AOC-aligned progressive candidates fall flat in Super Tuesday contests

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's progressive candidates did not have a “super” Tuesday in the first congressional primaries of the 2020 cycle.

The Democratic establishment, on the other hand, could breathe a sigh of relief after three primary challengers from Texas and California underperformed in highly anticipated contests against longtime Democratic incumbents and establishment darlings.

A favorite of progressives across the country, Texas congressional candidate Jessica Cisneros, an immigration lawyer, came just short of recreating the AOC primary upset of her own when she attempted to unseat nine-term incumbent Henry Cuellar, who represents the Texas 28th district south of San Antonio. She played strong to her progressive roots and often referred to Cuellar as “Trump's favorite Democrat," also receiving high profile endorsements from Democratic presidential candidates, including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

Meanwhile, Christina Tzintzún Ramirez, the progressive-backed candidate for a Texas Senate seat, is struggling to make it into a runoff with MJ Hegar, the Democratic establishment's favored pick to face longtime Republican Sen. John Cornyn in November. While no candidate won more than 50 percent of the vote in the race, returns show Ramirez locked in a battle with Texas State Sen. Royce West for a place in the runoff with Hegar.

While these are only the first congressional contests of the election cycle, they could serve an early litmus test of how the Democrats plan to present themselves to voters in November. In the 2018 midterm elections, Democrats were able to win back the house largely because of their focus on less progressive candidates who mainly focused on kitchen table issues, such as drug prices and health care.

IT GETS BETTER———AOC mentor-—Young Jerks Cenk Uygur-—loses Cali race to replace Katie Hill in Congress

The Young Jerk knows plenty about this.

AOC was once slobbing up bar spills and is now in Congress wearing $2000 outfits, $600 shoes, bags and watches?

BACKSTORY: Cenk Uygur’s “Justice Democrats” and Saikat Chakrabarti’s “Brand New Congress” are a group of Bernie Sanders ex-staffers who decided 2018 midterms should be all about Bernie’s far left policies, and finding 400 Bernies to dump into races. They held auditions. AOC was hired to run in NY.

NOTE
<><> “Brand New Congress” mastermind is Saikat Chakrabarti
<><> “Justice Democrats” is Cenk Uygur, a Turkish-born Muslim.

Making a pile of money musta been a huge incentive. An FEC complaint was filed alleging AOC’s campaign created multiple private companies—LLCs—to siphon off campaign contributions from her various PACs for personal use......

The FEC complaint asserts that AOC’s campaign early on established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC’s campaign:
<><> the “Brand New Congress PAC,” and,
<><> the “Justice Democrats PAC.”

After mucho money was raised from the progressive suckers, they systematically transferred $885,000+ in PAC contributions to private companies with similar names:
<><> the “Brand New Campaign LLC,” and,
<><> the “ Brand New Congress LLC.”

Private companies, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.

NOTE WELL: it’s a much-used criminal act to enrich oneself, to open bank accounts using similarly named entities to siphon off money, to hide it from partners, associates, investors etc

AND PRESTO: a check made out to Brand New Congress PAC, is deposited in the Brand N.

SIPHONINGS A CINCH It’s easy to siphon off money for oneself by putting checks into the new accounts with similar names, depositing checks that were made out to the original entity. Even your bank advises that if a check-writer “mis-spelled” your name, to just endorse the check with the correct name. ew Congress LLC account.

ANALYSIS -— The private companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how AOC’s donations were used. The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions, according to the FEC 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 (A) the donations could have been pocketed, or, (B) used by the LLC’s to pay for off-the-books campaign operations.-—SNIP-—SOURCED FROM FR.

JUST WONDERING .....does Cenk Uygur have a reputation among Democraps for facilitating the conversion of campaign donations?

Maybe we should ask millionaire landowner Socialist Bernie (smirk)?

BTW, AOC has a lot more in common with Bernie than socialism. Besides socialism (gag)....
AOC’s COS used to be Bernie’s....wait for it.....”Director of Organizing Technology.”

AND THIS—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 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 2016 candidate 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?

Chakrabati was forced out as AOC’s COS after he tweeted several derogatory remarks about Speaker Pelosi.

BACKSTORY Bernie Sanders Rescinds Endorsement Of AOC Mentor Cenk Uygur;
Muslim Democrat would “Legalize Bestiality” b/c it pleasures animals

AOC mentor, Progressive Democrat Cenk Uygur, is running for Democratic California Rep. Katie Hill’s seat, who resigned amid scandal in October after allegations she slept with a congressional staffer and a campaign staffer, and nude photographs of her surfaced.

But “The Young Jerks” founder is already finding himself at the center of bizarre controversy involving past statements he made over bestiality during a live program, causing Sen. Bernie Sanders to retract his highly sought after endorsement a mere day after announcing it.

In a Young Jerks televised segment from 2013, the Muslim Democrat (AOC mentor) talks about “hot” women. But then the segment took an insane turn. “Here comes the controversial part I shouldn’t say,” Muslim Uygur said, in the resurfaced video.

“If I were the benevolent dictator of the world, I would legalize bestiality where you are giving, you are pleasuring the animal.”
