AOC’s beef with MCC isn’t over yet.
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is alleging that shadowy political forces handpicked former news anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera to challenge her in last year’s primary because of her “ethnicity” as part of a “disgusting” attempt to confuse voters.
Ocasio-Cortez made the blistering claim in a wide-ranging
interview this week, charging that “Wall Street” and other unspecified entities selected Caruso-Cabrera for the 2020 primary battle specifically because she’s “also a Latina, down to having a hyphenated last name.”
“It was just the most cynical, disgusting thing,” Ocasio-Cortez said in the interview published by the Democratic Socialists of America’s magazine. “They weaponized all the cynical powers of trying to get someone of my ethnicity, trying to even confuse people in terms of the name — Caruso-Cabrera versus Ocasio-Cortez.”

Ocasio-Cortez, one of the most influential progressive Democrats in Congress, beat Caruso-Cabrera by a landslide, clinching 75% of the vote in the June 23, 2020 primary.
Caruso-Cabrera, who lost the race and has since launched a 2021 campaign for City Comptroller, had a spokeswoman call bull on Ocasio-Cortez’s claim.
“That’s not grounded in any reality,” Caruso-Cabrera campaign manager Arielle Confino told the Daily News on Friday. “She entered that race on her own accord. There were no special forces behind that race.”
Ocasio-Cortez’s commanding 2020 primary victory came even though Caruso-Cabrera, a former CNBC anchor, spent more than $2 million on her campaign, making it one of the most expensive races in the country when combined with the $6 million dished out by the congresswoman.
Caruso-Cabrera faced backlash from progressives for accepting campaign contributions from wealthy Wall Street executives, including the CEOs of Goldman Sachs and Blackstone.
Ocasio-Cortez, who doesn’t take corporate donations, didn’t specify in the interview which particular entities she believes were behind Caruso-Cabrera’s primary challenger, but Lauren Hitt, a spokeswoman for the congresswoman, said Friday that she was referring broadly to “the special interests that funded our primary opponent.”
DPST hatred and Lies never end - even between themselves
AOC is a disgusting partisan marxist idiot wit the IQ of a bag of hammers.
She is as hateful as any TDS affected minion ever could be.
AOC is laughable - if she were not so marxist dangerous.
And - AOC will put over 100 million americans in her re-education/concentration camps to be turned into soylent green new deal biscuits. She is that dangerous.
‘Cynical, disgusting’: AOC says her 2020 primary challenger was picked because she’s also Latina
