AOC Backed Away from Sanders Campaign after Joe Rogan Endorsement [View all]
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) declined multiple pleas from the Bernie Sanders campaign to stump for the Vermont senators candidacy after the Iowa caucuses, according to HuffPost.
Ocasio-Cortez was heavily involved in the campaigns buildup to Iowa, headlining seven rallies for Sanders in Iowa over the weekend of January 24 to January 26.
But the progressive New York representative disagreed with the campaign over its decision to promote the endorsement of Joe Rogan, the popular podcaster who has been criticized by LGBT activists for opposing puberty blockers for gender-confused children. He has also spoken out against the participation of biological males competing in womens sports.
Faiz Shakir, Sanders campaign manager, also reportedly criticized Ocasio-Cortez for a polarizing speech in which she advocated for those in attendance to help illegal aliens to avoid ICE. She also failed to mention Sanderss name in the January 25th speech a fact highlighted by Fox News.
