New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is furious with members of her own Party.
The representative was on an Instagram live video on her page when she shredded fellow Democrats and, in particular, anonymous Democrats who said they were resigned to former President Donald Trump becoming president again.
She was also furious with the fact that she believes when they talk about replacing President Joe Biden as the Democrat nominee they also appear to want to skip Vice President Kamala Harris too.
“If you think that there is consensus among the people who want Joe Biden to leave that they will support Vice President Harris, you would be mistaken,” the representative said. “They’re not going to be fully honest, but I’m going to be honest for them.”
“I’m in these rooms. I see what they say in conversations,” she said. “I’m here to tell you that a huge amount of the donor class and a huge amount of these elites and a huge amount of these folks in these rooms that I see that are pushing for President Biden to not be the nominee also are not interested in seeing Vice President being the nominee.”
And less than a week after the attack on the former president she called him a “neo-Nazi.”
“I’m pretty sure a lot of people knew that the President is old. President Biden is very old. Donald Trump is also very old and a racist and a neo-Nazi,” the representative said in the unjustified character assault.
“A lot of people don’t love that we have the same exact match-up all over again, which is to say that the debate didn’t change much at all. It didn’t really change a lot in terms of people’s perceptions, in terms of where the electorate is at and going into the debate,” she said.
Republicans have vowed to mount challenges in court if the Democrats attempt to replace the president as the Party’s nominee, which the representative referred to in her video.
“It has been confirmed by the Republican Speaker of the House that Republicans are already preparing legal challenges to any change on ballot that may happen,” the representative said. “The possibility of our elections being decided by the Supreme Court ruling skyrocket.”
“I’m looking at a watch and I’m looking at a clock and I’m looking at a calendar. And I think that if personally, people want to have this conversation six months ago, eight months ago, a year ago. It’s a very different landscape of logistics,” the representative said.
“If you’re an everyday person that has this opinion, I’m not angry, but this whole class of people who are coming with this other opinion now have supported the president the entire time, and many of those people are the same people who closed ranks around anybody who wanted to raise this conversation a year ago,” she said.
The representative shredded fellow Democrats who have been giving anonymous quotes to the media about their desire for the president to step aside.
“There have been lots of Democrats who have been giving little anonymous quotes to the press,”the representative said. “I’m sorry, I’m going to say because it’s after the midnight, that’s bulls‑‑‑.”
One of the reasons I love AOC is because she’s straight up.
Tonight on IG Live, she called out Democrats anonymously undermining Biden to reporters. She called it “bullshit” and told them to “say it with your chest” and “put your name on it.” pic.twitter.com/Cj9h6asjUg

“If you have an opinion, say it in public. But the idea that you are an elected official and you are supposed to be responsible for a community, and you’re just going to text some journalists on the low and say, ‘This is what I think — don’t put my name next to it,’” she said. “What are you here to do? If that’s your opinion, and if that’s what you think is best for the country, put your name on it.
