Hey… maybe Marge Taylor Greene can just AOC’s “coalition”. Otherwise, I don’t know of any Trump voters who are eager to join up with the dimwitted communist Democrats and their so called coalition.
A new appeal from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to bring Trump voters into her political fold stands at odds with a record that includes sustained criticism of Trump supporters and numerous disputes with conservative activists and officials.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) posted a video this week in which she stated, “I want to say this right now. I fully welcome Trump voters into our coalition. And I know that sounds crazy to some people, but just hear me out.”
She detailed being approached by individuals who told her they had once been “a big Trump voter and Trump supporter” who “watched Fox News every day,” before later expanding their information sources.
According to her account, these individuals told her they “learned,” “changed,” and aligned more closely with her views over time. She also recounted meeting “really big Republicans now” who are surprised by her in person because “you are nothing like I was told you are,” adding that such moments can cause people to reconsider what “this one channel or this one ecosystem” had told them and spark “a longer journey of learning.”
While her recent message emphasized openness to Trump voters, Ocasio-Cortez has previously expressed unfavorable views of Trump supporters. In 2019, on Crooked Media’s “Pod Save America,” she remarked many Trump supporters were “not educated enough on racism” to see how certain policies operated, portraying Trump’s coalition as one in which “a core part… were racists” alongside others “susceptible to racist views.” She continued that some supporters “genuinely don’t believe that they are racist because we do not talk about or educate people on recognizing racism.”
