Courage to Change, the far-left PAC founded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has made its first round of endorsements for progressive congressional and Senate candidates. Not surprisingly, three out of the seven are running to oust members of their own party — some of whom have been endorsed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Perhaps the best-known candidates Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is endorsing are two women that she has already donated money to in the past.
Jessica Cisneros in Texas is working to unseat current Dem. Rep. Henry Cuellar, a moderate politician known for his support of Second Amendment rights. Rep. Cuellar has already dismissed his wannabe replacement, making it clear that while progressive values may be appreciated on the East and West Coast, they won’t fly in his conservative Texas district.
The other candidate, Marie Newman, made news two years ago when she nearly unseated Illinois Dem. Rep. Dan Lipinski — the only Democrat serving in the House of Representatives who isn’t pro-abortion. Sadly, this time around, Mrs. Newman may very well be successful.
Other endorsed congressional candidates hail from Nebraska, New York, California, and New Mexico. A seventh candidate, Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez, is running for the Democratic Party’s nomination for U.S. Senate in Texas. Her opponent, MJ Hegar, has the backing of the Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, and thus the support of the party leadership. If Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez wins the primary, she will still need to compete against current Republican Senator John Cornyn.
Given the fact that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has alienated moderate fellow Democrats in the past, it’s not surprising that she’s willing to defy party leadership like this. She’s an outspoken supporter of Vermont senator and leading presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. She has also continually clashed with senior Democrats in the House over issues such as the Green New Deal.
The creation of AOC’s PAC and its support for hardline progressive candidates challenging incumbent Democrats is only giving the DNC even more headaches. The endorsements come at a critical time for the Democratic Party, as moderate leaders are struggling to keep the progressive wing from totally taking over. They already seem powerless as Sanders sweeps primary voting contests, and long-time moderates like former Vice President Joe Biden struggle to remain relevant.
Just a few short years ago, many considered it conspiratorial to refer to Democratic candidates as “socialist” or perhaps even “leftist.” With AOC leading the fray, and Bernie Sanders running rough shot over the primaries, this is no longer a conspiracy. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and her ilk are now wearing the labels with pride.
They need to get Nancy Pelosi out of Congress, she is so obsessed with trying to get Trump out of the White House she is not doing anything for the American people that she was elected to do. The possibility of 4 more yrs for Donald Trump looks
very promising. So 4 more yrs of her trying to impeach him will be Time and Money wasted. She has become a Cancer to the system enough is enough!!!
It is imperative that Botex Face,RIPPER DISGRACED Pelosi & her #1 Worlds Liar Schiff, Nadler, Waters, the Squad together with all the Radical, Racist, Nazi, Socialist Communist DemoRATS are vanished from Congress FOREVER.
The DemoRATS & Squad are all back by SOCIALIST $BILLIONAiRE, GEORGE SOROUS & other Socialist Billionaires, and Schiff sister is married to George Soror’s Son.
There is so much corruption that has been going on for years and years in the DemoRAT Party, and that is the reason they want to destroy our Historic President Trump, because they are living in fear that they will all be finally EXPOSED
We need to take back the House and maintain the Senate, it is the only way to stop this socialist attack against our country. Then we have to take back control of our schools, where do you thing the young people are getting their idea’s that socialism is a good thing. Our schools are brainwashing our kids and the teachers union and the teachers are all liberal! This includes all of the professors in colleges that complete the brainwashing of your kids! WAKE UP PARENTS, YOU ARE PAYING FOR THIS WITH YOUR TAXES!
It’s time to get her out she’s useless and her and her buddy’s thinks there above the law time to clean the swamp they all need to go
This is the only time I agree with you
The liberal Dems like Ocasio- Cortez will be the death of the mainstream Democratic Party.
America can actually do without the Democratic party , I’m sure we’ll get along better than ever . Their problem is the President of the United States has done so much better than they ever could. Obscured immature children . But the Bible says the end times our government officials will act like children.
AOC & her squad need to GO, ASAP! If a Dem wins in 2020, AOC & some of her squad may be put in important jobs in the white house. They are crazy women! They marry their brothers & tell us the earth will end in a few years to scare us. Nancey Pelosi needs to get a good hold of her Dems, so far she is failing. Of course, after the way Nancey Pelosi acted like a child during the presidents speech, we can’t expect anything proper from her either… after that planned stunt. I don’t have any faith in any of the Dems running for president. I am NOT ready for a homeasexual to be in the white house. I won’t vote for an angry Sanders who may have another heart attack at any time. I won’t vote for a liar like Warren. Biden is two steps away from dementia and Bloomberg is just plain ridiculous. No vote from me for any of them. It is so sad when my own Democratic party makes me ashamed of them. As of right now, I WILL be voting for Trump in 2020. I will cross my party lines to vote for Trump because of the Dems.
Aoc’s list of endorsements should. be
a list that we use of candidates that we should run out town… Her support should be like a scarlet letter for candidates and they should be avoided like the plague
It is time for her to go. She has nothing but cause trouble and half the time she doesn’t even know what she is talking about. It is very evident she hates America. I wouldn’t mine if she took Pelosi with her. I think Pelosi should be thrown out because of conflict of interest since her daughter is married to George Soros son. I wonder how much she and her daughter have leaked?
To hell with the socialist democrat party they will destroy America. They are going to steal your homes and your money to give it to illegals. And of Bernie whats more money. When we let them take away oil car dealers and people with cars will pay high taxs to keep them and fuel 20$ a gallon. Why vote for the people that will Kill you.Down with socialist And commies Down with Bernie And the Aoc she sucks
Are people still tarred and feathered?
I agree with each response. Little Pig Face, AOC should be thrown in jail for her disrespect of our president and the constitution . She hates it here as much as we hate her and other three little piggies in her squad. All 4 of them should be deported back to their respective countries. Let them open their big mouths over there as see how long they survive. We should try them all for treason
The four little Piggies and their mother, Nancy, daddy Adam and uncle Jerry should all rot in hell and should be made to personally pay each of us back our money that they wasted. They are employed by us to do a job. Not one of us would get away with going to work and doing whatever we wanted instead of the job we were hired to do. What gives them the right to use our money to carry out their own sick agenda. They literally stole our money and should face criminal charges
Maybe justice will be served when they are all burning in hell
The Dems say they want to reunite the country, when, they in fact, are the ones who divided the country with their assinine views & ridiculous plans sticking it to the middle class to pay for their follies. They are ruthless people who hate America & our ideals. They don’t deserve to live here anymore. Deport them all to whichever country will take these devils. Shame on the Dems for allowing the erosion of their party. They are now the party of crooks, cheats & liars. JFK must be trembling in his gave as is every interned veteran who gave their lives for our beloved country to keep us free & socialism & communism out of America. In my opinion, we are now a one party system. Get rid of Pelosi & her band of merry makers. She has destroyed what once was a legitimate second choice for the American people. Shame on her & those that follow her doctrine. If she’s done anything positive at all it’s the fact that she & the Dems have assured us of 4 more years of Republican rule. Thank you for that.
