Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Sunday sharply criticized an anonymous “senior Democrat” who was quoted saying the party was “resigned” to another four years under former President Trump.
Ocasio-Cortez, in a post on the social platform X, said Democratic members who feel that way should “absolutely retire” from their posts in Congress.
“If you’re a ‘senior Democrat’ that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X.
“This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people,” she added. “Retire.”
Ocasio-Cortez was responding to reporting from Axios about a shift among Democrats, who say they are focusing more now on their staffs personal safety, rather than on President Biden’s standing as the party’s presidential nominee.
“We’ve all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency,” a senior House Democrat said in the Axios story.
Democrats and Republicans have both largely signaled an effort to strike a unified tone in the wake of the assassination attempt on Trump’s life.
The Biden campaign has paused political activity, even taking down political advertising for the time being.
Don’t count chickens before the cheat.
This Bi$%h wouldn’t know “ fascism “ if it bit her on the ass
“Democrats and Republicans have both largely signaled an effort to strike a unified tone…”
LOL…that’ll last until breakfast tomorrow, just kill after 9/11.
Stupid voters electing stupid kids to play grown-up in Congress. Our enemies laugh at us.
Its amazing that this stupid little toad is still in congress.
Keep the crazy far, far away from Trump.
She makes blondes look smart.
I guess she must have made this remark before Biden asked everyone to dial down the rhetoric. I wonder if she'll walk it back?
That is ageism.
As in other “isms” she is in trouble now if she angers old timers in DC——there are a lot of them.
The average age of the US Senators is 64 years.
House went down three years to an average of 58 years. One member became the first elected Gen Z one.
More in DC subscribe to Prevention than to Wired, is my personal guess. And few Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo on their playlists.
She confuses it with facism, like cosmetics
Keep pushing it AOC. Please don’t stop.
I don't recall the useless b**** calling for the resignation of that Demwit aide in Mississippi, who wound up fired for saying the shooter should have had more range time or whatever.
Occasional-Cortex is still running with the "Trump is Hitler" Narrative that induced one of Joe's Antifa army to go after President Trump, eh?
I did Nazi see this coming from the Commie airhead.
Can someone PLEASE ask this airhead to define facism. Ask her who was the founder of the movement while your at it. She obviously has no clue and uses it as a synonym for evil.
Trump needs to expand his rallies into NY and other traditionally blue states.
She’s adorable when she gets all mad LOL
Mouth bigger than brain syndrome.
I wish the media would quit reporting on her. Who the hell cares what she thinks about anything?
