AOC Claims 'Voter Suppression' Sank Bernie in Michigan Primary
Newsmax ^ | March 12, 2020 | Cathy Burke

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., suggests fellow progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., lost his Super Tuesday Michigan primary because of voter suppression.

In an interview on Fox News' "Special Report," Ocasio-Cortez was challenged on Sanders' apparent waning support.

"Well, I think one thing that isn't being talked about is the rampant voter suppression in this country," said Ocasio-Cortez, a surrogate for Sanders, noting a pre-primary rally in Ann Arbor, Michigan, drew 10,000 people.

She also wants paid sick leave, paid coronavirus testing, unemployment benefits, etc., and she and the Dems are "bumping it up it more." Bret asked her about the tweet about Pence. She disagrees with Pence being there "but at the end of the day, he's there." Wow!

She knows how to avoid the answers. Voter repression in Michigan...she thinks the young were turning out and waiting 3-4 hours to vote. That's voter repression???? News to me.

Of course, I can't write everything she said. I hope someone who's interested can find the video or the transcript for the interview. It was interesting.

Bernie Sanders got almost as many votes in Michigan in 2020 as he did in 2016. Biden got several hundred thousand more in 2020 than Clinton did in 2016.

Yeah — sounds like voter suppression to me. This dingbat gets dumber by the day.

The anti voter suppression party is planning on using clovid to keep people away from polling places.

Absentee ballots are no concern. They can fix those.

Their cigar will explode long before November, but, the people they have terrorized the most belong to the least reliable voting bloc in the country.

I'm in Michigan, and in my precinct I was voter number 38. I was there 1/2 hour after the polls opened.

I was given Republican ballot #2, which means there were 36 Democrat ballots given out before mine.

This was one of the lightest turnouts I've seen for a Presidential primary. Face it, Republicans knew that Trump was a shoo in, and nobody on the Democratic side inspired the "broken glass" voters to come out for the primary.

However, this will probably not be the same during the fall election, so complacency is not an option.

Does Sanders really think this half wit going all Bagdad Bob is helping his campaign?

I expect he does. It’s not as if she’s changed since he invited her to campaign for him.

I’m still shocked over her comment about Pence, she disagrees with Pence being there “but at the end of the day, he’s there.

This has become the typical Democrat response. If his/her/their choice doesn’t win, the election was somehow stolen.

She operates on the basis of ideology first, evidence next (and only then to support what her ideology says).

She has no, nada, zero interest in facts.

AOC probably senses (knowing implies too much brain power) that there isn’t much left on her “15 minutes of fame” timer.

Well, Hot Tabasco, that would require intelligent follow-up questions from the interviewer. Sadly, in today’s 24-hour news cycle reporting, there is precious little time for really intelligent questions...

She’s like a character on Sesame Street that came to life as “AOC”.

The narrative is that only republicans suppress votes, sweetheart. Get back in line.
