Socialists want a do-over for the insane 2020 positions they supported
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) wants her fellow progressives to receive amnesty for the insane policies and rhetoric they promoted during the 2020 pandemic because she knows those positions are anchors that will be hung around their necks in future elections.
TL;DR
- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is seeking amnesty for progressives' 2020 pandemic-era policies and rhetoric.
- She believes these past stances could negatively impact them in future elections.
- Ocasio-Cortez defended socialist state representative Francesca Hong, who previously supported abolishing prisons and policing.
- Hong now claims she no longer supports those positions.
- Ocasio-Cortez noted that the 'Overton window' expanded during COVID-19 and rhetoric from that time is not representative of current views.
