The only thing 'handing elections to republicans is the effort to divide Democrats among themselves, like this bogus attempt to make AOC own the BLM slogan.
There's not ONE mention of the substance of AOC's remarks, just the dig at her for daring to say the word 'defund.' Are we supposed to see this demagoguery against her as some kind of political genius? It's dirt dumb to keep nattering on about it, but it's obviously part of a broader agenda than just 'supporting Democrats.' It's divisive, right from the start to misappropriate the BLM slogan, but even further counterproductive to make it into the worst of whatever republicans say it means.
I can't think of a weaker, more navel-gazing approach to politics than this effort.
