Democrat strategist Jessica Tarlov of The Five on Fox News is apparently Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s personal one-woman public relations representative. She’s been out pushing AOC’s imaginary transformation from Democratic socialist loon to reasonable ‘moderate’ Democrat. Tarlov is so convinced by the fake relaunch that she says she's done 'a 180 on AOC.’ Sure you have, Jess.
Here’s Tarlov acting like AOC is no longer woke. (WATCH)
Jessica Tarlov is pushing the AOC rebrand hard: "I've done a 180 on AOC."

"She left Woke 1 a long time ago."
So we've already moved to the 'AOC hasn't been woke in years' phase of the gaslighting campaign. History being rewritten at record pace here. https://t.co/AhIXo6H7k4 pic.twitter.com/OpCL6JfnxP
I guess the AOC rebranding talking points went out.

I can't take any of this serious.
It’s the same old AOC in a new wrapper.
Tarlov has been on this AOC rebranding mission for more than a week. Here she is with podcaster Scott Galloway days ago. (WATCH)
Jessica Tarlov claims AOC now is a "Moderate Dem" as compared to the "core DSA wing."
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) August 10, 2026
Scott Galloway agrees that this is a "fair point."
AOC is a member of NYC DSA.
The gaslighting levels coming in an attempt to rebrand AOC for 2028 are going to be stratospheric. pic.twitter.com/AYypbHSeZu
She's certainly gotten the talking point about woke 1 down

With radical DSA members taking over the Democrat Party, they have no choice but to lie to the public about who they really are and what they believe.

Posters fail to see this woke walkway that Tarlov keeps touring. Where is it?
"Left Woke 1".

1) What the hell does that mean?
2) When did that happen?
3) Why did she leave?
4) What about her old ways will she publicly reject? Name ONE THING. "All Cops Are bad" became "All ICE is bad" so that doesn't count.
Completely fatuous claim.
"She left Woke 1 a long time ago." —So she no longer supports boys in girls' sports? She doesn't support letting men in girls' lockers and bathrooms? She doesn't support DEI? She doesn't want the Green New Deal? No more windmills? Solar panels? No mandate for EVs? Uh huh. Sure. pic.twitter.com/OjGk3RzGd9

“left Woke 1” is meaningless. Articulate anything that she believed then that she doesn’t believe now. Pure gaslighting.

She hasn’t changed any positions for the better; in fact, one could argue she’s more radical than ever.
Commenters say many voters will swallow the ‘moderate conversion’ claptrap being spooned out by Tarlov and her ilk.
Peopke who don’t pay attention to politics until the presidential election won’t know any different. This is the message they will get, and without doing sny research of their own, they will have no reason to reject it.

AOC even being considered for a presidential run is an insult to the entire country. I'd rather vote for a sea urchin.

The Democrat Party’s presidential bench is not deep. They’re going to task their ‘journalists’ with rebranding and relaunching whoever they find riding the pine. Yes, it’s going to be insulting to the American people, but they have to run somebody no matter how unhinged and unqualified they are. Don’t be surprised if it’s AOC as a presidential contender or vice-presidential choice.
