Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is hitting back at the slew of Democratic billionaires calling for a potential Kamala Harris Administration to fire the sitting chair of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)./i>

“Let me make this clear, since billionaires have been trying to play footsie with the ticket,” the New York Democrat wrote in a post on X on Wednesday. “Anyone goes near [FTC Chair] Lina Khan and there will be an out and out brawl. And that is a promise.”

Her comments came after billionaire investor Mark Cuban criticized Khan during an event on Tuesday, telling Semafor that “If it were me, I wouldn’t” keep her on as a commissioner next year. Cuban, who founded CostPlusDrugs in 2022, said he supported Khan’s efforts to regulate the pharmaceutical industry but thinks “she’s hurting more than she’s helping” by going after artificial intelligence firms.

“This is about AI. It’s a zero sum race for global dominance,” Cuban added later on Tuesday on social media. “If we lose, the consequences are far more than economic.”

Fools like Cuban think they can control the behavior of regressives like Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, and their allies. They can't. That group of people is motivated by envy alone and cannot stand others succeeding while they are only able to steal the achievements of others by manipulating the law. Too late Cuban, et.al., will discover their error. Too late

I’ve always suspected Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was a Trump girl. She appeared out of nowhere in a low-turnout election in a safe Dem district to unseat Joe Crowley - Nancy Pelosi’s heir apparent as Speaker. Almost everything AOC says and does sounds and looks terrible, but with a strange aftertaste that usually achieves the opposite effect. Sometimes things are “too stupid to be stupid,” leaving one to suspect that they are deliberate. If I could install my own political opponents, AOC would be one of them.
