Showing Original Post only (View all)Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Reveals She Was Not Asked to Attend Bernie Sanders Kickoff Rally [View all]

During an interview with NY1s Errol Louis that was taped Sunday but aired Tuesday night, the Inside City Hall host asked AOC Did you attended the Bernie Sanders kickoff this weekend?
I did not, Ocasio-Cortez said with a laugh, adding Yesterday was my day to take care of myself.
I assume he asked you to be there, Louis remarked.
Um, he, he didnt, actually, AOC replied. I think that, weve been uh, so weve been in active conversation, Ive been speaking with him and several other of the 2020 candidates.
And I think that they have really understood and respected the fact that I think that I want to wait until we get a little bit closer, she continued. I think we need to have a conversation as a party, and I think thats endorsing very early in this race prevents us from having that kind of conversation.
She went on to agree with Louis that she will likely choose a presidential candidate to endorse before the New York Democratic primary.

OP
Wise move on both Sanders and AOC. Too bad headline tries to make it seem as if

FWIW - NO local electeds were at the kickoff speech, which stood out to me.
