Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was well on her way as the new rising Democratic Socialist superstar until she stepped on a rake with a recent photo.
The left’s new media darling ousted 10-term incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley in New York’s 14th congressional district last month and some believed she quickly became the new face of the Democratic Party.
But the 28-year-old apparently missed the news on the “righteous anger” from Hillary Clinton supporters who have blacklisted actress Susan Sarandon for daring to say Clinton was more dangerous than President Trump during the 2016 election campaign.
A photo of the 71-year-old actress and activist alongside Ocasio-Cortez raised the liberal alarm.
Ummmmmmm……… yeah, just lost all support. pic.twitter.com/kNsPbEy9sC

Clinton supporters are still burned up about Sarandon’s refusal to vote for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election and her criticism of the Democratic nominee. The actress, who supported Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primary race, came under fire for voting for Green Party candidate Jill Stein instead of Clinton, and suggesting others do the same.
Clinton’s fans never forgave Sarandon.
And they don’t appear to be cutting Ocasio-Cortez any slack for associating with the enemy.
Well, at least she stopped pretending and showed us who she really is….like sarandon did in 2016. FOH.

That was my concern about her…..she’s a Bernie Bro. But to flaunt it? I’m done.

I worked really hard to be fair and give her a chance. She’s probably better than the repub candidate…i assume….but i will not give one penny or postcard or any effort for her. Fk susan and her minions.

Why is she posing with the woman who gave us Trump?

NOT a good look, @Ocasio2018
Neither Bernie nor Susan have been forgiven for handing the WH to tRump after LOSING the primary in your district. NYC does NOT forget.

The right didn’t force her into a photo op. Ocasio needs to know this history– there is righteous anger among those who listened to #susansarandon malicious propaganda against HRC. If Ocasio wants to UNITE, she can do it with DEMOCRATS, not propagandists. Her choice.

100% right. I wonder if she knows that the Stein/Sarandon crowd is being egged on and manipulated by Russian online operatives and other far-right groups who want to split the Democrats? Repeat of 2016.

Big mistake @Ocasio2018 ! We need to hear you say you disagree with her on the “Hillary is more dangerous than Trump” issue. It’s one thing to have supported Bernie. It’s another altogether to align yourself with Susan. (Former huge fan of Susan Sarandon.)

I knew there was something about her I didn’t like. This clarified it!
