Former Clinton adviser Doug Schoen agreed with outgoing Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill's (Mo.) recent criticism of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, arguing the soon-to-be-freshman lawmaker should not be the new face of the party.
**SNIP**
Responding on "The Five," Schoen said that he'd prefer if the 29-year-old Bronx native would "just go away" because of her far-left positions, emphasizing Democrats need to win over moderate voters to defeat President Trump in 2020.
"I hope Nancy Pelosi gets to her and says she'd do better for herself to be silent for a while, because she is not the face or the voice of the Democratic Party that I grew up with, know and continue to support," he said.

Something tells me that nobody can tell Cortez to be quiet any more than somebody can tell Sasse or Corker or Flake to be quiet.
I WANT this airhead to be the spokesperson for the Dims.
Don’t let them old white people censor you congressthing occasionally cortex. Fight the power! Speak out for marxism!
Well, Doug, as the last sane Democrat you are about to be put out to pasture by your new frothing radical base, just like Chuck and Nancy will be.
Duct tape is likely required.
This is really good advice, but Cortez is so full of arrogantly ignorant hubris, I don’t think they could shut her up short of using a fairly large caliber round.
Need to pretend they aren’t that barking moonbat crazy for Socialism to win in 2020.
He’s mansplainin’ and talking over her sayin’ sit down and shut up.
Pelosi and NOW and Alyssa Milano and Beyonce and Oprah are okay with that???
It’s more than Cortez. The whole base of that party agrees with her. I believe she is actually speaking for most Democrat voters at this point.
Schoen is from my grandfather’s Democrat Party of the 1950’s. I hate to break it to him but that does not exist anymore.
She is one on 235 Democrats tied with around 50 democrat freshman in seniority at #185 or so.
Silent? Nobody suggested Mad Maxine should be “silent”. That would have been racist. But Mad Max was/is twice as stupid as Occasional Kotex.
Schoen just said more about this communist than the entire House leadership.
Why I can see this chick overdosing on sleeping pills in her office, in a few years, if not sooner?
No, she needs new Forums to speak to the nation. She’s the future of the Democratic Party after all.
Let her loose lips sink Democrat Ships
True. And pelousy and HilLIARy need to be quiet too.
A distinction she carries with great pride.
An out-in-the-open commie is better... we have a chance to defend against her. It’s the democrats who pretend they aren’t commies who are the problem.
