AOC will says anything won’t she?

At the Democratic National Convention’s opening night, Democratic New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delivered a scathing critique of former President Donald Trump while championing Vice President Kamala Harris’ commitment to working-class Americans. The convention, held in Chicago, saw several prominent Democrats, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, take the stage to rally support.

Ocasio-Cortez, known for her progressive stance, praised Harris as a dedicated advocate for a brighter future for working families. Harris made an unexpected appearance before President Joe Biden’s anticipated keynote address, adding to the event’s energy. Ocasio-Cortez urged the audience to support Harris, declaring, “Chicago, we have to help her win,” and criticized Trump for allegedly prioritizing personal gain over national interests. She accused Trump of being more concerned with enriching himself and his Wall Street allies than with the needs of everyday Americans.

AOC’s attack on Trump became so aggressive she even went as far as warning voters that “Donald Trump would sell this country for a dollar.”

The congresswoman expressed frustration with Trump’s perceived hypocrisy, asserting that true patriotism involves fighting for all citizens, not just the wealthy and big business. Ocasio-Cortez also showed strong support for Harris, especially after Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 race. On the day Harris announced her presidential bid, Ocasio-Cortez took to social media to offer her full support, emphasizing that backing Trump’s reelection would equate to endorsing “fascism.”

Despite her previous support for Biden, Ocasio-Cortez remained steadfast in her commitment to Harris after Biden’s exit from the race. She had previously defended Biden against critics within the party, maintaining that he was the rightful Democratic nominee. However, with Biden out of the race, Ocasio-Cortez focused on rallying behind Harris, praising her as a representative of the middle class and emphasizing Harris’ economic priorities, which include tackling price gouging and making housing more affordable.

The DNC also faced controversy over the conflict in Gaza, with progressive Democrats pushing for a ceasefire and criticizing the Biden administration’s support for Israel. Ocasio-Cortez, a vocal critic of Israel’s actions in Gaza, acknowledged the divide but emphasized Harris’ efforts to secure a ceasefire and address the humanitarian crisis.

Overall, Ocasio-Cortez’s speech underscored the Democrats’ focus on supporting Harris’ bid and addressing critical issues facing the nation, while sharply contrasting her vision with that of former President Trump.
