Steve Schmidt of the Lincoln Project Reaches Out to AOC

[Escurumbele]

165. I think you are right, he most probably even connected with her before sending the tweets

and let her know that he would.

Yes, we all must unite. I have heard many at DU say they don't trust "Lincoln Project" that once the elections were done they would become what they have always been, republicans. And I have to agree with that statement to some extent, but the reality is that at this time, whether we differ in our politics, there is one clear goal that unite us, and that is to preserve Democracy, and to get rid of those who intend to destroy it.

I particularly find AOC a big asset to the Democratic party, but I also understand that she is young and she needs to pick her fights in a more political stance, one where she expresses her thoughts as she did when she responded to the abuse of those two republicans when they insulted her, that was poetic, and to know when to criticize her own and not do it in public but instead find the moment to talk to them directly and in private. I have a feeling that Biden or Harris would welcome a visit from her.

But...also at DU, we should not bash one of our own as I have seen people in DU bash AOC. even yesterday, and I cannot recall what the topic was on one post, but it definitely did not have anything to do with AOC, but that did not stop someone to take the opportunity to take a shot at her. That also needs to stop, she is one of us, and she is damn good.
