Fox News Guest Clashes With Host Over AOC: ‘Only on Fox’ Is She Considered This Influential

On Fox News tonight, Mark Levine — a Democratic member of the Virginia House of Delegates — clashed with Raymond Arroyo — filling in for Laura Ingraham.— over the influence of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the Democratic party.

Arroyo showed comments Ocasio-Cortez made at a rally for Bernie Sanders, in which she said, “We’re here to say that what we’re living in right now is not an advanced society.”

When someone in the crowd remarked “Why aren’t we calling it fascism? That’s what it is!”, the congresswoman responded, “It is fascism what we’re evolving into as well.”

Arroyo asked Levine, “Does AOC calling America a fascist country help Bernie Sanders with voters in the U.S.?”

“People don’t care what AOC has to say. She doesn’t represent the Democratic Party,” Levine responded. “Nancy Pelosi represents the Democratic party. People are focussed on why the Senate is covering up Donald Trump’s crimes.”

“Wait a minute. Just one second,” Arroyo said. “AOC doesn’t represent the Democratic Party? She is the brain trust of the Democratic Party.”

“Only on Fox News,” Levine responded.

“Nancy Pelosi moved the articles of impeachment because of pressure from AOC,” Arroyo said.

“That’s silly! That’s ridiculous!” Levine said. “The moderate Democrats said the corruption from Donald Trump actively soliciting a foreign power to rig our elections in his favor were too much for even them to ignore.”

“AOC has tens of millions of followers on Twitter and I guarantee you most are not Fox News hosts or Fox News watchers,” Allie Beth Stuckey said at one point. “They are Democratic socialists who see AOC as the future of the party… Nancy Pelosi would like to think she’s the head of the party and maybe in some ways she is, but unfortunately the Democratic Party gave a lot of airtime and a lot of space to the Squad.”

"Nancy Pelosi represents the Democratic party."

Notice that Virginia Delegate Mark Levine didn’t say that Nancy Pelosi represents the people.

Also, FWIW, I accept possibility that FN has mischaracterized AOC.

I noticed early on when sparring with leftists on a site I visit, that they were distancing themselves from her.

They may be highly biased, but they are not stupid.

I saw that exchange. Where did this guy come from? He couldn’t stop talking (typical if you’re telling the truth to them).

Any federal public official who proposes violating the constitution needs to be removed from office and jailed. They vowed to defend the constitution and they are lying scumbags

I agree.

Conservatives hate her, but then raise her media-attention-level having to rant like crazy over all she does. To whatever level of media and public attention AOC has, she owes quite a bit of it to Conservative demands to never avoid commenting on every breath she takes.

As May West said in a famous movie line, there is no bad publicity; the only bad publicity is no publicity (or words like that).

Conservatives should do us all a favor - don’t give AOC the time of day.

She demanded that Trump be impeached. Then they impeached him.

Arroyo is an old, old friend of Ingraham’s. She’s been including him in what she does with her career ever since she had a radio show well over a decade ago. I don’t see what he brings to the table that she seems to think will
add to her appeal. Seems like he’s just always been riding her coattails.

AOC will be eligible to run for president in 2024, and I’m betting she’ll be the odds on favorite to win, unless the Rs can find another Trump.

Mark Steyn just said that since people can now identify as any sex and color they want to, why not AGE?? AOC could say she feels like 45!
