Saikat Chakrabarti created AOC, she’s a puppet that he recruited because his group Justice Democrats had identified her district as one where they could install a radical leftist mouthpiece. She didn’t just wake up one morning and decide to quit bartending and run for Congress, she was recruited by Chakrabarti and tutored for her campaign. She really is as dumb as she seems and without smart handlers feeding her talking points she’ll have a hard go of it. She was picked because she’s Hispanic, sorta cute, and likes to talk. She surely wasn’t picked for her brain. If Chakrabarti has abandoned her she’s going to have a tough time of it.
