Former Fox News hosts and conservative commentators Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck offered praise for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after she knocked off Democratic Rep. Joseph Crowley (N.Y.) in a primary earlier this week.
"I have heard some Republicans deride Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and I think that’s a mistake," O'Reilly tweeted this week. "She won by outworking long time Democratic Congressman Joseph Crowley and seems to care more about people than power. A good thing for any politician."
O'Reilly, who was fired from Fox News in 2017 after sexual harassment complaints against him were reported, complimented Ocasio-Cortez's voter outreach but made clear he disagrees with her policy views, adding "socialism never works. Ask Venezuela."
Beck, who left Fox in 2011, echoed his former colleague's thoughts and expressed appreciation for Ocasio-Cortez's honesty.
"@Ocasio2018 seems genuine and honestly trying to do what she believes is right. I completely disagree with her solutions, but she is listening to her community. I would rather debate an open socialist than those who hide what they believe," Beck tweeted.
Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described democratic socialist and former organizer for Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) 2016 presidential campaign, embraced Beck's comments.
"Thank you, @glennbeck. We may disagree, but I sincerely appreciate the good faith," she tweeted.

The left is at war with us. Conservatives think they are at the country club.
THinking she’s right doesn’t make anything right or good - other than her intentions.
Her economics are pure Venezuela.
‘trying to do what she believes is right’
So did Karl Marx.
Bill who?
Glenn who?

I sure prefer Laura over Bill.
Beck and Oh-really? Next. Pompous asses of hollyweird.
As several posters on this thread have commented, Hitler was also sincere, and so was Lenin. They both wrote books about what they were going to do, and then they did it.
Sadly, that was my first guess as well. Bill thinks she’s hot.
Who’s stopping her?
Our side should be contributing to her campaign, shell drive more people out of the democrat party than these two Pecksniffians ever will.
I agree with them and she is sincere.
She’s wrong but, she’s sincere and I hope she eventually sees the error of the ideaology she currently embraces.
She really should read about the Mayflower Compact for context of the failure of her belief, then study the Welfare State for modern proof.
O’Reilly thought Obama was basically a good guy. Just saying.
I did say Obama is a patriot, hmmmm...
O’Reilly is acting like there is more dirt about him ready to come out if he speaks his mind.
That she is. Another non-NBC who’s all hat and no cattle.
Agreed! Selling socialism to the young and idealistic is easy though. Hey friends and neighbors; how would you like it if you all made the same money and were guaranteed a job so you could focus more on what matters most in your life like family? If so; socialism is for you!
The only catch is it eventually leads to the things you mentioned but the seller always leaves that out of the sales pitch.
Try to do it in another country please. Why don’t these people who hate America and our Constitution please leave::
Every communist and socialist throughout history, and Nazis too.....tried to “do what was right.” They all thought and think they are doing what’s right. Obama, Hillary, and this fool in New York too.
What fools Oreilly and Beck are.
She’s a Puerto Rican in a gerrymandered Puerto Rican district. The only reason she won was because Crowley pocketed the campaign money and stayed in Arlington.
The naïvety is astounding. We don't need to be "cared" for. Their job should be to do what we elect them to do under the original intent of the Constitution. This crazy eyed weirdo Socialist is a typical political con artist who appeals to the weak minded. They feed ignorant people the heroin of the political system. Remember the lust over Obama by Conservatives? Our side tends to get weak kneed. This hyphenate idiot grew up in West Chester County NY and not the Bronx!
Socialism is evil. It is wrong to paint it up with lipstick.
