Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used a familiar approach in response, except this time it’s against a fellow Democrat:
Good luck tanking your own party’s investment on childcare, climate action, and infrastructure while presuming you’ll survive a 3 vote House margin – especially after choosing to exclude members of color from negotiations and calling that a “bipartisan accomplishment.” 👍🏽👍🏽 https://t.co/0VF8Z73vAa

Getting AOC to attack her helps Sinema's re-election effort. Arizona Dems should send AOC a thank-you gift. https://t.co/C3Qo9TK6S9
