New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said on Thursday that she is planning to mobilize her massive basis of followers to oppose what she described as a 'consent' by Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer to accept the GOP financing law of the Gop House.
“I think there is a deep sense of indignation and betrayal,” said Ocasio-Cortez reporters in Leesburg, Virginia, where house democrats are being collapsed for their annual policy retreat. She said that she and her colleague -democrats 'texts, call, send carrier pigeons', to mobilize the democratic basis against Schumer's plan to make the GOP Financing Act progress.
And she closed Senate Democrats for their decision to “fully roll and give up the protection of the constitution.”
Asked if Senaatdemocrats need new leadership, Ocasio-Cortez would only say that she is concentrating on how she can prevent her party from accepting the GOP account.
“We have time to correct the course about this decision. Senate Democrats can no. We can correct the course, and that is the most important thing for us, “said Ocasio-Cortez.
The New York Democrat is one of the most vocal democratic officials nationally in the push against the GOP Financing Act of the house. With the help of its social accounts, OCASIO-CORTEZ fellow democrats have encouraged to exert maximum pressure on their own senators on the Financing Act, the first important leverage in the second term of President Donald Trump.
Private house democrats are so furious about Schumer's decision that some started to encourage her against Schumer in a primary, according to a democratic member who spoke directly with Ocasio-Cortez about running the Caucus policy retreat. Multiple Democrats in the progressive caucus of the congress and others immediately encouraged Ocasio-Cortez to walk on Thursday evening after Schumer's announcement, this member said.
The member said that Democrats in Leesburg were 'so crazy' that even central democrats 'were ready to write checks for AOC for Senate', adding that they 'have never seen people so crazy'.
Asked by CNN about fellow democrats who encourage her to challenge Schumer, Ocasio-Cortez refused and said that she was aimed at retaining the Democrats to support the Financing Act: “We still have the opportunity to correct the rate here, and that is my number one priority.”
But speaking with reporters, Ocasio-Cortez did not hold down her criticism of the Senate Democrats for the return of a vote that wanted to take Democrat Democrat on one on one on one on one on one on one on one on one on one on one on one.
“There are members of the congress who have been won in one of the most difficult ground areas in the United States in the United States who have followed the shelf and have taken countless risks to defend the American people, to defend social security and medicare and Medicare,” she said. “To see Senate Democrats consider even being in accordance with Elon Musk, I think there is a huge blow to the face. And I think there is a broad sense of betrayal if things continue as planned at the moment. “
