The position puts her at odds with some on the left, such as Rep. Ro Khanna, another potential 2028 contender, who said he wants to find “common ground” with people like Greene.
In a conversation Friday at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics moderated by David Axelrod, the onetime political strategist to President Barack Obama, a student asked Ocasio-Cortez whether she stood by past remarks that there were “legitimate white supremacist sympathizers at the core of the House of Representatives caucus” and, if so, why she worked with some of them.
Ocasio-Cortez did stand by them and said she wasn’t scared of reaching across the aisle, holding up her work with Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn. But she set a clear boundary.
“I personally do not trust someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene, a proven bigot and antisemite, on the issue of what is good for Gazans and Israelis,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I don’t think it benefits our movement in that instance to align the left with white nationalists. I don’t think it serves us.”
I don’t agree at all, and think you are being played by the right wing/Israeli superfans.
You don’t get in bed with antisemites because the zionists conflated zionism with semitism. It’s not goddamn rocket science.
You’re literally falling for the same shit that communists did when they helped elect Hitler into power.
The fact you use that terminology makes me question your understanding. You do realize Arabs are semetic?
Yeah, no fuck. You got an actual argument or you just wanna point out obvious shit?

Edit: “Zionists conflated zionism with semitism” was a clever way of saying “zionists claim that criticizing zionism is antisemitic”.
