Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” show Monday and skillfully reduced Donald Trump’s Nazi-inspired rally at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
“This was not just a presidential rally. This was also not just a campaign rally,” Ocasio-Cortez explained. “I think it’s very important for people to understand that these are mini Jan. 6 rallies. These are mini Stop the Steal rallies. These are rallies to prime an electorate into rejecting the results of an election if it doesn’t go the way that they want.”
I mean, you have JD Vance literally talking about watering down people’s right to vote, depending on if they can viably carry a child or not,” Ocasio-Cortez said, pointing to the low bar of sanity in the Trump campaign. “We have to understand how unhinged this campaign has gotten. And the only reason that their rhetoric has gotten this far is precisely because they are trying to prime the kind of froth that led up to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.”
