AOC Campaigns In Iowa For Sanders, Doesn’t Mention His Name

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sure has an odd way of campaigning for Bernie Sanders. She doesn’t mention his name.

Last October, Bernie scored the coveted AOC endorsement. What could be better than a young socialist with a huge following to endorse an old socialist who captured the imagination of the socialist wing of the Democrat Party in 2016? AOC, after all, volunteered for the Sanders campaign back then. She has a history with him. Last November he announced that she will fill-in for him on the campaign trail while he is doing his day job in the Senate during the impeachment trial.

AOC is in Iowa for Sanders. During a campaign event in Iowa City (home city of the University of Iowa), liberal filmmaker and activist Michael Moore joined her to fire up the crowd for Bernie. Something caught the attention of reporters, though. AOC never once mentioned Sanders’ name during her speech.

Is she really trying to campaign for herself, perhaps thinking about her own political future, by being there but not mentioning Bernie Sanders?

This tells you everything you need to know about AOC. She was invited to campaign for him as a surrogate and never mentioned him.

AOC is dangerous, frighteningly naive and ignorant about the real world, and mostly she is all about AOC.

She alienates more and more people in her own party every week. The “Squad” has been a disaster for the DNC.

Stole from the tip jar. Stole Bernie’s rally. Colors haven’t changed. Still the same ol’ Sandy.

Wish I could find a transcript and see how often she referred to herself. :-D

I hate her as much as I hate any leftist on earth, but I have to acknowledge success.

She’s doing something right, keeping Bernies numbers up while he’s locked in DC (per the plan laid out by Pelosi and the DNC to clear the field for Biden).
