Democratic Socialist darling, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is having a rough go of it today. Between a POLITICO poll that shows only 1 in 4 Americans wants ICE abolished, and her going after Rep. Joe Crowley (the guy she beat) it’s not been pretty.
But it’s all been Twitchy-worthy, God love her.
Sounds like trouble is Socialist-ville.
.@repjoecrowley stated on live TV that he would absolutely support my candidacy.
Instead, he’s stood me up for all 3 scheduled concession calls.
Now, he’s mounting a 3rd party challenge against me and the Democratic Party- and against the will of @NYWFP.https://t.co/Xvb6Jk8N8q

A third-party challenge?
Hrm. Wonder what a good little socialist does when challenged …
So much for “Born to Run.”
If you want to see me in Congress, we need your help now more than ever. We cannot underestimate the power of dark money.

Ooooh, that’s right. Dark money … ha ha ha ha ha.
They raise not-so-dark money.
Rep. Joe Crowley responded:
Alexandria, the race is over and Democrats need to come together. I’ve made my support for you clear and the fact that I’m not running. We’ve scheduled phone calls and your team has not followed through. I’d like to connect but I’m not willing to air grievances on Twitter. https://t.co/hxEeWEpI2O

RUN, JOE, RUN!

Independent run, Joe. You can still win this and crush their spirits.

Where Joe Crowley proves to @Ocasio2018 that he is the only adult in the room.https://t.co/Q4lA8PhGba

Not a great look for Alexandria.
Why is @Ocasio2018 smearing @repjoecrowley?
Does she think it's smart to antagonize him & his supporters and set up a ballot showdown w/ him in Nov when turnout will NOT be 7%?
Funny how winning a 3rd party line where one ISN'T running was worthy of celebration just yesterday. https://t.co/8uycA34GQ4

Joe went on further:
Lots questions about WFP line. Was honored to have their support. I’m not running. For record you can only be removed from the ballot if 1) you move out of NY; 2) die; 3) be convicted of a crime; 4) accept a nomination for another office (in a place I don’t live).

I don’t plan on moving out of New York, have a clean record, hope God’s will is that I don’t die, and won’t commit what I honestly believe to be election fraud. https://t.co/Cxk3s5zALi

So settle down, Alexandria.
Sheesh.
*snicker*
