\n New York Democratic Rep. Eliot Engel on Sunday scolded firebrand lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for backing his progressive primary challenger \u2014 going so far as to accuse her of acting like a dictator.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday broke with her veteran House Democrat colleague, 73, and backed former middle school teacher Jamaal Bowman whose Justice Democrats-backed campaign is gaining major momentum before New York\u2019s June 23 primary.<\/p>\n

In a video shared to Twitter<\/a>, Engel, the chair of the powerful House Foreign Affairs Committee, fumed over the influential AOC endorsement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a dictatorship. This is a democracy,\u201d the 16-term Bronx-Westchester congressman said in the clip shared by Washington Post reporter Dave Weigel.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t have one person, from high, even though she\u2019s a colleague of mine, think that she can anoint whoever\u2019s elected,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez made waves in 2018 when she unseated Democratic statesman Joe Crowley in an enormous upset in the neighboring Bronx district.<\/p>\n

Political pundits say there are strong parallels between Crowley and Engel, who was missing in action in March and April as his New Rochelle district battled a large COVID-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n

The congressman was back in the Bronx last week as it was being rocked by looting and violence, but was caught on a hot mic at a press conference admitting he wouldn\u2019t care about the civil unrest if he didn\u2019t have a primary around the corner.<\/p>\n

The New York Democratic establishment app<\/a>ears to be turning its back on Engel \u2014 with City Comptroller Scott Stringer endorsing Bowman and one-time gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon also lending her support to the newcomer.<\/p>\n

New York Sen. Alessandra Biaggi (D. Bronx) also rescinded her previous endorsement of Engel and on Friday announced she was backing Bowman.<\/p>\n

Engel\u2019s gaffes are Bowman\u2019s gain, with the 44-year-old progressive announcing a massive $427,000 fundraising haul last week.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
