Democrats thought AOC would stay in line and support the team, but they were wrong.
She’s gone rogue and attacked Joe Biden in a way no one saw coming.
Now civil war is erupting among the Democrats and Joe Biden is furious.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been a wildcard ever since the day she was elected to Congress after previously working as a bartender in New York City.
At times she’s played nice with the Democrat establishment, especially when Nancy Pelosi served as Speaker.
But at other times, she’s taken vicious swipes at various Democrats, even threatening to challenge some of them in primaries.
Now she’s taking aim at Joe Biden over the immigration crisis happening in New York City.
The city has been flooded with illegal immigrants because Biden refuses to secure the border.
New York City’s own Democrat mayor Eric Adams has been vocal about the toll the number of immigrants has taken on his city and openly criticized Biden for doing such a terrible job.
And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has since come out and publicly agreed with Mayor Adams about Biden’s culpability.
According to the New York Post, “Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez agrees with Mayor Eric Adams that President Biden is failing to do enough to help New York City address the ongoing migrant crisis, but disagrees with Hizzoner that the problem requires cuts to essential municipal services.”
This is a major firing shot for the President of the United States to endure less than a year out from the presidential election.
Most Democrats are twisting themselves into pretzels defending Biden’s every move, no matter how indefensible.
But Ocasio-Cortez has gone rogue and agreed with some very harsh criticisms of Joe Biden.
Of course, as a far-left socialist, Ocasio-Cortez’s solutions to the immigration crisis are no better than Biden’s.
The article continues, “The ‘Squad’ member went on to question the need for additional federal spending on security at the US-Mexico border, saying previously allocated money hasn’t been spent.”
“But Ocasio-Cortez was dubious that the costs of caring for asylum-seekers necessitated Adams’ plan to impose drastic reductions in funding to city services, saying further analysis was needed.”
“We’re over-allocating in some areas, but we are dramatically under-allocating in resourcing for things like what we’re seeing here—shelters and other services here in New York City, Chicago, and other municipalities as well,” Ocasio-Cortez had to say.
By no means has Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suddenly seen the light and become a conservative – her policy proposals are still utter nonsense.
But she’s at least discovered some basic awareness to see Joe Biden is not doing a good job.
