“#AOC ripped into by NY’s Dem leader after party’s rough election night<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n State Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs ripped into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Wednesday over disapp<\/a>ointing results in key New York battleground congressional and legislative races last week.<\/p>\n

Jacobs, who also serves as the Nassau County Democratic leader, said he\u2019s had it with AOC and other left-wingers lecturing Democrats who have to fight to compete and win races in purple districts in Long Island and upstate.<\/p>\n

\u201cAOC has no standing on how to run a general<\/a> election in the suburbs and upstate. AOC is in a district that\u2019s 6-1 Democrat and she couldn\u2019t find a Republican in her district with binoculars,\u201d Jacobs told The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cI invite AOC to come to Long Island and stand for election in one of our districts. You\u2019ll see different results,\u201d Jacobs said.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez, who represents portions of The Bronx and Queens in the 14th congressional district, easily won re-election to a second term over Republican challenger John Cummings last week.<\/p>\n

Jacobs said Democrats wouldn\u2019t have secured control of the state Senate in 2018 without winning battleground suburban and upstate districts. Progressive laws such as controversial bail reform would not have occurred without them, he said.<\/p>\n

The Democratic in-fighting comes as the party surprisingly lost House seats even though former Vice President Joe Biden defeated President Trump in the race for the White House at the top of the ticket.<\/p>\n

In New York, Republicans were leading Democratic incumbents and others running in vacant seats in the machine count for congressional races on Long Island and Staten Island and about a half dozen state senate races. But about 1.5 million absentee ballots are still being counted that could tilt the outcome.<\/p>\n

Republicans up and down the ballot ran a law-and-order campaign in New York that attacked Democrats for approving a law that eliminate cash bail for many criminal defendants, backing the \u201cdefunding\u201d of the police and advancing social<\/a>ism. Democrats running the purple districts oppose defending police and socialism but their lefty counterparts including AOC support the latter two positions.<\/p>\n

Jacobs, like South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, said the \u2018defund the police\u2019 slogan pushed by progressives hurt Democrats in swing districts.<\/p>\n

The state Democratic leader \u2014 who is close to Gov. Andrew Cuomo \u2014 also said the left\u2019s mantra to advance socialism is \u201cfrightening\u201d to suburban and upstate voters.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for Ocasio-Cortez referred The Post to comments the congresswoman previously made on moderate Democrats blaming progressives for losses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really believe we need to come together and not allow Republican narratives to tear us apart,\u201d AOC said on CNN.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is irresponsible to pour gasoline on these delicate tensions in the party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez also stood her ground on Twitter, saying what is morally right at any given time is not always popular.<\/p>\n

\u2018The idea that politicians can control activist messaging doesn\u2019t make sense. They don\u2019t work for us,\u201d she said on twitter Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur job is to listen and develop our message, own it, win & lead. Civil rights movement didn\u2019t poll well at the time either. MLK was disliked. Does that mean he wasn\u2019t effective.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cActivists don\u2019t focus group. BLM is not the DNC. It\u2019s a pols\u2019 job to own their message.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week she also criticized some losing Democratic incumbents for failing to invest money into social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are folks running around on TV blaming progressivism for Dem underperformance. I was curious, so I decided to open the hood on struggling campaigns of candidates who are blaming progressive for their problems. Almost all had awful execution on digital. DURING A PANDEMIC,\u201d AOC tweeted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole `progressivism is bad\u2019 argument just doesn\u2019t have any compelling evidence that I\u2019ve seen. When it comes to `Defund\u2019 & `Socialism\u2019 attacks, people need to realize these are racial resentment attacks. You\u2019re not gonna make that go away. You can make it less effective,\u201d she wrote.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
