Surprise Queens congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday defended her defeated opponent , Rep. Joseph Crowley, after President Trump launched a personal attack on the veteran lawmaker.
“It is unacceptable to be disrespectful of Congressman Crowley,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN .
“He’s done some phenomenal, phenomenal work for the Bronx and Queens.”
She called Trump’s comments about the 10-term congressman and Queens Democratic Party boss “bizarre.”
Trump first attacked Crowley after he lost to the upstart Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old former organizer for Bernie Sanders, in Tuesday’s primary, oddly suggesting that Crowley lost because he wasn’t nice to the president.
“Wow! Big Trump Hater Congressman Joe Crowley, who many expected was going to take Nancy Pelosi’s place, just LOST his primary election. In other words, he’s out! That is a big one that nobody saw happening. Perhaps he should have been nicer, and more respectful, to his President!” Trump tweeted .
He also slammed Crowley’s appearance during a raucous rally in North Dakota on Wednesday night.
“A slovenly man named Joe Crowley got his ass kicked by a young woman who had a lot of energy,” Trump said.
“She had a lot of energy. I guess he didn’t see it. They couldn’t find him.”
Ocasio-Cortez told the network that she was “saddened and upset” at Trump’s uncivil remarks.
Referring to the special counsel’s investigation into Russian election meddling and possible collusion with Team Trump, she added that she thought there was sufficient evidence to kick the president out of the White House.
“Ultimately, what we need to focus on is ensuring that when people break the law, that we have to hold everyone accountable and that no person is above that law,” she said.
No surprise she wants Trump gone he's a major road block for her socialist agenda.
Yes Dean, America now has the income disparity of the most backward banana republics on earth, but our problem is 'socialism,' absolutely!
No surprise trump is attacking her, she is a woman that doesn't support his fascist agenda.
trump can bring anything around to him. I don't think I have ever seen narcissism at a level like this.

I started using some of Trump's made up words as passwords. I'm confident hackers won't be able to crack them. hahahahaha
Be careful those are all KGB secret code words.
Hmmmm...... I never thought of that. I could be caught up in the Russian sting. You'd like that I'm sure. lol
PJ rushing to change passwords before Dean can drop a dime
