AOC Is Coming for More Than Just Schumer After

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) might have been making an attempt with his authorities shutdown to impress his leftist base to maintain off any problem to his seat from Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14). 

But instead, because the Democrats in the end caved, Schumer is now being held accountable for that capitulation by the left, and they’re even angrier with him than they had been before the shutdown. They’re not shopping for that Schumer wasn’t in on the capitulation, even though he voted “no” on the deal to end the shutdown.

Now AOC is also weighing in, and it sounds to me that both Schumer and other Democrats had better be ready to face primaries from the left. 

New — Asked AOC about Chuck Schumer’s handling of shutdown. (He voted NO on invoice)

“We are talking about a coordinated effort of eight senators with the knowledge of Leader Schumer, voting to break with the entire Democratic Party in exchange for nothing,” she told GWN’s Manu Raju. 

“And now people’s health care prices are going to be skyrocketing …. But I feel that when we discuss about this debate about the Democratic Party, it’s, certainly, about the social gathering writ large and our capacity to struggle or not.” 

Of course, that’s nonsense, because it wasn’t the clean continuing resolution that was ending ACA COVID subsidies; that was the Democrats who had set them to expire at the end of the year. The whole Obamacare mess is on the Democrats. 

And if that wasn’t clear enough, what AOC was saying, when reporters specifically asked her if Schumer should stay as minority leader, she said it was broader than that and indicated people should be primaried. “This drawback is greater than one particular person,” she contended. 

🚨They asked AOC if she still wants to get rid of Chuck Schumer.

“Should Chuck Schumer keep as minority chief?”

Her answer suggests she wants to take down MORE than just Chuck Schumer.

She pointed out that among the eight, some were retiring and others weren’t up for several cycles, “with the hope that people will overlook this second.” She said that while New York’s Senate election wasn’t this yr, other Senate elections had been, and she hoped people would take part in their primaries. 

AOC said it was a drawback of the social gathering. I agree. 

Democrats had been making an attempt to play video games and maintain the American people hostage. Now, their own leftist base goes after them for not persevering with the hostage-taking, no matter who was harm or how it’d harm the nation. Hopefully, they all implode together over their own extremism, and people see how loopy their positions actually are. 

Editor’s Note: After more than 40 days of screwing Americans, a few Dems have finally caved. The Schumer Shutdown was never about precept—just inflicting pain for political factors.
