AOC Condemns DNC Chair Contender as ‘Disease’
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez strongly criticized Rahm Emanuel’s potential DNC chair bid, citing his donor-focused approach as symptomatic of the Democratic Party’s internal struggles. Ocasio-Cortez argued that the party needs a grassroots organizer, contrasting Emanuel’s aggressive tactics with the need for genuine party building. This rebuke follows David Axelrod’s public endorsement of Emanuel, highlighting a significant intra-party divide. Emanuel, a veteran of three Democratic presidencies, is reportedly considering the position despite controversies during his ambassadorship to Japan. Other prominent Democrats are also reportedly eyeing the DNC chairmanship.
