Hey, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, when you’re finished eating your big fat socialist victory cake, you’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do:
Notice the guy behind her, in the purple shirt? It's Thomas Lopez-Pierre, Mark Levine's primary challenger from last year who called for the defeat of the "greedy Jewish landlords" as his primary issue. Disgusting. @MarkLevineNYC @Ocasio2018 pic.twitter.com/9lDpyPDKKf

The guy behind Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is Thomas Lopez-Pierre, (circled) he ran for NYC Council last year against a Jewish Councilman, his campaign platform was to defeat the "greedy Jewish landlords.” https://t.co/FJ9EGBWbob

Welp.
Looks the guy behind Ocasio-Cortez at her victory party was a notorious local anti-Semitic politician. Oops! https://t.co/USMCdDFNpW

Yeah … he wasn’t just at her party:
looks like he volunteered for her campaign as well pic.twitter.com/UnikePYoni

https://t.co/Gm7u6xVegw well it appears he campaigned for her as well as repeated the greedy landlords line (without mentioning Jewish). Hmm ?

Ooof.
These are direct screenshots from Mr. Lopez-Pierre's campaign website and YouTube. It seems he's been closely allied with her campaign and views her as closely aligned with his agenda of bigotry. pic.twitter.com/l4rodvwvsi

Might be time to cut ties now, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez.
I've been asked repeatedly why I've never covered this guy who runs regular anti-Semitic campaigns for NY city council. I've said it's because he's irrelevant. Apparently not so much anymore. I hope the @Ocasio2018 campaign kicks him to the curb ASAP. https://t.co/JNg9XEFIvN

Update:
Apparently, Mr. "Fight Greedy Jewish Landlords" was a volunteer for the @Ocasio2018 campaign. Obviously a campaign so small-scale can't vet everyone involved, but they should clearly reject this bigot today. A good example to set on the morning after the victory. https://t.co/eOlcag19rn

Today I spent 8 hours handing out 1,000+ campaign flyers for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @Ocasio2018 in the Bronx. Alexandria will help protect tenants from “Greedy Landlords” and reject corporate political campaign contributions. @repjoecrowley is a @realDonaldTrump Democrat. pic.twitter.com/pT3fMuIwoI

Yeesh.
