Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is offering words of warning to her congressional colleagues in the wake of a Democratic socialist sweep in New York City earlier this week. Ocasio-Cortez advised her fellow Democrats not to jump to conclusions about the newest members, warning them against creating an ‘antagonistic dynamic’ before the pair of newly-nominated officials can even walk the halls of Capitol Hill.

Socialist Wins in NYC

Darializa Avila Chevalier and State Assemblywoman Claire Valdez, both members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), made headlines earlier this week when they coasted to primary victories in three heavily blue districts with the endorsement of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Chevalier came under harsh criticism for previous social media posts in which she took aim at fellow Democrats, including former President Joe Biden, whom she called a ‘war criminal,’ and Vice President Kamala Harris, whom she offered a string of profanities toward.

Ocasio-Cortez offered a more understanding viewpoint when speaking with MS NOW’s Jen Psaki, stating that Chevalier has indicated regret over her previous statements and that the gravity and responsibility of being a duly elected member of Congress can have a profound impact on a person.
