Glenn Greenwald slams AOC as ‘unprincipled, craven, partisan apparatchik’
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has been back in the headlines after engaging in interviews with comedian Ilana Glazer and Democratic political operative David Axelrod, in which she revealed more of her worldview. Unsurprisingly, it’s a far-left worldview, and one that a great many Americans will — and should — object to. But I want to especially highlight some harsh criticism she reserved for Republican former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
One might expect AOC to find some common cause with MTG, now a fairly heretical MAGA Republican. MTG has broken with President Trump on any number of issues, including ones supposedly near and dear to the left’s heart. She has criticized Israel in no uncertain terms, lamented the suffering of the people in Gaza, and actually voted to cut off support for foreign wars.
Yet here was how AOC responded to a question about whether she would work with MTG.
MTG countered that AOC “refused to vote for my amendment to strip funding for Israel. She can run her mouth all she wants but votes are the only thing that matters, not a bunch of words and nasty name calling.”
AOC’s stance also drew criticism from Glenn Greenwald, an eclectic leftist who is absolutely against the Democratic establishment and the Trump administration on foreign policy hawkishness.........
