(Daily Wire) Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appears to be in danger of losing some of her support among liberals with her decision to increasingly align herself with anti-liberal activist Linda Sarsour. The Democratic candidate’s rift with her liberal supporters really showed itself online on the first day of the chaotic Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, when Ocasio-Cortez held up Sarsour as a “woman putting it all on the line for healthcare, women & LGBT+ rights.”
Last [July], Ocasio-Cortez and Sarsour headlined the 16th Annual Universal Muslim Association of America, where the two took the stage to promote women’s rights and progressive values, despite the event being reportedly segregated and the women who attended almost uniformly wearing hijabs. About a [month] after the event, Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to praise Sarsour after she got herself arrested for interrupting the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings Monday.
