AOC draws 3-mile-long line for rally in California’s Trump country
SF Gate ^ | April 16, 2025 | By Anabel Sosa

Rep. Kevin Kiley is under fire again as constituents from his conservative-leaning district are becoming increasingly fed up.

Kiley was under the microscope Tuesday at the most recent rally held by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders in Folsom. The Sacramento County event was the 10th stop on Sanders’ Fighting Oligarchy tour, which he’s been co-headling with Ocasio-Cortez in cities across the West. Tuesday’s event, despite taking place within Kiley’s heavily red district, drew about 30,000 supporters and had a 3-mile line extending beyond the entrance.

“I heard that they were, that someone started flying a plane with a banner that said, ‘This is Trump country.’ It sure don’t look like it today,” Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive from New York, said to a roaring crowd, referring to a plane that was reportedly circling overhead.

Kiley, who was elected in 2022, represents California’s 3rd District, which is a safe red district that spans a large swath of eastern California from Sacramento to the Sierra, and down to Death Valley.

Ocasio-Cortez called out Kiley and other Republicans in Congress if they end up voting to cut Medicaid and Social Security benefits in the Republican-led reconciliation bill.

Ignore her at your own peril. While there is no way in hell I would ever vote for her (or any Dem) I can see her, under certain conditions, getting a lot of support. The last Dem to draw crowds like this was Obama and we all know the 8 years of hell that ensued after he was elected.

My point is to oppose her by destroying her policies; not just post knee jerk insults.

People slow down to look when they pass a car wreck too.

I'd slow down to look at AOC. I think she's hot. Dumb but cute.

Oh please, manufactured headline. No doubt 75% of the crowd took the short drive in from Sacramento or the 2 hrs from the Bay area. The city of Folsom is approx. 55/45% Rats. Nothing burger.

Did they have a single check point and were forced to be single file?

Dismiss her at your own peril. She’s the leading Dem candidate as of today. If you laugh her away, you’ll wake up to President AOC.

All hat and no horse.

She’s so radical that if she gets the nomination for 2028 it will be Kamala 2.

Tempest in a teapot.

AOC draws 3-mile-long line for rally

Takes a number of sheets of paper to draw a 3 mile line.
Hope she (her,them, etc) used both sides to conserve.

You may be right about - rent a crowd, but what if you’re not?

**People forget she was selected from a group of people who answered an audition. She simply follows orders.**

Think record executives and marketers coming up with Madonna, En Vogue, The Spice Girls.
