Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shuns Hollywood elites in West Coast tour
Fox News ^ | August 4, 2018 | Adam Shaw

Posted on 08/04/2018 4:27:09 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

New York congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, currently one of the leading lights of the Democrats’ left-wing, is on a tour of the West Coast -- but is notably avoiding meeting up with the region’s Hollywood elites.

Ocasio-Cortez, who represents the party’s democratic socialist wing, has visited homeless areas on Los Angeles’ Skid Row neighborhood, and has met with liberal activists.

But as she has held low-dollar fundraisers, she has not engaged in glitzy events with high-profile Democratic donors and Hollywood celebrities.

The move has already raised eyebrows, with The Hollywood Reporter asking: “Is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Too Far Left for Hollywood?”

The outlet reported that it reached out to a number of “political operatives” and “members of the industry’s donor class,” who all said they were not aware of any meetings with her -- while others weren’t aware she was in L.A. She also reportedly didn’t reach out to L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti.

I think it is ironic that the National Democratic Socialists Part calls conservatives NAZIs

For the ‘Conspiracy Theorists’...(there would be no Conspiracy Theorists if there were no Conspiracies)

As dumb as this woman is, you don’t suppose she is an R plant do you?

Granted the average RINO/GOPe wouldn’t be able to dream something like this up but PDT would & (maybe) could???

Of course, she and Bernie would make a good ticket with a high spot for DeBlasio??? and the Cuomos.. maybe throw Huma Wiener and hubby in there.

HRC could be the campaign manager...

The Three Stooges, Abbot & Costello etal couldn’t top this.

Why does everyone call her Cortez? Don’t you use the first of the Spanish double names, not the second?

I thought it was reported he specifically said he was not going to run 3rd party, that he had been in politics too long and wanted a new career, after she accused him of running against her on a third party ticket? This was about three weeks ago. So now he is running? That’s great news if he is.

Pretty good summary of what is going on. ditto here.

The DNC leadership does not like her. She is unmasking them or at least forcing the question of how many Dems are socialist.

I am hoping this fissure leads to a third party.

Well, neither the Hildabeast nor the Washrag could tell you the difference between a socialist and a RAT.

This is a case of the LEFTIST indoctrination centers being too successful. she thinks everyone is a socialist. Everyone she knows is a socialist.

the DEM leadership is crapping their pants. they know you dont talk like that until after they hollow out the 2A.

I say Go Sarah! Hee Haw!

there is no difference except the spelling. But they need to stay masked to win elections. She is outing them.

Alexandria is one of those rare people who look better when they keep their mouths closed and look serious.
The old saying was “She’s beautiful when she’s angry”.
Kamala is a nice looking woman too, but she doesn’t really like to smile in public anyway. When Kamala ‘smiles’ it looks sneaky, or like a grimace. So you won’t see her snorting with yuk-yuk laughter if she has her way.

What is she doing in California? And Kansas last week? She has only won a primary so far, still has the general coming up. Shouldn’t she be, like, campaigning back in her district? Hopefully this national touring will cause her defeat in November.

On another thread it was said she gets funded by a Soros entity so she doesn’t need Hollywood. She is going to ride this into the House unless Pelosi and the Dem. establishment can sand bag her.
