TIME Magazine’s Charlotte Alter: Democrats are ‘jealous’ of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s far-left brand of socialism is portrayed positively as Time Magazine put the New York rep on the cover their new issue with a headline: “THE PHENOM.”
National correspondent Charlotte Alter then went on a PR run to promote the interview and Cortez: “[Ocasio-Cortez is] a democratic socialist at a time when confidence in capitalism is declining, especially among progressive millennials.”
The journalist cheered: “She’s a political phenomenon: part activist, part legislator, arguably the best storyteller in the party since Barack Obama and perhaps the only Democrat right now with the star power to challenge President Donald Trump’s.”
Touting the socialist as a pop sensation, she said: “Thousands of people tune in to watch her make black-bean soup or re-pot her houseplants on Instagram Live. Immediately after she tweeted the name of her signature red lipstick—Beso, by Stila—it sold out online.”
The little criticism of Ocasio-Cortez that made it into the article mostly came from fellow Democrats who are portrayed as jealous: “Many House Democrats resent her celebrity and worry it overshadows efforts to reach the moderate voters who propelled the party to the majority. Privately, some admit they’re also a little afraid of her.”
This is the same TIME Magazine which featured President Trump in a Hitler homage cover before he ever took office, see that below.
