U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., weighed in on President Trump's supporters Thursday, saying a "core part" of the president's base is composed of "racists" and "people who could be susceptible to racist views."
She also said many discussions on racism devolve into defenseness because "we do not talk about or educate people on recognizing racism."
The far-left freshman congresswoman made the remarks during an appearance on the podcast "Pod Save America," hosted by former Obama administration staffer Jon Favreau.
At one point, Favreau asserted that "there's racism there" when crowds gather for Trump rallies. But Ocasio-Cortez said it's more important to discuss the broader term "racism" than whether an individual or group is "racist."

The racist thing is over and no one told AOC ,LOL
Beating a dead horse.
Her and The Squat are the only racists in this game.
Give it up AOC....You’re nothing but a big mouth looking for attention.
She is in the wing of the anti-white supremacist wing of the Democrat Party.
We’ve reached the point where people who charge racism Should be completely rejected unless they can prove that someone specific is engaging in illegal activity. Otherwise, it’s none of their damn business.
Racism, whatever these people think it means, is not illegal. Of course they are racists constantly accusing the evil “white people”.
Disagreeing with them is not racist, and I have the God given right as a free American to dislike or disagree with her for any reason, including if I don’t like the shape of her a$$! That’s my business and I don’t need a bratty Congresswoman delving into my thoughts.
She’s got enough problems going on in her head that she needn’t worry about mine. If she has a policy to propose in Congress she can state it, argue it and vote on it. Otherwise she should shut her mouth and stop defaming others she doesn’t know and doesn’t understand.
Yes she has the right to call me a racist and I have the right to tell her to go to hell.
Well, Ally, if all you have is the race card, you are many cards short of a full deck.
Every time taco-girl opens her mouth she reminds me that an IQ of 40 is possible.
Great post! Well done!
AOC not smart enough to understand that her party invented racist.
She’s nothing but a useful tool for democrats/liberals/progressives/communists.
Seriously, will you freakin’ dhimmicrats, ever STFU? My tolerance level is dropping to negative zero...assuming that is what you want, it is working. It might have been cute the first, 1,898,716,434,962 times the same old tired trope was uttered before you were even f*&%^^ born, but jesus, give it rest right the f&^U&* now. you want anger? well you are quickly beginning to get your wish
“Refugees” like this slug can go on insulting Americans all day long and her bigoted, racist @$$ gets a pass every time. I don’t care if she born here, send her @$$ back to the island paradise of her ancestors where she won’t be so pissed off all of the time.
AOC has found her calling in life. She’s an expert racist
It’s a subtle way of saying, “I won’t think you’re racist for a while if you vote for Democrats”
OK, so everything and everyone is “racist”. Who gives a rat’s a**? This America-hating, antisemite and life-loser is a pathetic joke. I though all President Trump supporters were white nationalists or white supremacists? Which is it, you putrid buffoon???
Bartender, go look in the mirror.
If I had a preference, I’d rather be among racists than rapists.
