Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., criticized members of her own party for closing ranks around former President Joe Biden. In a podcast interview, Ocasio-Cortez argued that some Democrats who were aggressive about pushing their narrative about Biden were also the ones who closed the primary process when there was a chance to have one in the presidential election.

Ocasio-Cortez stated that Democrats were compensating and that calling on Biden to drop out became a litmus test within the party. She also mentioned that some Democrats who backed Biden when it was time to step down used it as a litmus test.
Therapist Jonathan Alter said that Democratic voters may lose faith in their party when they perceive hypocrisy. Alter told Fox News Digital that people can forgive mistakes, but they are less forgiving when they believe one set of rules applies to political opponents and another applies to those in power.
