Socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently explained how the far left can copy her strategy for success, and it has nothing to do with convincing voters to support her bright “new” ideas.
Essentially, the woman Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez calls the “future” of the party wants to create new voters who align with her “progressive” politics – the same strategy union bosses have promoted for years.
A moderator at a recent Democracy Now! event asked Ocasio-Cortez to lay out how she managed to unseat Joe Crowley, chair of the house Democratic Caucus, during the primary for New York’s 14th congressional district, and here’s what she had to say.

“First of all, ICE is not (U.S. Customs and Border Protection). When we talk about abolishing ICE, we’re talking about ending family detention,” Ocasio-Cortez declared.
“We’re talking about ending an agency and ending a practice and a structure that is not accountable to the U.S. Department of Justice, that often takes on things that look a lot like enforcement activities,” she continued.
“So to have an enforcement agency that operates outside of the accountability of the Department of Justice, it’s no surprise to see the violations of civil and human rights that we’re seeing right now,” she prattled on.
Here’s the thing: ICE has never directly reported to the Department of Justice because it’s part of the Department of Homeland Security.
“DHS … reports to the Department of Justice. ICE is an investigative arm of DHS, which means that it concerns itself mostly with cases of human trafficking and possible terrorism, and those cases might have something to do with a border or they might not,” clarified The Daily Wire. – READ MORE
