Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) has “been with the Republicans” since Congress returned, after the Michigan Democrat endorsed former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) in the midterms.
“She’s been with the Republicans ever since she’s come back. So she’s been on the Republican side of the aisle,” Ocasio-Cortez said during an appearance on “The Don Lemon Show” that aired Thursday.
“This is just the epitome of a certain kind of transactional politics,” she added. “And it’s really sad.”
We have to start acknowledging that we now have a THIRD party - The Israel Party - that straddles both of the traditional parties. Many legislators are more loyal to the Israeli Party than either of the trad political parties. Dems like Debbie Wasserman Schultz, or Jared Moskowitz, will side with Israel before they support Democrats.
We need to encourage Democrats to NOT be part of the overlap.
