AOC PUSHES BACK ON BLAMING PROGRESSIVES FOR DEMOCRATIC HOUSE LOSSESOne of those elected last week in Ocasio-Cortez’s home state is Congressman-elect Mondaire Jones, D-N.Y. Along with "Medicare-for-all" and the Green New Deal, he has backed calls to partially defund police departments, along with the abolition of cash bail. She also raised eyebrows with a proposal to fund social services by defunding not just the police, as her progressive Democratic colleagues have suggested, but the military. “If you're having a bad day, just think of all the social services we're going to fund after we defund the Pentagon,” she tweeted in October. “So the whole 'progressivism is bad' argument just doesn’t have any compelling evidence that I’ve seen,” she tweeted in a lengthy defense.
