Dem Rep Backed By Ocasio-Cortez Taunts GOP Calling Dems Socialists: ‘Get Over It’

A Democrat headed to Congress who received the first primary opponent endorsement from leftist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) mocked Republicans who have accused Democrats of being socialists, taunting, “Get over it.”

Ocasio-Cortez said of Marie Newman, “Marie Newman is a textbook example of one of the ways that we could be better as a party — to come from a deep blue seat and to be championing all the issues we need to be championing.”
