As Twitchy told you yesterday, longshot Democratic presidential hopeful John Delaney was booed at the California Democratic Convention for daring to point out that Medicare for All is hot garbage.

Naturally, shrinking violet Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez couldn’t wait to get in on the pile-on action:
Since there’s so many people running for President (& not enough for Senate), instead of obsessing over who‘s a “frontrunner,” maybe we can start w some general eliminations.
This awful, untrue line got boo’ed for a full minute.
John Delaney, thank you but please sashay away ?? https://t.co/0RDOwbfcgv

✅ Medicare for All IS sound policy – one may disagree w/ it, but plenty of other countries have single payer + better outcomes than the US
✅ M4A IS good politics – it polls VERY well in swing states
✅ “Third-Way” (aka lobbyist-backed Dems) WILL lose the presidency to Trump— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 2, 2019
Somebody sure has a high opinion of herself and her clout.

Offer up legitimate criticism of AOC and she’ll accuse you of trying to silence a stunning and brave woman of color. But she can condescendingly crap on anyone she wants to and that’s perfectly OK.
My favorite thing to watch is AOC goons just completely turn on a person every time she tweets criticism of that person… We are 4 tweets away from watching them do that to Nancy Pelosi

AOC’s certainly got plenty of mindless minions who are cheering on her self-righteous, b*tchy queen bee act:

Sick and tired of has-been Democrats trying to desperately cling to the party of yesterday by taking an ax to anything progressive. The future is here. The "we can't afford nice things" caucus needs to shut up and go home before they depress turnout and get Trump re-elected.

Another example of a politician telling the people what he thinks is good for them rather than listen to what the people want. Delaney just took himself out of the race. Adios Amigo.

Hey, just because he’s been running forever and no one wants to vote for him and everyone is booing him all the time doesn’t mean he can’t be President

honestly the way you blend policy and RuPaul’s Drag Race is, quite literally, art ?

AOC is the future.
3rd way Democrats are the past.— ?Thomas?ThirdEye? (@pavone120) June 3, 2019
But not everyone’s impressed with AOC’s tough-girl act. Even some lefties are getting tired of her schtick:
That’s the problem with the socialists. It’s their way or the highway. Not logical or pragmatic. His point was spot on.

She is a divider.

This "Sashay away" teenage pettiness is too much. It's befitting the Instagram Influencer she is and not the adult her constituents need.

@JohnDelaney served Maryland's 6th district for six years, you disrespectful child. He won three elections, and served on Financial Services. He has one of the highest bipartisan records.
Six months in office and what have you done to show for it? A documentary.
— The Speaker’s Dragonzord (@PelosiSquadFive) June 2, 2019
Ouch.
She hasn’t learned much. I find her and trump to exhibit the same childish behavior.
— Jenny Haines (@JennyHaines8) June 3, 2019
Because she is Lady Trump. The leftist Resisters hitching themselves to her wagon are just as bad as the die-hard, kneejerk Trump apologists.
AOC goons = Trumpist goons just with like purple hair

Where Trump’s Trumpiness seemed to rally supporters to his cause, though, AOC’s AOC-ness only seems to be fracturing the Democratic Party. And you know what? We’re OK with that. Unlike AOC’s B.S., watching the Left devour itself never gets old.
