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.

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.
It’s all starting to come out.
Butt, butt, butt....... I thought it was TOP SECRET and stuff.
ANY relationship with SorozNazi would be a “Dirty Relationship,” imho.
when, oh when, will the American people wake up to all the damage being done to this country?
not really from The Bronx. She’s a rich girl form tony Yorktown Heights in upper Westchester County. Having grown up mostly in Westchester, I can tell you that upcounty is where the REAL money is.
You don’t need a conspiracy, she’s named Ocasio Cortez instead of Joe Crowley in a vastly majority Latin congressional district when he lost the primary.
He ran a very poor campaign against her.
The Republican couldn’t get 14% of the vote in the general election.
It looks to me like they will not wake up until there are not enough of them to matter.
Question though. Wake up and do what? Vote? I’m thinking that will not be enough my FRiend.
Her sugar daddy should pay her rent.
Non-monetary donations, called “in-kind “ donations, must be reported to the FEC, although they are universally ignored when the media is the contributor. I suppose being a Democrat is also a likely unwritten exemption.
it doesn’t matter- she could be a puppy stomper and NY would still reelect her- simply because she is ‘not republican’
It doesn’t matter how much crap is found on her- the fact that she isn’t a republican is plenty good for low info moral-less liberals
Soros has a purpose. That purpose is to destroy the United Sates from within. And for what ever reason- Even President Trump is scared to death of Soros.
People who voted for her don’t care. Voting for her is a vote for disruption of the American system.
So what? She is a:
Democrat Socialist
Female
Hispanic
Nothing here to fret over.
But she IS stupid.
Our public scrools have guaranteed that any awakening will never happen until the current generation that has birthyears from approx mid 1970’s forward through the first half of the 21st century is disallowed from voting without citizenship tests to vote, AND TEACH ANYWHERE, just like driving tests for drivers licenses, and classes for handgun licenses.
“Cenk Uygur”...”Saikat Chakrabarti”
People with names like these are part of the problem.
Probably ain’t even Americans to start with.
The new “JournalList” of Socialist Soros propaganda media organizations.
He’s a weak geezer whose daughter takes care of him. He’s pretty much passed on his deconstructionist baton.
the schools need to teach civics and home ec and auto shop and other shops and firearms safety and driving a car.....
all dropped classes in so many public screwalls nowadays
tragic! the kids not only can’t read, think, write, or do maths, but they can’t even fix or drive a car properly, shoot a gun, or cook an egg.
the public screwalls are turning out a whole lot of totally incompetent people
Under capitalism, man oppresses man. Under socialism, it’s the other way around. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Saw the above as a meme on Facebook, don’t know if she actually said this, but it sure is funny.
