Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) has “been with the Republicans” since Congress returned, after the Michigan Democrat endorsed former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) in the midterms.
“She’s been with the Republicans ever since she’s come back. So she’s been on the Republican side of the aisle,” Ocasio-Cortez said during an appearance on “The Don Lemon Show” that aired Thursday.
“This is just the epitome of a certain kind of transactional politics,” she added. “And it’s really sad.”
I’m curious as to who you would define as these “moderate democrats” outside of Haley Stevens and John Fetterman
They literally point out Chuck Schumer and Jefferies.
So two guys who are very much not “symbolically” Democrats. Idk how you guys take these comments seriously, they’re so over the top ridiculous.
The minority leaders for the parties aren’t symbolic?
Are you high?
The comments above aren’t talking about their job titles.
Jeffries and Schumer are corpo Dems but that doesn’t make them only “symbolically” Democrats. It does not put them on the same level as Fetterman and Stevens. That’s just conspiracy theory nonsense.
You might want to reread the parent comment. You’ve misunderstood it quite badly.
Well, there’s the Blue Dog Caucus. Actually, a bunch of them got elected this time around, along with the progressives.
Anyone who takes corporate/big money donations, for one. Especially AIPAC or their affiliates.
