Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's "squad" could get a lot bigger with the wave of female congressional candidates she endorsed on Friday.
The socialist surprised many by defeating Rep. Joe Crowley, a high-ranking incumbent, in a primary race in New York in 2018. Now, she’s looking to find more women to follow in her footsteps to replace centrist incumbents with younger, more liberal candidates.
After teasing a "big announcement" late Thursday, the 30-year-old congresswoman revealed the slate of candidates she is supporting with her political action committee Courage to Change as they primary Democratic incumbents throughout the United States. Ocasio-Cortez also revealed she is backing a few liberal candidates who are facing off against establishment picks for races that do not have a Democratic incumbent, such as the Senate race in Texas.

I am a woman and a Democrat. I will not support any candidate endorsed by AOC or that hate-filled cohort.
soon
AOC will be back at the bar doing lap dances for old men
her political career will be gone
Her days as congresswoman are numbered.
AOC endorsement and 10.00 dollars will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Is the amount correct - $10.00.😂😂😂
