Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will travel to Kansas together next week to campaign for a pair of candidates in the state, according to The Washington Post.
The pair will start off in Wichita, Kansas on July 20 to campaign for James Thompson in the state’s 4th district. From there they’ll head to outside Kansas City to support former Sanders delegate Brent Welder, who is running for the Democratic nomination in the 3rd congressional district.
Sanders told The Post that he and Ocasio-Cortez, a self-identified democratic socialist, organized the trip after realizing they both wanted to go to Kansas.
“All over this country, you have people who understand that we need to [change] the minimum wage to a living wage; that health care is a right; that we need to rebuild our infrastructure,” the progressive senator told the newspaper.
“Those are popular issues in the Bronx. These are popular issues in Vermont. In Kansas, they’ve gone through the [former governor Sam] Brownback agenda, and they do not believe you should give tax breaks to the rich and cut Social Security.”
Ocasio-Cortez’s stunning defeat of incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley (D) in the Democratic primary for New York’s 14th Congressional District sent shockwaves through the party.
Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday accused Crowley of refusing to concede the Democratic primary race and mounting a third-party bid against her.
Crowley denied the claims, saying that he is backing Ocasio-Cortez in the race.
anyone those two campaign for almost certainly MUST be defeated!
Talk about commies and socialists interfering with elections. How about these two?
LORD ... Let us pray that they all keep their yaps open wide and don’t stop oozing their brains out ... In your name, Jesus. Amen and Amen.
Really.....why? I thought she was running in NYC.
[p[It’s a little early in the growing season to extend the traditional babushka greeting of flinging rotting turnips to these two.]]
Cow dung is plentiful though
[The traitorous media will ALWAYS decouple the political and economic theory of socialism from the economic ruin, human suffering and death that it unfailingly wreaks on the very people that it outwardly purports to benefit.]
Immediately following her canonization by the liberal media, the Bronx Bolshevik is hitting the campaign trail with Bolshevik Bernie to stump for two congressional candidates in Kansas. It’s their belief (I kid you not) that the key to winning over “Red States” is to move even further left of the Democrat Socialist Party by proposing even more radical socialist totalitarian control.
And not surprisingly, there’s not a single member of the corrupt liberal media who will report a word about Venezuela’s 40,000% inflation rate, lack of food and potable water, rampant police killings of civilians, or publish the image of the starving Venezuelan child, which has gone viral on the internet. It’s up to us smelly, hillbilly deplorables to put an end to this anti-American madness -— once and for all.
They’re fine tuning their message - neither of these two know crap about working Americans. Communists do their best recruiting on college campuses among the children of ‘elties’... they do worst among people with actual jobs.

Communists stick together.
Didn’t she get something like 16,000 votes?
And the folks in Kansas are simpatico to Brooklyn /s
The Democrats think she's the next Obama.
The rest of America is ready for the next Obama. And I don't mean that in a way that will give comfort to the Democrats.
Those two would fit right in with the moonbats in the People’s Republic of Lawrence-istan.
“The newest lefty thing is that flyover country can’t wait to sign up with the socialists so long as socialism is rebranded.”
I live in rural Illinois. Lots of we country people are still antenna only TV. PBS is very popular and is, of course, full of leftist propoganda.
They would only be welcomed in Lawrence.
