MSNBC host Joy Reid said on Monday she would join New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a “war” against the moderate wing of the Democratic Party.
Reid, host of The ReidOut, spoke to former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele about his opposition to President Donald Trump and his work with the conservative Lincoln Project.
. . .he reframed the issue as a question for her, saying: “That’s the problem with the nature of our politics today. In the many respects, Donald Trump exposed that distortion in our politics. You see it on the left as well. How do you go to battle with an Ocasio-Cortez?
I would, I would!” Reid said. “She knows how to speak to young voters and I trust her she cares about constituents. I believe she actually cares whether people have a meal on Thanksgiving.
“I don’t know if Marco Rubio does, If don’t know if Rick Scott cares, I know AOC cares. And she will fight for her constituents come hell or high water and for this country’s democracy. Hell yeah, I’d go to war with her. On hundred percent.”
