Is AOC about to get a taste of her own medicine?
The Democratic diva and self-proclaimed ‘Democratic Socialist’ has been out campaigning for Bernie Sanders in recent weeks as one of his top surrogates. But back home, a challenge is brewing, as Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, a popular anchor on CNBC, has filed paperwork to challenge the 29-year-old lawmaker during this year’s Democratic Primary.
Being a member of the House, AOC is obligated to defend her seat every two years. She famously knocked out Joe Crowley, the chairman of the Queens Democratic Committee and a leader in the House Democratic caucus, during a 2018 upset primary win.
MCC made the announcement on CNBC, the channel where she has worked for years. In a brief statement, she cited her Italian and Cuban heritage and longstanding roots to the Bronx and Queens district that AOC currently represents, and where MCC also lives.
One anchor on CNBC joked that viewers were calling the race the ‘rumble in the Bronx’. Readers can find her disclosure paperwork here.

Longtime CNBC anchor Larry Kudlow is now one of President Trump’s top economic advisors, and once ran for Senate in his home state of Connecticut.
The race is already growing crowded as MCC will be the 12th candidate. Here’s a rundown of who’s running in NY’s 14th district.
Democratic Party Democratic primary candidates
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Incumbent)
- Fernando Cabrera
- Michelle Caruso-Cabrera
- James Dillon
- Badrun Khan
- Jose Velazquez
Republican Party Republican primary candidates
- Jineea Butler
- Israel Ortega Cruz
- John Cummings
- Miguel Hernandez
- Scherie Murray
- Ruth Papazian
- Rey Solano
- Antoine Tucker
If MCC’s coverage is any guide, she will likely attack AOC’s socialistic tendencies, while also attacking AOC’s role in driving Amazon, and more than 100,000 well-paying jobs, away from Long Island City.

Pick your poison……the devil you know versus the devil you don’t. Do your staff work and act appropriately.
WTF does that mean? Rub your member and smile?
Act appropriately,never/ever live in New York City!
Good folks in New York State,hope they decouple from the city.
I agree ! The people upstate are a different breed then the ones in the city. A much better breed .
“A much better breed”
chosen, even.
(to the up-voter) I was being sarcastic.
The “chosen” live in NYC – and what a great marketing slogan. It pretty much allows you to get away with rampant genocide throughout your entire history on earth and still elicit “sympathy” from all the suckers who buy that BS.
“The ‘chosen’ live in NYC”
(((The Chosen))), sure. but their attitude is not limited to them, lots of far rightists have the exact same attitude. “We Are Smart And Ev Ry One Else Is Stu Pid.” and by “We” usually is meant “I My Self A Lone” – which is why they always lose.
What is the far right if not the left?
aoc may have the voters, but mcc already has the vote count.
enemy infighting is muh fav
Notice how many of the Republican Party Republican primary candidates have minority looking names. Hey DNC, buh bye.
Yeah, minority sounding names.
What happened with stalker dude?

AOC has already won and doesnt need to be re-elected.
AOC has only just begun. She’s bank for TPTB, like some not-a-quarterback with the respectable afro.
Methinks that AOC has gotten too big for her britches, and could be routed come November.
ck.ur.box,k…thx~
MABA… Make AOC Bartend Again.
Unlike AOC, MCC is actually very smart. She is also media savvy and has lots of rich friends.
(((rich friends)))
AOC can’t lose. They’ll put her in MCC’s spot if need be, a la Van Jones. AOC is effective theatre and propaganda. She puts a disarming face on the brown invasion. That’s important to them, maybe even (((them))).
She screwed the pooch when she chased off the $100k/yr jobs from Amazon. She has also pissed off SanFranNan and the dem establishment.
Maybe a hit from Amazon, but they have a horrible reputation so I’m not sure about that. Regarding the Dem establishment, you’re so yesterday in your thinking. Meet the new steerage owners. She’s the face of taking over. She is the underling establishment, to shepherd in the replacements, her people. We got Muslim Congresswomen. This shit is real. They are putting youngish women’s faces on the invader minions for a reason. The rules you believe in don’t actually apply. Maybe they never did. She will pop up over and over like a herpes sore. Count on it. You and me, not so much.
I think she is proof of the Peter Principal and has risen to a level far beyond her abilities. She has let it go to her head and thinks she is more important than she really is. Who knows, maybe Trump’s rumor that she will challenge Chucky or maybe he is just driving a wedge between the new young left and the old established left. Me thinks she is a flash in the pan and will be gone from the House come January. The muslims will be there for a while and they will be joined by others.
Slightly off topic, but what happened to this insane CA25 Congresswoman?
Still AWOL on an unsigned resignation letter?
It’s New York City, nobody cares.
One commie the same as another.
Getting tired of waiting for the AOC sex tape.
AOC should be hung until dead for treason.
