Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her top aide hold majority control over Justice Democrats, a left-wing PAC waging open war on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other establishment Democrats, according to corporate filings obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Ocasio-Cortez and her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, obtained majority control of the political action committee in December 2017, TheDCNF reported Monday. Chakrabarti resigned from the Justice Democrats’ board in August 2018, Politico reported, and the PAC’s website no longer lists Ocasio-Cortez as a governor, but government documents show the two still hold majority control as of Wednesday afternoon.

Ocasio-Cortez’s role with the PAC, which was a driving force behind her stunning victory in 2018, may have violated campaign finance laws, two former Federal Election Commission (FEC) members told TheDCNF.

Continue with this story:

quote:

But there’s another aspect to the story: Justice Democrats has aggressively attacked Ocasio-Cortez’s more moderate Democratic colleagues at a time when the party is divided between establishment members and progressives pushing the party left.

Justice Democrats’ corporate filings indicate the group attacking senior Democrats isn’t just allied with Ocasio-Cortez but is also partially controlled by her as well.

Justice Democrats and Ocasio-Cortez staged a sit-in at Pelosi’s office in November 2018 shortly after the midterm elections.

It hadn’t been reported at that time that Ocasio-Cortez — at least on paper — controlled the group staging the protest in the California Democrat’s office.

Two months later, in January, Justice Democrats released a video showing Ocasio-Cortez discussing primary challenges with the group’s other leaders.

“We gotta primary folks,” Chakrabarti, who previously served as the PAC’s executive director, said in the video.

Justice Democrats spokesman Waleed Shahid told Politico in February: “There is going to be a war within the party. We are going to lean into it.”

Ocasio-Cortez has echoed the Justice Democrats line: She warned moderate Democrats on Feb. 28 that they were “putting themselves on a list”



That's a coup and she is no idiot.

She is what dems have always claimed to be. She just doesn't hide her Communism/Socialism. She is the product of years of Difi and Nancy being in charge of the party. Now, they can't handle their beast.

AOC is a birth right American, but she is as un-American as it gets. She should be shamed, ridiculed and confronted by folks on both sides of the aisle as what she supports are principles that are intended to ruin our democratic republic and economy.

Yes, the Democratic Party has finally removed the thinly disguised veil of liberal, progressivism that is the foundation of their party, but a move toward raw socialism and its policies is a move toward repeated failures and ultimate self destruction of their party. On second thought.....

No, she isn't dangerous Chicken Little.

She is a distraction from those in power plotting to remove Trump.

AOC is a stick that the MSM are chasing. Nothing more.

She will be the gift that keeps giving to Trumps reelection. She has an agenda that she believes in and will not try and fool the sheep with false flags. She is what she say she is, a socialist. I'd rather see the enemy in full light as to understand the war we are in.

I think that in their arrogance, they have played their hand far too soon. If they had took their time and picked up more seats by using the strategy of targeting overwhelmingly blue districts in another election or two they would be more formidable. As it stands, they have identified themselves as something the establishment dims must stamp out.

Tom Steyer was in a bar in NYC, she was the bartender that day. He liked the way she made his drink, so he asked her if she'd like to try something new. The rest is history. Or is her herstory?
