Wait, what? Even the Squad should take issue with Andrea Mitchell's attempt to defend them from Republicans [video]

Let’s just preface this post with a reminder that Andrea Mitchell gets paid to know what the hell she’s talking about.

Keep that in mind when you consider what she said today about the Squad of AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley:

Andrea Mitchell just said on MSNBC that none of the squad are socialists and that she doesn’t “know where that is coming from,” that it’s a “Republican talking point.” Never mind that AOC said capitalism is irredeemable and that socialism is the answer.

This is not a drill:

Even the Squad would beg to differ with that.

AOC isn't a socialist ?

She calls herself a Democratic Socialist.

Just because Ocasio-Cortez actually calls herself a democratic socialist is no reason to think she's a socialist. Oh, wait… https://t.co/PXq8XRvOC8

For the record, @mitchellreports, AOC is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Here's how Vox describes DSA. pic.twitter.com/3CQXCqQMxo
