AOC does not like what Vivek Ramaswamy is telling the American people.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) continued to push the Democrats’ narrative that the GOP presidential ticket is “strange,” despite criticism from former GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Ramaswamy dismissed this characterization as “dumb” and “juvenile,” arguing that it detracts from serious policy discussions.
Ocasio-Cortez took to X to defend her party’s position, stating, “Obsessively focusing on controlling women’s choices, constantly monitoring LGBTQ+ individuals, and penalizing those without children is simply bizarre. It’s like an incel platform—super strange, and people should be aware of it.”
Ramaswamy responded to Ocasio-Cortez’s comments, criticizing the Democrats for their approach. In a post on X, he said, “Labeling someone as ‘weird’ is not a valid critique in a presidential election. This isn’t a popularity contest; it’s about governance. It’s also ironic that the party that champions ‘diversity and inclusion’ resorts to such petty tactics. If Democrats want to win, they should focus on policy rather than resorting to name-calling.”
The controversy surrounding Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who is a potential running mate for former President Trump, has intensified. Vance has faced criticism for past comments, including a controversial statement about the influence of “childless cat ladies” on politics and his support for higher taxes on individuals without children.
Democrats have seized this opportunity to criticize Vance. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) remarked that Trump’s selection of Vance as a running mate could be beneficial for Democrats. Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) echoed this sentiment, suggesting on X that various GOP policies and proposals are “weird,” including assigning extra votes based on family size and government interference in personal matters.
Despite the attacks, Vance appeared unphased in a recent Fox News interview. He remarked, “No, it doesn’t bother me at all. When you’re serving the public, you should expect attacks from the opposition. I see it as part of the job and an honor to represent the people.”
