Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) used highly inflammatory rhetoric attacking former President Donald Trump late this week, just days after he was shot during an assassination attempt at a political rally.
AOC made the remarks in a video that she posted to social media where she claimed that everyone was doing “everything and anything possible to prevent a Trump presidency.”
She claimed that Biden’s disastrous debate performance “didn’t change much at all”, which is false as post-debate polling showed that more Americans believed that he was unfit for office than after watching him struggle against Trump.
AOC then further ratcheted up her inflammatory remarks against Trump: “Donald Trump is also very old and a racist and a neo-Nazi.”
She then turned her attention to the party’s elite, claiming that they were the ones who wanted Biden gone, even though The Wall Street Journal found 80% of Americans believe that Biden is too old to be president again.
“This class of donors, decision-makers, and power players started to waver after the debate… and saying they need to jump ship. I’m not entirely convinced by that argument,” she said. “Even when this conversation was really kicking up, I think people need to understand the gravity of what these people are proposing. The last two or three weeks of members of Congress or ‘Democratic sources’ going on background… giving little anonymous quotes to journalists… If that’s what you think is best for the country, put your name on it.”
“A huge amount of the donor class and a huge amount of these elites, and a huge amount of these folks in these rooms who are pushing for President Biden not to be the nominee, also are not interested in seeing the vice president be the nominee,” she later added. “Will they win out on that? I don’t know. But I am here to tell you, do not take that outcome for granted.”
