AOC rallies thousands in red America by blasting 'criminal' Trump

Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York headlined a “Fight Oligarchy” rally with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in one of the reddest states in the country on Monday night, attracting thousands of people.

The event attracted at least 12,500 people to the Ford Idaho Center in Nampa, Idaho, according to organizers. Idaho was the third-strongest state for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, where he won 66.9% of the vote to Democrat Kamala Harris’ 30.4%. Canyon County, where the Ocasio-Cortez/Sanders event was held, was even redder, with Trump winning 72.0% of the vote there.

But Ocasio-Cortez’s message received a raucous reception in the heart of Trump country.

“Donald Trump is a criminal who was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud. Liable for sexual abuse. Of course, he’s lying and abusing and manipulating the stock market too,” she said. “When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror.”

I voted for Harris and Hillary and they were both more experienced and qualified than AOC is. Not trying to stir the pot, just pointing out the facts. I think she'd make a great VP candidate...cuz she's honest and forthright and tough. But not POTUS....not yet.
