The party leadership is "driven by fear," declares Corbin Trent, the New York congresswoman's spokesman and a co-founder of Justice Democrats.
A spokesman for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has thrown down the political gauntlet with a declaration that the “greatest threat to mankind” is the “cowardice of the Democratic Party.”
Trent, a co-founder of Justice Democrats, which helped propel Ocasio-Cortez and her other progressives to victory in the House, told Grim that the Democratic leadership is “driven by fear. They seem to be unable to lead.” Ocasio-Cortez called support for the Senate bill an “abdication of power.” Rep. Ilhan Omar tweeted that a vote for the Senate bill was a “vote to keep kids in cages and terrorize immigrant communities.” And Rep. Rashida Tlaib challenged: “If you see the Senate bill as an option, then you don’t believe in basic human rights.”
