AOC says Rep. Ilhan Omar facing tough primary challenge because she's 'damn effective'

'Because when you speak truth to power, power fights back,' Ocasio-Cortez said

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., argued that fellow “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar is facing a competitive primary challenge because she is “damn effective” against big money interests.

The freshman Democrat from Minnesota is facing a primary challenge from Antone Melton-Meaux, a Black Minneapolis lawyer who labels himself a “progressive, lifelong Democrat.” Melton-Meaux nearly doubled Omar in campaign funding, reporting $2 million in his campaign coffers at the end of June, as opposed to Omar’s $1.1 million cash on hand.

In a live-streamed “day of action” Sunday, Ocasio-Cortez admitted it was unusual to have such a well-funded primary in a heavily blue district such as Omar’s.

She said funders “usually like to get a bang for their buck” and typically contribute to races that have a chance of tipping a seat from one party to the other.

It would be hilarious if she loses because she is talentless other than division. Her lifestyle requires a million a year so good chance being a Paid activist doesn’t pay that. She could be a paid informant for the fbi. I have a feeling she has a lot to tell them.

Delusional. AOC would make a good intern to take over a dictatorship and I personally think she should request to be the first human on Mars to practice.
