AOC Makes Excuse for Democrat Party Hemorrhaging Latinos, Thinks They Simply Haven’t ’Tried’ to Win Them Over

During a podcast interview today, U.S. Congressman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) attempted to make an excuse for the Democrat Party hemorrhaging Latinos.

Ocasio-Cortez told the podcasters that she thinks it’s because the party simply hasn’t “tried” to win Latinos over.

A clip shows Ocasio-Cortez insisting, “I can at least say with Latino voters, we’ve never tried as a party. The Democratic Party has not tried in terms of Latino electorates.”

“And I mean, where’s our DREAM Act? Where is our immigration reform?” Ocasio-Cortez wondered.

Ocasio-Cortez then directed her ire at Joe Biden as she pointed out, “EEven recently with President Biden’s marijuana executive order, I very much applaud that he went there, but he exempted people who were convicted if they were convicted while they were undocumented.”

“We really need to step up both in our efforts on campaign, but also in our efforts in governance,” Ocasio-Cortez added.

NPR recently published an article titled, “Democrats are losing Latino voters as Republicans eye opportunities these midterms.”

The article pointed out that although recent polling shows a majority of Latino voters plan to back Democratic candidates in next month’s midterm elections, which continues a trend that has held for decades, that support is on the decline.

Democrats appear to be mostly relying on their pushback against former President Donald Trump and MAGA supporters, who want to see a wall to be built at the southern border.
