He writes, \u201cwith some suggesting she could be a 2028 contender for the party\u2019s presidential nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lemon suggests this is their response to their defeat in the 2024 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez \u201chas emerged as one of the Democrats many see to be pushing back in a way that resonates with the party\u2019s base,\u201d the editor writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He notes she has held massive rallies with [fellow communist] Bernie Sanders. He doesn\u2019t mention that the same thousands appear at every radical rally and protest. It\u2019s thousands, but it\u2019s still the minority in the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/topic\/cnn\">CNN<\/a> poll from March 6 to 9 showed that Ocasio-Cortez was the top politician among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents when asked which \u201cone person best reflects the core values\u201d of the party, Lemon wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile Ocasio-Cortez may be seen as best at representing the party\u2019s values, a poll carried out by Morning Consult from March 14 to 16 showed her in third place,\u201d with Harris and Buttigieg leading. She tied with anti-Tesla Tim Walz in Minnesota and fell behind the fellow who helped burn down California, Gavin Newsom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other polls had Harris ahead. The candidates who are leading are Marxists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AOC\u2019s Leading Role<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This follows a report by <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/5208462-ocasio-cortez-leadership-democrats\/\">The Hill<\/a> claiming she \u201cis positioning herself in a leading role among Democrats as discontent grows among the party\u2019s base in the second Trump era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOcasio-Cortez is on the road with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as part of their \u201cFighting Oligarchy\u201d tour aimed at rallying Democrats. The progressive congresswoman has also been one of the loudest critics of Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer\u2019s (D-N.Y.) decision to vote for a House GOP-drafted government funding bill last week, so much so that she\u2019s been floated as a potential primary challenger against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cfighting oligarchy\u201d tour? What kind of fresh Hell is this? Progressives set up a judicial oligarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cortez is \u201csomeone who could fill what critics say is a leadership vacuum within the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome of the most effective, strategic, and response leadership happening at this moment is coming from Rep. Ocasio-Cortez. And she\u2019s doing it better than many Democrats that we see nationally,\u201d said Abbas Alawieh. He is a senior progressive strategist. \u201cShe is reminding the party what real leadership that is responsive to the energy of movements actually looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Progressive\u2019 is the keyword here. The Progressives of the 1920s and of today are communists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sen. Chuck Schumer recently backed off from closing down the government because it would have hurt the party more than not. This became the impetus for the Marxist oligarchy fighters tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Town Halls and MSM<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hill article noted that \u201cangry constituents\u201d are showing up at town halls.

Ro Khanna, D-Calif, publicly urged Ocasio-Cortez to launch a primary challenge against Schumer in 2028 if he runs for re-election, and several House Democrats told NBC News that her colleagues also privately pushed her to do so at a party retreat last week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Peacock network mentioned the \u201cmassive crowds\u201d but failed to mention who the crowds represent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monica Crowley Weighs In<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Lisa Boothe asked Monica Crowley about Sandy Cortez\u2019s chances in a Fox News segment on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crowley said AOC has \u201ctremendous grassroots support.\u201d She was an \u201cearly adopter of social media\u201d and is constantly \u201cconnecting directly to voters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Crowley doesn\u2019t think she will change people\u2019s minds in 2028. \u201cThe lesson of this last 2024 election and Donald Trump\u2019s landslide mandate victory is that the country has had enough of the radical Left. It\u2019s had enough of socialism; it\u2019s had enough of cancel culture and wokeness. And it rejected roundly all of those things.
