Sanders endorsement is 'most authentic decision to let people know how I feel,' AOC says

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez formally endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders at a rally in Queens on Saturday. In an exclusive interview with CBS News political correspondent Nikole Killion, Ocasio-Cortez explained why she is endorsing so early in the race.

Oxford dictionary definition of authentic: Bernie Sanders

For people who minimize this endorsement as “being expected”: it was just as expected as Warren’s endorsement of Sanders in 2016.

Reading the comment section I am getting a pretty good idea of the kind of people who still watch or take the mainstream media seriously. It's amazing, they could tell you literally anything and these people will still take it as if it were pure facts and not propaganda. Just know that if you still believe the media, then you have no right to complain.

I really really admire this woman, I don't understand why there is so much hate for her? Can someone who has a dislike for her, please explain why?

[eshaffer]

Thanks, AOC, for your courage, and thanks Bernie, for your courage.

Love reading through all these comments. People attacking Bernie and AOC without anything of substance. Why am I not surprised. This guy would change the country for the better. Don’t comment on this post, just go read his policies. #bernie2020

She had a "great education" per her. . . Why was she "working as a bartender with no health insurance?" 4 years after graduating. . .and still owes on her college loan? Hmmmm. . . Sounds like she's the poster child for not endorsing college for everyone.

In the name of those millions of folks who haven't done well with the Obama / Trump economy... Thank you AOC ❤️
