In reply to the discussion: NY-SEN: Schumer quietly nails down the left amid AOC primary chatter [View all]Dem4Life1102
(3,974 posts)The allegation is that she is considering running against Schumer, thus the burden of proof is one the one making the allegation to prove it. To date, she has not made a single statement saying that she is thinking about running against Schumer. If she was accused of murder, would she have to prove she didn't do it or would the accuser have to prove that she did?
And yes the JD quote was qualified by the reporter. That doesn't change the fact that the JD spokesman never said anything about AOC in their statement. Nor did the reporter included the question asked in the column. So it is impossible to conclude that the JD spokesman's statement had anything to do with AOC.
Finally, I've never denied that the article is about AOC. So don't dishonestly put words in my mouth. From my first post all I've contended is that AOC has never said she is considering running against Schumer in a primary. Since no one has produce a single quote from her stating that she is, I stand by my argument. And the only way to prove me wrong is to actually produce a quote from AOC where she says that she is thinking about running against Schumer.
