Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to establishment Democrats: ‘we’re in charge’

  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a message for the establishment Democrats (many of whom thought they would be able to get her under control once she got to Washington) and it is basically lead, follow, or get out of the way. And she also has made it pretty clear she does not believe the establishment can lead–at least on the issue of global warming.

  Here is what she had to say:

“If you don’t like the #GreenNewDeal, then come up with your own ambitious, on-scale proposal to address the global climate crisis,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a social media post.

“Until then, we’re in charge – and you’re just shouting from the cheap seats”

  Democrats had hoped that when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made it to Washington she would focus her anger and her ire on the Republicans but she made it to Washington by taking on the establishment Democrats and she has not let up since she was inaugurated.

  Right now the Democrats have no coherent strategy other than to oppose the President, if I were a Republican in Washington I would just sit back and let Ocasio-Cortez do her thing and watch the Democrats eat their own. That is what I intend to do and so far it has been quite entertaining.
