AOC Dumped Bernie After Joe Rogan Endorsement

[RAMROD 117,366]

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) declined multiple pleas from the Bernie Sanders campaign to stump for the Vermont senator’s candidacy after the Iowa caucuses, according to HuffPost.

Ocasio-Cortez was heavily involved in the campaign’s buildup to Iowa, headlining seven rallies for Sanders in Iowa over the weekend of January 24 to January 26.

But the progressive New York representative disagreed with the campaign over its decision to promote the endorsement of Joe Rogan, the popular podcaster who has been criticized by LGBT activists for opposing puberty blockers for gender-confused children. He has also spoken out against the participation of biological males competing in women’s sports.

Faiz Shakir, Sanders campaign manager, also reportedly criticized Ocasio-Cortez for a polarizing speech in which she advocated for those in attendance to help illegal aliens to avoid ICE. She also failed to mention Sanders’s name in the January 25th speech — a fact highlighted by Fox News.

HuffPost reported that neither the Sanders campaign nor the Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign office denied the facts of the story.

Ridiculous

They're really out to destroy Bernie aren't they? I can't believe I'll have to vote for Biden in Nov.

[Lion Heart 15,041]

A lot of Bernie supporters are also her supporters. 

I fear this might backfire..

She's terrible. 

Hopefully, MCC will unseat her. 

Her district is not that left-leaning actually. 

[Morphine Prince 109,729]

She didn’t dump him, she appeared at other campaign events later and is probably voting for him. 

She has every right to distance herself from something she disagrees with.

“the popular podcaster who has been criticized by LGBT activists for opposing puberty blockers for gender-confused children. He has also spoken out against the participation of biological males competing in women’s sports”.

This is what she’s so concerned about that she had to halt all her support? All of those listed above are legitimate stances.

Exactly. She's done so many rallies with him since then, just a few last week. The drama for no reason.

Funny how SYSTEMICALLY racist, sexist and transphobic Mike Bloomberg’s endorsement to Joe, isn’t affecting Biden at all 

Do y’all see the bullshit double standard/bias I’m talking about? 
 

Also amazing how moderates wanna talk about “we gotta be in the middle to get both the left and the right 🤪🤪🤪” but when they miraculously get a right wing person’s support it’s suddenly disavowable??

Democrats do NOT wanna win 2020

Didn’t she just campaign with Bernie in Ann Arbor, Michigan?

Pathetic

The way moderates can’t keep track of AOC’s activities like Biden can’t keep track of who/what he’s speaking too

 

[Supersonic 49,376]

So what I'm actually getting right now from this thread is that Bernie is begging for the endorsement of people that hold homophobic and transphobic opinions, but AOC somehow is the bad one for not wanting to associate herself with that (especially considering she's gonna appear on RuPaul's Drag Race this season)?

Sorry but... AOC is in the right and Bernie and his campaign should get the biggest side-eye of the century for that, especially from the LGBT people that vocally support him.

It legitimately worries me that people think he's fit to take the office of the presidency. Look, even though I didn't vote for Joe in the primaries, I've never had anything against him personally since this Democratic primary started. I almost kind of feel bad for him. He stutters way too many of his sentences, he can't finish many of his sentences, he looks confused half the time he's talking, like, come on people. Something's seriously going on with him...
