AOC Responds To John Kasich Dig From DNC

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) accused former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) of fighting "against women's rights" after he suggested she has received “outsized publicity” relative to her role in the party.

Kasich, who sought the GOP presidential nomination in 2016, is set to address the virtual Democratic National Convention this week, as is Ocasio-Cortez. In an interview with BuzzFeed News, the former governor suggested the New York congresswoman is the beneficiary of publicity for “people on the extreme.”

“You know, I listen to people all the time make these statements, and because AOC gets outsized publicity doesn't mean she represents the Democratic Party,” he said. “She's just a part, just some member of it. And it's on both sides, whether it's the Republicans or whether it's the Democrats.”*

The problem with the DNC is that they’re beholden to their donors; and their donors are wealthy republicans.

It's amazing how conservative establishment guys are terrified of AOC. Love it.

[OllyRoberton]

It shows how far your country has moved to the right that AOC & Sanders are considered extreme by the establishment. In the UK they would both be Labour party MPs and considered moderates. Universal healthcare is not an extreme position; your country is radical in being the only developed nation that doesn't have it.

BREAKING NEWS.... ratings have just arrived. Last night's televised DNC has been officially rated the lowest rated convention in the history of the DNC. Down 34 %

[parisLuvsdolls]

His comments were so horrible! They are so terrified of AOC! Women rule!

[MaJoRMJR]

In other countries (especially in Europe) both AOC and Bernie would be considered centrist moderates, while Biden, Harris et al would all be considered right of centre and Trump would be considered an extreme right-wing nutter.

AOC is a hero.
progressive don't get the 'air time' that dems and gops get because it is the establishment vs progressives. The only way the 66-77% of us who agree with progressive policies will get what we want is to vote for progressive representatives. We need more young progressive representatives and we need them NOW.

For those wondering why AOC nominated Sanders
From her twitter:
If you were confused, no worries!

Convention rules require roll call & nominations for every candidate that passes the delegate threshold.

I was asked to 2nd the nom for Sen. Sanders for roll call.

I extend my deepest congratulations to
@JoeBiden
- let’s go win in November.

"No one pushes Biden around" the American people should be able to "push" their politicians in the right direction for the American people.

You remember hearing the words, “ brace for impact” November 11th 2016?
Well it’s 2020 and I would recommend you beginning to bracing yourself for one hell of an impact.
It’s going to be a trump 2020 landslide and I think you know that.

I love AOC, not only because she is Hispanic but because of her Can do attitude, nothing is too big for her to accomplish .. She will go far with her spit fire attitude and make a difference where it really matters . Good luck AOC ..

[heavyarms]

God Bless AOC. The best person in the US government in 2020. If disagree, you're wrong.

[christopherthorn]

Fox News has done more to amplify AOC than any other media. She does have a special talent for cutting twitter remarks.

[no-one]

His first statement is "I think both parties have to have new ideas". Members bring new ideas and they are labeled radical?!? Even when a Republican isn't trying to republican, they gaslight.

[devirama]

What we need in 2024 is a Progressive Party. The Democratic party is dead.

[smoothretsina]

Wow! AOC nominates Bernie not Biden! Talk about internal conflict in the DNC! Man that is just too awesome.

[jftt]

stop saying kasich almost won. Some of us are old enough to remember how big of a joke he was for staying in the race as long as he did considering how bad he was doing.

[ghadiX]

why isn't TYT addressing the Clinton endorsement ?
can't wait for Nov.

[nathanielhellerstein]

I love it when trolls underestimate AOC. She is a mirror; they look at her and see their own folly and ignorance.
