Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) turned down repeated requests from Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign to appear at events promoting the Vermont senator’s candidacy in recent weeks, according to three people familiar with the discussions.
After the Iowa caucuses, Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir asked Ocasio-Cortez to stump for Sanders in New Hampshire, according to the sources. The campaign prepared a model schedule to highlight the kind of popular support she would expect if she attended, one of the people familiar with the talks said.
Ocasio-Cortez resisted the entreaties until a few days before the primary on Feb. 12. She ultimately spoke the day before the election at a Sanders rally in Durham, New Hampshire, where the rock band The Strokes performed.
“It was like pulling teeth to get her to New Hampshire,” said a second person who knew about the discussions.
But the first source said a disagreement over Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks in Iowa seemed to cool her on helping with the campaign.
At a rally in Ames on Jan. 25, Ocasio-Cortez delivered a speech in which she failed to mention Sanders’ name ― an omission that Fox News noticed and highlighted. She also encouraged those in attendance to tip off people about the presence of immigration enforcement authorities in their communities to help undocumented immigrants evade detention.

Her main fear is being a one-term failure, instead of, say, a two-term failure.
Honestly, her dentist should be shot.
I keep seeing her in a pro-Bernard campaign ad?
On Words With Friends of all places.
AOC decided she was too important.
Or, perhpas, that Bernie wasn’t going to be the nominee, and she could more effectively raise her profile and promote her brand on her own time than as a Bernie surrogate (I think that word is especially apt here). For example, going on FOX for an interview with Brett Baier.
She’s bought and sold like the slave she is to the Democratic establishment
As long as Dems control NY politics, her job should be safe. They may re-arrange her district, but the Republican districts will be targeted. Edges will be peeled off and attached to neighboring safe Dem districts, and the Republicans will lose seats.
Smells of a millennial snitfit to me.
She endorsed him as a means to take up the mantle (once he lost) of the rabid leftist moonbats. Chica has Presidential aspirations herself.
I think AOC will be a lot like Squaw Warren or Kamalamadingdong Harris in a POTUS run. Lots of media hype, not so many votes.
Her ego knows no bounds. An American success story: From lowly bartender to President/Empress of the World!
My hope is that Trump appoints her Czarina of Puerto Rico after the election.
RE: Image of AOC above her capabilities and talents but still holding on for a while as barmaid.
Her answer to every difficult drink ordered, “Can you make a...”
was always “Can you make a shoe smell?”
She learned it from some movie she saw. Followed by secretly opening a can of premixed liquor blend from a grocery store.
Yes, funny, but the same dentist worked with Mr.Ed and I didn't hear any complaints then.
You’re funny!
She’s going to have a 2022 redistricting gerrymander problem.”””
You re assuming that she will get re-elected in 2020. That is her next election test.
That's not a look, it's the real thing.
