Ocasio Cortez Cnn
Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday morning that it’s her “job to push the Democratic Party.” Anchor Jake Tapper referred to the fact that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said, “I am the Democratic Party right now” to ask Ocasio-Cortez whether she intends to. The clip came from a recent CNN interview in which Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said the liberal vision for the future would have a better chance of surviving GOP opposition if Democrats win the races in.

Just three days after liberal New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged the creation of a list of President Trump’s “sycophants,” a top CNN host has piled on with a warning that Trump aides battling the president’s legal case could see their job possibilities dry up.
Jake Tapper even suggested that sticking with Trump’s legal fight could be seen as a character flaw that future employers would reject.
“I truly sympathize with those dealing with losing — it’s not easy — but at a certain point one has to think not only about what’s best for the nation (peaceful transfer of power) but how any future employers might see your character defined during adversity,” he tweeted.

“So, it says here on your resume that you drove a sex offender to testify at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, north of the Tacony-Palmyra bridge...”

The comment was met with shock by several inside the administration and on Twitter who saw it as a not-so-subtle threat to accept the unofficial results of the race or forget about a good future job.
Lol at the “party of personal responsibility” being upset at the idea of being responsible for their behavior over last four years

But read the next tweet in the thread — I’m talking about professional actions that go well beyond reasonable legal challenges or actions or due diligence and into the land of the wild and unhinged,” he tweeted.
The attacks on the Trump team have been adding up and include Ocasio-Cortez’s call to have pro-Trump tweets archived.

Still, it is true that for many inside the administration, finding a job will be difficult, no matter what. There are about 4,000 administration-related jobs, and those will go to Biden. While there are a few new Republican congressional members, it isn’t enough to absorb all those positions.
