Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez skipped out on Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign kickoff in Brooklyn — but wasn’t invited in the first place, the socialist Democratic darling admitted in a new interview.
Asked whether the fellow lefty extended an offer to have her at his rally on Saturday, Ocasio-Cortez said, “He didn’t actually.”
“We’ve been in active conversation,” she continued in the interview on Sunday with NY1’s “Inside City Hall” host Errol Louis. “I’ve been speaking with him and several other 2020 candidates.”

Bernie almost fell going up those stairs
They did not want to run out of carrots
Leaving out the left’s latest political polymath, Occasional-Cortex?
He must be racist.
Burney is age 77...I think SlowJoe Biden is in a lot better shape.
bernie’s a kommie, but he’s no dummy ...
Could it be, as a practical matter, Bernie doesn’t want to be tied to her, doesn’t want to be seen with her, because in spite of the liberal love for this woman, she is perceived as an idiot by much of America????
Bernie loves Soviet history and views himself as the reincarnation of Trotsky. He knows that the Russian Bolsheviks had many internal battles and purges until Stalin evolved and established a brutal order. Doubt many if any of the current socialist crop including Bernie will be present if these vile lowlifes were to succeed in destroying the American Republic and seized power.
She wouldn’t go anyway!
He’s just an old white guy to her and needs to hurry up and die so the dynamic young female moonbats of color can really take it up to the next level of failure.
Bernie like to yak, yak and yak. So does the little big mouth co nincompoop AOC. I am sure he did not want her stealing his thunder.
Old White Guy, who dat?
BOL......
These two commies are going to fight for the democrat presidential ticket..watch and see.The moron girl thinks she has a chance and would knock off Bernie to get her way..
It’s likely Burney will be dead (or as incapacitated as Hillary currently is) by the time @AOC is old enough to run for POTUS.
Saikat Chakrabarti, is a proven tech expert.
(A) He co-founded a web design tool,
(B) He built up the product team at the payment processor "Stripe".........
(C) He then came to the Sanders campaign after (cough) growing disillusioned with the tech world.
Saikat Chakrabarti was....wait for it....... Bernie's Director of Organizing Technology.
Even old man Bernie knew enough to hire a tech expert.
So, I guess (smirk) Chakrabarti's tech skills musta come in mighty handy when donations to Bernie were wire-transferred to the DNC
and ended up in Hillary's account. Debbie W/S headed the DNC at the time and was ousted b/c of her bias for Hillary.
Course, none of us heard about any of this, but.....
<><> Chakrabarti the tech whiz did find out about the DNC theft, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did speak to D/W/S about it, or to Debbie's tech expert, Imran Awan, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did tell Bernie he was fleeced, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti WAS working for Bernie, wasnt he?
The FEC complaint asserts that AOC's COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC's campaign:
<><> the Brand New Congress PAC, and,
<><> Justice Democrats PAC.
Then Chakrabarti systematically transferred $885,000+ in PAC contributions to his private companies with similar names:
<><> the Brand New Campaign LLC, and,
<><> the Brand New Congress LLC.
Saikat Chakrabarti's private companies, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.
Keep in mind it is a common criminal act to open bank accounts using similarly named entities as Chakrabarti did.
It's easy to siphon off money for oneself by depositing checks in the new accounts with similar names that were made out to the original entity.
Even your bank will advise you that if the check-writer "mis-spelled" your name.....to just endorse the check with the correct name.
==========================================
ANALYSIS --- Chakrabarti's companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how the political donations were used. The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions from federal PACs to candidates, according to the complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.
Campaign finance attorneys described the arrangement as “really weird” and an indication "there’s something amiss." They said there was no way of telling where the political donations went — meaning they could have been pocketed or used by the company to pay for off-the-books campaign operations.---SNIP---SOURCED FROM FR.
===================================
JUST WONDERING .....does Chakrabarti have a reputation among Democraps for facilitating the conversion of campaign donations?
Maybe we should ask Bernie (/s).
Oh no!
All the cool kids were there.
There are some things that even Bernie won’t do for “party unity”. AO-C is a loose cannon, and while some things about her may be every bit as expected, sometimes her shots are a little wild.
A pretty weapon is a deadly woman.
From a PR perspective, this is the smart move. Bernie doesn’t want to be upstaged on his announcement day. With all the media fascination with AOC, her presence there would have become the story.
