Bringing her political star power to races for Congress, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday endorsed Democratic Senator Ed Markey for re-election in Massachusetts as he faces a potential primary challenge from Congressman Joe Kennedy III.
Ocasio-Cortez said in a video released by Markey's campaign that she's backing the Democratic incumbent as one of the Senate's "strongest progressives." Markey is her Senate partner on the Green New Deal climate change proposal. He introduced the controversial bill in the Senate.
She said she is "proud to enthusiastically support" Markey's reelection.
"When I first got to Congress and we started to discuss big, bold plans — a solution on the scale of the crisis — many members shied away," the freshman lawmaker said in the video. "Ed Markey was one of the few people that had the courage to stand up and take a chance." The Boston Globe first reported the endorsement.

Scum endorses scum.
Oh dear God! Not another Kennedy!
I take it Joe, being a Kennedy, is a democrat? Is he at least more of a moderate?
“Will Cortez, the socialist bartender, win again in 2020? Stay tuned...”
Depends on how stupid the voters are in her district. We already know they are a majority of turd heads to have elected her in the first place.
She’s dissing a Kennedy? More popcorn!
Really,who gives a sht who this nutjob endorses ?
She endorsed an old, white male?? She’s worse than Hitler.
He’s the drooling Ginger-boy that gave the response to Trumps first SOTU
As loony as the rest of that butt-ugly, buck-toothed drunken clan
She owes Ed for supporting her Green New Deal.
Other than that, Ed is a lightweight, and the Kennedy is a distant political inheritor. Still, the Kennedy name has some power in MA.
No. More. Kennedys.
Seriesly.
Markey is almost as stupid as Occasional Cortex.
The new Kingmaker!
Mr. Frosty is a dead man walking - no way Mass votes against a Kennedy.
“...her political star power”
Is this CBS hack mentally retarded?
Taxachussets-y shood she care?
Yes, she is one of the most popular people in the US and nobody on the D side will step up to challenge.
Not sure which of the three is more closely tied to the intellect of a Marshmallow?
As a Gay Stater... it’s a Toss Up Jim!
Old Markey wears his “occasional kotex” quite well.
