Ocasio-Cortez responds to McCaskill: 'Pretty disappointing'
THE HILL ^ | 29 DECEMBER 2018 | JOHN BOWDEN

Posted on 12/29/2018 6:16:57 PM PST by Extremely Extreme Extremist

Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) fired back at former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) on Saturday after the outgoing senator criticized the freshman New York lawmaker for her embrace of the Democratic Party's left wing.

In a series of tweets, Ocasio-Cortez called McCaskill's rhetoric "pretty disappointing" and pointed out that progressive initiatives including a minimum wage increase won on the ballot in Missouri in November while McCaskill, a more conservative Democrat, lost.

"Not sure why fmr Sen. McCaskill keeps going on TV to call me a “thing” and “shiny object,” but it’s pretty disappointing," Ocasio-Cortez wrote Saturday.

I hope the Demonrats eat each other.

The S*** from Eeew Yuck is so incredibly repulsive. I hope her back is the first against the sandbags when the Demonrat establishment Clintonizes her.

One can only hope the donkeycrat party continues to recruit its candidates from the ranks of unemployed bartenders.

Something to consider; what if Cortes wins this war over the Pelosi faction? Cortez gets the caucus and gets to set the Democrat agenda for the next two years.

This might be something we should embrace.

Here's why McCaskill is pissed though. AOC didn't follow the Dem playbook of running as a moderate to fool the voters. She ran as a socialist, and still won.

That's why Claire and Schoen want her to shut-up. They're not ready to have their socialist agenda rolled out yet.

I may be crazy, but I think Pres. Trump should be nice to AOC and invite her to the White House for a high-visibility meeting.

First, it’s already baked into the cake that Trump will meet with adversaries, so he loses nothing. It would help to fracture the dems, but more importantly it would advance the narrative that the battle is not only between Right and Left, but between the Deep State and the rest of us.

“what if Cortes wins this war over the Pelosi faction?”

I won’t make a prediction but it would not surprise me if Cortes does win. The old white establishment of the Demonrat party will do whatever it takes to prevent that. What I think the Demonrats strategy might be is to convince her to run for a higher office that she has no chance of winning, maybe against Schummer, then when she loses that primary they are rid of her and have the ability to claim they really aren’t ignorant, race baiting racist who swim in their antisemitism. Otherwise they’ll have an operative claiming to be a Trump supporter gun her down.

Give her a 10 pound sledge to drive that wedge into the heart of the Democrat party.

Hopefully she will not be stifled.

Not hard to figure out AOC.

Look in the mirror.

Then she stopped suddenly and said, "Look, a squirrel!"

Then after another pause she said, "what were we talking about again?"

I think that is what will happen. I also would not underestimate Alexandria's ability to rally the leftists.

I really enjoyed voting against Claire, but she's been right on the money in her criticism of her party.

Hope the nutjobs keep ignoring her.
