Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) slammed New York state party leadership on Wednesday after election returns showed the Empire State trending to the right, calling on the president of the group to resign.
“NYS Dem party leadership, which was gutted under [former New York Gov. Andrew] Cuomo [D], stuffed with lobbyists, works to boost GOP, and failed to pass a basic state ballot measure to protect NY redistricting, must be accountable,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter.
“I called for Jay Jacob’s resignation a year ago and I still hold that position,” she added, referring to the New York State Democratic Party president.
Ocasio-Cortez was responding to a graphic from The New York Times that compared the votes cast in the Empire State’s gubernatorial race this year to the 2020 presidential election. According to the Times, the vote in New York this year shifted more Republican.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), however, still fended off a challenge from Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), securing her first full term as chief of the Empire State after assuming the role following Cuomo’s resignation over sexual harassment allegations.
In a subsequent tweet, Ocasio-Cortez posted the link to an article from October 2021 that detailed Jacobs being under fire for making an analogy involving former KKK leader David Duke.
That month, Jacobs argued that the party does not have to endorse a candidate because they win the primary, offering a “scenario” where Duke won a Democratic primary in New York.

Let me guess: she won re-election. Typical of New York.
~70%
Dem Gouse canidates got trounced. Zeliden ran REALLY well, helped us a lot.Future Cabinet Post?
Well, let’s go over AOC’s credentials, doesn’t know what a garden or a garbage disposal is. Claim to fame is preaching socialism while increasing her net worth into the millions (how? Well, DC!) so decide for yourselves, Gnu Yakkers.
THEY LOST POWER IN THE HOUSE,...THEY ARE TERRIFIED WHAT MIGHT BE COMING
I’ll give AOC a little there were probably disgruntled Cuomo people hurt by his departure in New York who probably helped the GOP a bit under the radar but there’s crime and the economy regardless including the criminality of Cuomo himself.
“THEY ARE TERRIFIED WHAT MIGHT BE COMING”
No they aren’t. The house can’t do nothing by itself. Especially with the tiny majority we might end up with.
AOC is probably stupid enough that she doesn’t understand what happened last night.
I’ll guess she actually is that stupid.
Speaking of leadership, let’s hope that AOC becomes the minority leader in the house.

All spending bills are initiated in the House. Plus, the House can hold hearings and issue subpoena to expose wrongdoings that have been swept under the rug under Pelosi. And I wouldn’t give up on control of the Senate just yet. There are 300-400,000 votes yet to be counted in AZ, there is a runoff in GA, and Laxalt may yet win in NV.
I literally don’t give a flip about NYC or NY state. Let them rot. They overwhelming re-elected the idiots who are destroying their lives and letting criminals run wild.
Piss on them.
The Republicans in NY state will have flipped several House seats from Democrat to Republican before the counting is over...
One of the Democrats they beat is the (about to be former!) Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair.

How about your state?

Utterly ridiculous comments like this are all over FR today.
TN is about as red as it gets.
NYC is a shithole. They still vote for Democrats. Lost cause.
NY state governor and Senators are Democrats and will continue to be so. Lost cause.
New yorkers vote for her, enough said.
She claims to be a communist and is now a millionaire. She is following in the steps of Bernie Sanders. He tells the idiots he’s a communist so they will vote for him and he is accumulating mansions. She wants to do the same. New yorkers are a lost cause. You can’t fix stupid.
At least people were getting in her face at her town hall meetings. Unfortunately in NYC it will have to get much worse before the generational D voter will wake up! It’s a beginning though. I reside on Long Island and there is still sanity there.
She’s probably one of the reasons those Democrats lost. Democrats lack the capacity for introspection.

LOL! I’m so thrilled she’s unhappy.
