DNC chair: Ocasio-Cortez represents the 'future of our party'

By Aris Folley - 07/03/18 04:35 PM EDT

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tom Perez said Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez represents the “future of our party” on Tuesday.

"I have three kids. Two of them are daughters — one just graduated college, one who is in college. And they were both texting me about their excitement over Alexandria because she really — she represents the future of our party," Perez said on "The Bill Press Show."

Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old self-proclaimed democratic socialist and organizer with Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) presidential campaign, rose to fame after defeating incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley (D) in a stunning primary upset last week.

Crowley was the No. 4 House Democrat and seen as a potential Speaker.

Perez on Tuesday added that he had "great respect" for Crowley, calling him a “good Democrat” who “fought the good fight."

It would be a good thing, for sure.

She is the gift that keeps on giving. The dims have backed themselves into a corner and violence is their only option. The democrat establishment has shown little if any inclination to take on their extremist groups. I haven’t heard one establishment democrat openly condemn or break with BLM, Antifa, environmentalist wackos, LGBT, the teachers’ unions, SEIU, or any other mentally ill democrat factions.

I certainly hope it is their undoing.

I certainly hope some percentage of Democrats keep realizing how radical the DNC has become.

I certainly hope some Bernie supporters come to the realization that Bernie sold out to Hillary for the right price.

There was nothing stunning about it. Read the details of the election and the voting.

I sorta feel sorry for Crowley; he kinda got shoved out of the way.

Super! I guess this means Republicans will maintain control of the House, Senate and White House well into the next century.

Thanks, Crazy Eyes Cortez!

I'm shocked. SHOCKED! Bill Press is still alive? And still has a show?

As for the article, if AOC is the party's future, they have no future.

Perez is a hardcore communist who’s Grandfather was the Dominican Ambassador to the US under Right Wing Dictator Trujillo.

Perez’s Grandfather actively worked to subvert and overthrow Trujillo and align himself with the communist party.

When Trujillo found out about Perez’s Grandfathers support for the communists, he told him he would be a LOT better off if he never came home.

As a result, Tom Perez was born in the US and has since worked for a long line of communist bastards.

“President Dwight Eisenhower began to change his opinion of Trujillo after the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista by Fidel Castro in January, 1959. Eisenhower observed that: “It’s certain that American public opinion won’t condemn Castro until we have moved against Trujillo.”

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) also warned Eisenhower that Trujillo was so unpopular in Dominican Republic that it was only a matter of time before he became the victim of a left-wing revolution. Therefore it was suggested that the CIA should become involved in replacing him with a more suitable pro-American supporter. CIA’s Black Operations (Executive Action) was brought in to remove Trujillo.

This plan had the support of President Romulo Betancourt of Venezuela. He told Eisenhower: “If you don’t eliminate him, we will invade”. A training camp was setup in Venezuela by Dominican exiles flown there from the United States and Puerto Rico by the CIA. This group had been recruited from the privileged sectors of Dominican society in order to make sure that the overthrow of Trujillo did not result in the establishment of a communist government.

Rafael Trujillo was assassinated on 30th May 1961 when his car was machine-gunned by a group of men on a quiet road outside the capital. Before the CIA could get their people in power, Rafael Trujillo Jr. rushed home from France and installed himself as the country’s new ruler. Over the next six months he executed all his known opponents.”-http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKtrujillo.htm

Perez’s family had a hand in the assassination of Trujillo, this MF knows exactly what he is doing and is working to achieve the same result against Trump in the US.

THE VERY DEFINITION OF A DOMESTIC ENEMY

You’d better hope not. She’s in one of the few districts in the United States where that nonsense sells with the majority of the population.


When Fidel Castro came to the UN in NYC to speak, he was very popular in certain congressional districts.

Enough to win a majority in the House? I didn’t think so.

When Obama was running in 2008, anyone who labeled him a “socialist” was accused of using the terms as code for the “N-word”. Now they embrace it...as long as the enemedia will bury stories about the horrors of socialism (Venezuela, Cuba, etc.).

Anyone who is half way serious about this political stuff knows that Obama was a socialist of the incrementalist school. He pushed as far towards socialism as practical politics would allow.
