Far-left AOC, Pressley push back against Dem leaders' bid to shield incumbents from primary challengers
Ocasio-Cortez and Pressley, both insurgents who ousted entrenched members of their own party, criticized a recently disclosed policy by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) to blacklist political firms that agree to work against sitting members of Congress, calling the policy "harmful to the party."
“The @DCCC’s new rule to blacklist+boycott anyone who does business w/ primary challengers is extremely divisive & harmful to the party," Ocasio-Cortez, who unseated 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley, tweeted Saturday.

My recommendation, if you’re a small-dollar donor: pause your donations to DCCC & give directly to swing candidates instead.
Some great ones:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been caught in so many gaffes they should just started replacing the word “gaffes” with the word “ocasio.”
In any case, her latest came during an MSNBC town hall meant to worship the ground she walks on:
According to AOC, Congress amended the Constitution to prevent FDR from being re-elected:
"They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt dd not get reelected."
(Reminder, FDR died in office in 1945; the 22nd Amendment came in 1947)
SO yes she thinks the Congress changed the Constitution to prevent FDR from getting re-elected… two years after he died.
As some have pointed out, the crowd is so dead set on worshipping her that they just nod their heads approvingly. Even Chris Hayes, who is known as supposedly one of the brighter liberals on that network, just kinda says “hmm” with ignorant approval. Amazing.
AND, if you missed this little clip, trust me it’s worth watching. It’s annoying but short, and explains so much.
