AOC Calls Out Wall Street CEOs Trying to Unseat Her In Upcoming Primary

[George II]

88. I wasn't talking about "business interests", I was talking about "billionaire hedge fund manager"...

...how do you differentiate that from "funded by Wall Street" (which is illegal, by the way)? It's interesting the different take people have on campaign funding for one candidate vs. another.

I'm not "stumping" for MCC, I'm just expressing my opinion on the primary, an opinion I've discussed with people I know who live and will vote in the 14th District today.

If you did any research on on MCC's positions on the issues you mention you'd see that they are different than you portray. If they were as you say I probably wouldn't look at her the way I do.

On the other hand, I certainly feel AT THIS TIME that she's better for the 14th District than the incumbent, who in one of her first votes last year voted against funding the government; essentially voting against thousands of her constituents and the largest employer in her District. Her rationale behind that vote was that it contained funding for ICE, which in fact it didn't. Had that funding bill failed thousands of workers at the largest employer in the district would have been laid off, along with hundreds of support workers in the district.

She also, a couple of weeks ago, voted against another stimulus package for Americans - the only Democrat who voted against it (she sided with four republicans who voted against it, too) The vote was 388-5, the 5 being her and four republicans.

It's votes like that and the fact that she seems more concerned about other parts of the country than her own district that has turned off many of the residents of the 14th.

She probably will win today, but hopefully the vote will cause her to be more attuned to her constituents.
