Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), the freshman Bronx lawmaker expected to win her re-election race by nearly 40 points, told The New York Times in an interview published Sunday that she tried to offer help to swing-district Democrats running for congress, but was turned down in nearly every case. In fact, Ocasio-Cortez suggested that she’s been unsuccessfully “begging the party to let me help them for two years.”
“Before the election, I offered to help every single swing district Democrat with their operation. And every single one of them, but five, refused my help,” declared Ocasio-Cortez. “And all five of the vulnerable or swing district people that I helped secured victory or are on a path to secure victory. And every single one that rejected my help is losing. And now they’re blaming us for their loss.”
