As part of a wave of reaction to comments made by former President Barack Obama who reportedly suggested to “liberal wealthy” party donors late last week that some Democrats were going “too far left”. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded by saying progressives are not pushing in some new, radical direction but rather trying to bring it back to where it came from.
I want to be the party of the New Deal again.
The party of the Civil Rights Act,
the one that electrified this nation and fights for all people.For that, many would call us radical.
But we aren’t “pushing the party left,”
we are bringing the party home.pic.twitter.com/wLeDaxCHkZ— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) November 17, 2019
