would succeed Nancy Pelosi as Democratic leader of the House — greatly outspent Ocasio-Cortez.
However, her strong online presence — thanks to the coverage of the Soros-linked digital media — she was able to gain traction and defeat Crowley in the primary June 26. She is expected to win New York’s 14th congressional district handedly, given the district’s Democratic history.
After Ocasio-Cortez’s website, Ocasio2018.com, was first registered May 3, 2017, it redirected to Ocasio-Cortez’s now-deleted page on BrandNewCongress.Org, according to an Internet archive captured June 29, 2017.
Brand New Congress is another organization, just like Justice Democrats, that aims to get socialists elected to Congress in the 2018 mid-terms. It has close ties to Justice Democrats.

They obviously take the far far left approach on every issue.

Interestingly enough, the co-founder of Brand New Congress, Saikat Chakrabarti, did a recent interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. Chakrabarti also just happens to be the Executive Director of an affiliated organization known as “Justice Democrats.” The Justice Democrats PAC and the Brand New Congress organization are essentially inseparable. The PAC known as Justice Democrats was co-founded by Cenk Uygur, the far lefty that used to be on MSNBC and eventually started a Youtube blog called The Young Turks.
Watch Rachel Maddow explain and discuss with the co-founder of Brand New Congress, Saikat Chakrabarti.
I know, I know, Rachel Maddow. But if you want to learn about the left, you have to actually watch and listen to them.https://t.co/JWBnMZS7ee

The Daily Caller adds –
“In a June 27 interview with Uygur on his YouTube channel “The Young Turks,” Ocasio-Cortez thanked Uygur and other media platforms for covering her before the primaries, which she says “in no small part” helped her win.
“I wouldn’t be running if it wasn’t for the support of Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress,” Ocasio-Cortez told Uygur. “In fact it was, it was JD (Justice Democrats) and it was Brand New Congress that asked me to run in the first place.”
The Young Turks is a member of The Media Consortium — a network of far left media publications which includes Mother Jones, Democracy Now!, and dozens of other outlets, funded by Soros.
The Media Consortium is a Soros a media empire that, according to Media Research Center (MRC), reaches nearly 300 million people a month.
“Soros funds nearly every major left-wing media source in the United States,” MRC stated. “Forty-five of those are financed through his support of the Media Consortium. That organization ‘is a network of the country’s leading, progressive, independent media outlets.’ The list is predictable – everything from Alternet to the Young Turks.”
The MRC report goes on to detail the progressive echo chamber Soros intentionally created with the Media Consortium with the intention of shaping public opinion.”

It seems that person behind the curtain that put Alexandria Osasio-Cortez into that national spotlight is Cenk Uygur with the deep pockets and backing of none other than George Soros.
.
LOL! Outstanding! Man, that was quick.
Antifa-Cortez is going to be a two-year hot mess
bttt
I just hope she can hold onto her political job because she’s too stupid to make a living at something productive like working the drive up window.
I found it at the excellent satire web site The Peoples Cube. The founder of which escaped from a communist hell hole in his youth.

Strongly disagree. Trump fears NO man, and would be delighted at the opportunity to go against Soros one on one!
He’s a weak geezer....
I was hoping for GITMO
Kewl, thanks for the link.
She could have some modest success in Stormy Daniels’ line of work.
Maybe physically at this point, but anyone with that much money, driven by that much grandiosity, and with no ethical constraints, is very dangerous.
