STOP IT JOE! This is not how you get votes…
Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) praised far-left freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) during a CNN interview that aired Friday, describing her as a “brilliant, bright woman.”
While he hit a range of subjects during the exhaustive interview, he praised the Democrat socialist lawmaker, despite marketing himself as a moderate Democrat.
“That’s what this election is about. I’m happy to debate that issue and all those issues with my friends because guess what, look who won the races. Look who won last time out,” Biden said, referring to the extreme left’s victories in the midterm election.
Ocasio-Cortez beat incumbent former Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-NY) by a little more than 4,000 votes – 15,897 to Crowley’s 11,761.
However, Biden still maintained that a moderate Democrat will stand a better chance of beating President Trump in the general election.
“By the way, I think Ocasio-Cortez is a brilliant, bright woman, but she won a primary,” Biden continued. “In the general election fights, who won? Mainstream Democrats who are very progressive on social issues and very strong on education and healthcare”:

Despite Biden’s vast attempts to present himself as a moderate, he still holds what many would consider “extreme” positions. He supports government gun confiscation and explained his position during the first debate: “Folks, look, and I would buy back [assault] weapons. We already started talking about that. We tried to get it done. I think it can be done. And it should be demanded that we do it. And that’s a good expenditure of money.”
He also flip-flopped on the Hyde Amendment and now supports the use of federal dollars for abortion procedures.
“Folks, times have changed. I don’t think these guys are going to let up,” he said at the IWillVote Gala last month.
Notably, Ocasio-Cortez dismissed Biden’s climate change proposal, instead calling Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s (D) proposal the “Gold Standard.”
“Scientifically, anything that is less than helping us cut carbon emissions in half by 2030 is going to be too late,” she said, according to the Hill.
Biden’s plan aims to eliminate fossil fuel usage by 2050.

Biden,
You’re a disgrace to the American race.
Are you going to molest her too?
Even though, I can’t stand her, you two make a great couple of Nuts
You’re so desperate to get votes that you’ve forgotten of what you said in the 70’s about “Segregation”.
Give it up, you’re Not going to win.
Mary: You can say that again!!
the 3 – Ring circus has come to town. Clowns to the right of us Jokers to the left here we are Smack in the middle…!!! But Trump is the Ring Master… Bring on the next act…!!!!!!!!!!!
We must remember that the “Green New Deal” did not get ANY votes in the Senate and would likely not do much better in the House. AOC is far out in left field and many of the present crop of candidates have joined her there. It is a losing strategy. Calling for free health care for illegals is also a big loser. We the People do not want that or all the other “free” crap that we would have to pay through the nose for.
Give it up Joe. We are not giving up our guns, abortion is murder and our money should NOT be used to fund them. Women can use their own money but taxpayers should NOT be forced to pay for something they don’t believe in. And YOU should no be running for president. You are not qualified and you don’t care about Americans.
