Soon-to-be former Senator Claire McCaskill, who just lost her reelection bid to Republican Josh Hawley, continued to DUMP on newly elected Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, telling CNN that she’s “a little confused why she’s the thing”:

McCaskill went on to warn the 29-year-old from Queens that “rhetoric is cheap” and “getting results is a lot harder”:
Claire McCaskill on Dems/Ocasio-Cortez: "The rhetoric is cheap. Getting results is a lot harder."
On what GOP senators privately say about Trump: "The guy is nuts, he doesn't have a grasp of the issues, he's making rash decisions."

You see, according to McCaskill, the working class Ocasio-Cortez who did not campaign using a family member’s private jet, doesn’t get “white working class voters”:

“Woke Claire McCaskill,” or whatever this version is, is the best Claire McCaskill:

This really is a preview of 2020 and we’re ready for it:
Maybe McCaskill would understand Ocasio-Cortez if there was some corporate money requiring her to understand ?

the part of this interview where mccaskill talks about ocasio-cortez being out of touch w the white working class makes HER seem like the out of touch one. i assure you there‘s plenty of white working class people who’d support universal healthcare, UBI, etc (see sanders, bernie) https://t.co/Mbg1kapPbf
