.AOC throws her support to Bernie Sanders at his first rally since his heart attack by blrshepherd & realchriswilson
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez officially announced her backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders for president on Saturday, calling him an inspiration for her own grassroots campaign.
Ocasio-Cortez introduced Sanders as her “tio” , and he emerged to AC/DC’s “Back in Black.” The New York City legislator was the last in a long series of speakers tasked with giving their official stamp of approval to Sanders, who is recovering from a recent heart attack. Critics have called into question the vitality of his campaign, once again bringing the touchy question of age and fitness to the center of the primary debate.
Moore added: “The only heart attack we should be talking about is the one Wall Street is going to have when Bernie Sanders is president of the United States.” Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders are both self-described democratic socialists. Ocasio-Cortez, who now represents parts of Queens and the Bronx, was an organizer for Sanders’s run for the Democratic nomination in 2016 before launching her own insurgent campaign for the House in 2018.
“The AOC endorsement is a cherry on top,” said Matt Firovonti, who traveled from Allentown, Pa., to attend the rally, “but I was planning on coming here regardless,” adding that the endorsement provides momentum to the Sanders campaign.
