Socialist whore AOC shares picture glowering at Joe Manchin after 'crazy socialist agenda' tweet

WASHINGTON — NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez clapped back at 
fellow Democratic lawmaker Rep. Joe Manchin of West Virginia 
after he said he did not support defunding the police — tweeting 
an image of her glowering at him at the State of the Union.

The Bronx-born socialist expressed her displeasure on Thursday 
at an earlier tweet from Manchin, a centrist, who attacked the 
party’s noisy left flank as hand-wringing continues over the 
party’s poor 2020 showing.

“Defund the police? Defund, my butt. I’m a proud West Virginia 
Democrat. We are the party of working men and women. We want to 
protect Americans’ jobs & healthcare. We do not have some crazy 
socialist agenda, and we do not believe in defunding the 
police,” he wrote.

Ocasio-Cortez’s (D. Bronx) response to her colleague’s tweet 
notched more than 200,000 likes by Thursday afternoon and 
prompted progressive group the Sunrise Movement to start a 
petition to “Defund Joe Manchin’s butt.”

The Democratic Party is in the throes of a full-blown civil war 
following last week’s presidential race which Joe Biden won but 
saw Democrats’ majority in the House eroded and their dreams of 
recapturing the Senate dashed.

In a caucus call last week, Rep. Abigail Spanberger [D-Va.], who 
narrowly won reelection, implored her colleagues to “not ever 
use the word ‘socialist’ or ‘socialism’ ever again.”

“We lost good members because of that,” she said.

Democratic stalwart and Majority Whip Rep. Jim Clyburn [D-S.C.] 
has also warned about the dangers of “sloganeering” and said 
calls to “defund the police” had hurt Democratic candidates.

Meanwhile, New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries reportedly took a 
veiled shot at his progressive colleagues on another call, 
quipping: “Do we want to win, do we want to govern, or do we 
want to be internet celebrities?”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi [D. Calif] has avoided entering the 
fray as rumors swirl that some members of the Democratic caucus 
want to oust the 80-year-old over their abysmal 2020 showing.

But the party’s progressive wing, led by Ocasio-Cortez and 
fellow “Squad” members Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and 
Ayanna Pressley, have shot back — accusing Democratic leadership 
of resting on their laurels and failing to organize at the 
grassroots level.

In a post-mortem released Tuesday, progressive groups like the 
Sunrise Movement charged that it was “unforced errors” like 
Pelosi’s ice-cream stunt at the peak of the pandemic which cost 
them those half dozen seats.

“When Democratic leaders make unforced errors like showing off 
two sub-zero freezers full of ice cream on national television 
or cozy up with Wall Street executives and corporate lobbyists 
while Trump tells voters we are the party of the swamp, it is 
not surprising that we lose,” they wrote.
