John,
Claire McCaskill went on MSNBC last night to blame progressives for Democratic leadership’s failure that resulted in Democrats losing House seats.
McCaskill said, “Whether you are talking guns or...abortion...or gay marriage and rights for 'transexuals' and other people who we as a party 'look after' and make sure they are treated fairly. As we circled the issues we left voters behind and Republicans dove in."
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded to McCaskill’s offensive and ignorant remarks by saying:
People like Claire McCaskill are not the future of the Democratic Party. She doesn’t represent our values or believe in the diverse, working-class movement we’re building to bring people together from coast to coast to fight for change.
Thank you for supporting our movement to transform the Democratic Party from the inside out. We’ll continue to elect leaders like AOC, Jamaal Bowman, and Cori Bush.
More soon,
Justice Democrats
