"The Tunnel Dweller only attacks me because he knows he can't date me!"
HotAir "The NY Times published a new interview with AOC, which was pretty clearly prompted by a piece written by Freddie deBoer for NY Magazine last month. It was titled “AOC is just a regular old Democrat now.”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent appearance on the Pod Save America podcast had, for me, the feeling of a final disappointment, the kind that’s a little sad but brings a set of quixotic hopes to a close. AOC appeared on the popular Crooked Media show to announce her endorsement of Joe Biden for president in the 2024 election. To deliver that particular endorsement while appearing on that particular podcast — where former Obama-administration staffers define the limits of acceptable left-of-center opinion — was to send a very deliberate message. It was AOC’s last kiss-off to the radicals who had supported her, voted for her, donated to her campaign, and made her unusually famous in American politics, the beneficiary of a wholly unique cult of personality that is now starting to come
undone.
"When I wrote about that story I highlighted these images from 2018 when AOC was just an unknown candidate.
