Socialist Who Ran on Abolishing ICE Blew Out Democrat Hoping to Beat Pelosi s Next House Speaker in Jaw-Dropping Upset
27th June 2018
Incumbent New York Democratic Rep. Joseph Crowley, the fourth most powerful Democrat in the House, lost to his Democratic Socialist challenger Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the New York primary on Tuesday.
Crowley lost with 42.4 percent of the vote to Ocasio-Cortez’s 57.6 percent of the vote with 88 percent of precincts reporting, according to a New York Times report.
Ocasio-Cortez, who is 28 years old, ran on a progressive platform of Medicare for all, a federal jobs guarantee and abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to her campaign site. Cortez is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and she praised the DSA, saying that she is “so honored to have their endorsement” in a June 4 tweet.
Apparently Democrats think that the way back to power is to run to the Left. Good luck with that.
UPDATE: Loser Joe Crowley: “I can’t help that I was born white”
No, but it’s your mistake to be a Democrat.
Steve Sailer’s take: Rep. Joe Crowley (D-San Juan Norte), Retire In Peace
The fourth ranking House Democrat Joe Crowley lost badly in his primary to a 28 year old Puerto Rican socialist lady who wants open borders and free handouts, which sound like quite a combination. (After all, open borders and generous welfare have worked so many wonders for Puerto Rico that practically nobody lives there anymore. So let’s extend the PR Plan to the 50 states. But do we Americans have somewhere else to go the way Puerto Ricans have Orlando? I should check into that …)
But wait, there’s more: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 28-year-old socialist Latina woman from Bronx hailed ‘future of Democrats’ after primary defeat of Joe Crowley
The message here appears to be that there is no future for white men in the Democrat Party. Let’s see how that plays out.
