Dem Rep. Casar on AOC as Potential Contender for President: ‘The Sky Is the Limit’
EXCERPT:
CASAR: “I think the sky is the limit for Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and she will be making her own decisions about whether she stays in the House or runs for anything else in the future, but what I think is so important, that we should all be taking a look at, is how a congresswoman, you know, just a member of the House, continues to be able to speak to so many millions of people all across the country. And for too long, I think, in the House, we just had his view that whoever’s been there the longest should be the first person in line. When, instead, I think, as a Democratic Party, we should be looking to messengers like Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez that could speak to millions of people. And we shouldn’t try to avoid controversy. Donald Trump certainly doesn’t avoid controversy. We should be willing to take strong stance to get people talking about who the Democrats really are, so that the Republicans don’t fill the void talking about us. I think we should be going right after guys like Elon Musk, but Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, too. We should stop acting like these billionaires are friends of the working person. Trump, Musk, Bezos, all of them should be the folks that the Democratic Party is standing up against, so that way people know that we’re actually for them.”
