"Bernie's supporters have been very, very damaging to him, and it's really frustrating to see and experience. They don't realize how influential they are. It's frustrating to feel like they are hurting him," Ocasio-Cortez said in the midst of the 2020 primary, according to the book. "I feel like Warren is scooping up LGBT, progressives, women, and progressives of color because of how they isolate."
She also worried that the behavior of Sanders's supporters were "forcing an unnecessary choice between class analysis and race analysis" through their "behavior, not so much policy."
Ocasio-Cortez made those comments as she mulled whether to endorse Sanders's 2020 campaign, even though she had worked as an organizer on his 2016 campaign.

You're viewing a single thread.
But according to reporting in Ryan Grim's "The Squad: AOC and the Hope of a Political Revolution," the New York congresswoman thought the idea had a lot of merit — and that it was hurting Sanders' prospects.
I'm definitely not defending AOC, but I'd like to point out that this quote came from some shitty liberal journalist, and was later quote mined from fucking Business Insider.
Is Ryan Grim not considered reputable anymore?
I know he’s lib brained but I used to follow his Twitter during the election season for news from the progressives and never thought his reporting was bad in terms of accuracy.
I think that you said it, he's lib brained. I don't think he'd explicitly lie, but rather emphasise what fits his own bias. Who knows how seriously AOC took that comment in 2020.
