Two weeks after former Chicago Mayor and Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her “snot-nosed punk” chief-of-staff Saikat Chakrabarti are destroying the Democratic party, Chakrabarti and AOC’s communications director Corbin Trent have abruptly resigned from the Congresswoman’s office, according to The Intercept.
“Saikat has decided to leave the office of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez to work with New Consensus to further develop plans for a Green New Deal,” according to Trent, who added “We are extraordinarily grateful for his service to advance a bold agenda and improve the lives of the people in NY-14. From his co-founding of Justice Democrats to his work on the Ocasio-Cortez campaign and in the official office, Saikat’s goal has always been to do whatever he can to help the larger progressive movement, and we look forward to continuing working with him to do just that”
The 33-year-old Chakrabarti – a Harvard graduate and former Bernie Sanders organizer in 2016 – made headlines in June when he compared moderate Democrats to Southern Democrat segregationists in a now-deleted tweet.
In response, the official House Democrats Twitter account (operated by the office of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)) slammed Chakrabarti after he tried to backpedal.
Last month, Chakrabarti also took heat for wearing a T-shirt featuring Nazi collaborator Subhas Chandra Bose.
In April, he came under fire for reportedly funneling over $1 million in political donations from two political action committees he founded into two of his own private companies. The allegation earned a campaign finance violation complaint with the Federal Election Commission, according to the Washington Examiner.
Chakrabarti founded a PAC called Brand New Congress in 2016, and another in 2017 called Justice Democrats which has the stated goal of helping to elect progressives to Congress.
Between 2016 and 2017 his PACs raised approximately $33 million – mostly from small donations, while the committees transferred over $1 million to two shell companies Chakrabarti controlled during the same time period. The shells were formed with similar names to the PACs; “Brand New Campaign LLC and Brand New Congress LLC” according to the Examiner report.
Lastly, AOC’s former right-hand-man revealed himself to be an opportunist when he said that her signature Green New Deal wasn’t actually about saving the environment – remarking to presidential candidate Jay Inslee’s climate director “it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all … we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”

To all the dumbass GOP ( Gay Old Pussy) bigots who love to drone on about the Aztecs, meet the people who REALLY hate you and, by the way, are MUCH richer ($$$) than you- that’s right, it’s “asians” ( Indians mostly) they are all here LEGALLY and they hate your WHITE ASS. The problem is not “illegal” immigration, it’s legal migration – these people will NEVER be Americans and they hate this country and us ( white people) but they really dig the $$$ and that whole “rule of law” thing, which they are rapidly dismantling (ironic, no?). Wake up YT, your country is already gone. YOU gave it away.
Most Indians in the US don’t hate whitey. The subject of this article might, but most don’t. And they don’t commit crimes or throw garbage on the ground or get drunk and rape their daughters or keep roosters – at least the ones who come to the US – who are the relatively smart ones. I’m sure there’s an army of imbeciles in India, but the ones in the US just lollygag through the park and go to Target.
His Indian background has bupkiss to do with his abandoning ol’ Crazy Eyes Horse Teeth and more to do with some hot water beginning to boil around him. How many millions from her campaign did he funnel into his own little fiefdom? The boy is a greedy little opportunist who rides the socialist bandwagon while filling his pockets with evil capitalist lucre. Just look at Bernie, the hardcore socialist millionaire who never held a real job in his entire life…very lucrative to suck off the public titty.
It’s socialism at work like a cancer , the trouble is that alleged wealthy conservatives and liberals alike have been benefiting for decades . From corporate welfare , special tax laws , contract set asides , government employee salaries and benefits from congress to paper pushers to AGW LEO’s all doing quite well financially while average working people’s wages circle the drain and benefits evaporate . Socialism works great for the parasites at the top as long as they don’t kill the masses of hosts being sucked dry!
Like the Amazon worker that will get a wage cut if they slow production because they stop to piss , go tell a GS# what ever that their out put dropped so they are being cut back a wage grade because they took a bathroom break
Now tell me who ginned up this socialist movement and why ?
AOC and her ilk are a result of government and corporate plunder of average working Americans
We are now reaping what we sowed as a nation
We all know that mooslim philosophy is incompatible with the American way of life.
Dothead-ism comes in a close second.
May Chakrabarti choke on a bag of dicks in his next endeavor.
They’re not big on head-lopping (which is good), but belief in reincarnation suppresses empathy because the reaction to anyone’s misfortune is that they must have been a real prick in their last life and if they don’t watch it, they’ll come back as a rat next time. We could probably use a little less empathy and a little more expectation that people fix their own problems. So I’m OK with the (non-Muslim) Indians, it’s the Pakis and Bangladeshis we need to keep out. It’s too bad most Indian women are fugly. Or maybe that’s good, too. They can stick to their own.
He has planted the seed and it has taken root, so he is off the plant the next seed. These Social Justice Democrats deserve to be watched. They are moving the democrat party further and further left at an amazingly rapid pace. They will be fielding far left candidates to challenge traditional democrats who are only left wing.
I don’t know how well it will work in a presidential election year, but they made some good progress in the off-year elections. I doubt any of the established congressmen will be caught off guard like AOC did to Crowley, but these SJD’s rely heavily on community organizers getting their message out door-to-door.
Chakrabati is a successful tech entrepreneur that has the commie disease like so many in the tech elite, wall street etc. Make a few bucks, feel guilty about it so they demand “economic/social justice” for everybody but themselves…..oddly they never seem to give up the big house, vacation home in the Hamptons, private jet travel (the only way to fly), the yacht and admittance to the most exclusive con-fabs….like Google’s climate summit occurring now.
If these asshats actually believed their own BS they would be adding 8-9 digits to their check to the IRS to give to Baltimore, the homeless, Head Start etc….that never ever happens….they just want you to write a bigger check!
So they are all frauds and conmen….fooling themselves as much as the rest of us. Applies to the ice cream eating oracle of Omaha or wherever fucktard Buffet is from also…he is a ruthless crony capitalist of the worst sort.
Sure culturally Indians are different but the non-commies are usually pretty good folks, I would rather have some high IQ curry eating dot heads than most immigrants……they are spectacular engineers.
This is the first step in getting rid of the squad. The C/S and chief of comms were probably handed to her as she got to the hill as most new congress toads couldn’t find and hire a c/s if their life depended on it. He and the comms guy were the conduit to introduce the new green deal and whatever else the establishment really wanted. She was the patsy……all the other drivel and dreck was media driven to insure they had something to write about the lazy schlubs. Additionally Nancy Drew the speaker of the house took omar the tent maker to Italy to do a meet and greet with the US Forces Africa (like both really needed the trip) which is probably a smokescreen to get omar out of the way and the limelight while la Princesca De Puerto Rico was deposed……If I were Tlaib or Massachusetts finest I’d be worried as their lifelines are gone and the rent is due……
The establishment no longer needs them….got it…..
PS One other thing…if you really think that she or anyone else in this Congress wrote the green deal effort you are as dumb as a box of rocks……
musket,
i believe that the comm director is her boyfriend–i remember that the b friend was put on her staff & their was a minor uproar about it,maybe they’re getting him out of there because of that–
Nope, boyfriend was/is some ginger haired white boy.
the pic is her chief of staff–
her b friend is white,i remember thinking how stupid the people in her district are bc they were voting ethnicity while she was dating outside that ethnicity–
