New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed her frustration with members of her own party in a recent Instagram Live video, particularly targeting anonymous Democrats who have voiced their resignation to former President Donald Trump potentially becoming president again. The representative also criticized the idea that replacing President Joe Biden as the Democrat nominee would lead to Vice President Kamala Harris taking his place, stating that many donors and elites in her party do not support this notion.
If you think there is consensus among the people who want Joe Biden to leave that they will support Vice President Harris, you would be mistaken,” Ocasio-Cortez said. They’re not going to be fully honest, but I’m going to be honest for them.” She went on to explain how she has seen this sentiment expressed in private conversations and that many of these individuals are not interested in seeing Kamala Harris as the nominee either.
The representative further escalated her criticism by referring to Trump as a “neo-Nazi” and suggesting that many people knew he was old, as well as being a “racist.” She also expressed concerns about the potential legal challenges Republicans may mount if Democrats attempt to replace the president as the Party’s nominee.
Ocasio-Cortez further criticized anonymous Democrats who have been giving quotes to the media regarding their desire for the president to step aside, urging them to publicly state their opinions and take responsibility for their beliefs as elected officials. She emphasized that if they genuinely believe replacing President Biden is best for the country, they should put their names on it.
In conclusion, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Instagram Live video highlights her frustration with members of her own party who have been voicing their support for Trump in anonymous quotes to the media and suggests that many within the Democratic Party do not support the idea of replacing President Joe Biden with Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee.
