Tuesday’s results of the New York primary that saw a trio of radical left-wing candidates sweep to victory over two incumbent Democrats stunned observers, but a certain prominent congresswoman is saying to just give socialism a chance.
Of the three winners who were all endorsed by “kingmaker” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, it is political newcomer Darializa Avila Chevalier who’s getting the most attention for her anti-Israel, anti-American, and anti-ICE viewpoints, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) defended the all but certain future House colleague.
AOC sat down with former Biden regime spox Jen Psaki on MS NOW to discuss the primary that has sent shockwaves through the political system, and when asked about some of Chevalier’s more extreme takes and actions, the Dem diva declined to criticize the far-left firebrand.
AOC defends Democrat Socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier’s unhinged beliefs like abolishing the border:

“She has indicated that she has regret over the way that she made – issued those statements,” Ocasio-Cortez began. “And, I genuinely believe that the gravity and the responsibility of this role has a way of inhabiting you.”
“And, I genuinely believe that we have to give people the opportunity to occupy their beliefs within the gravity of becoming a duly elected member of Congress,” she said.
AOC’s take was mocked by X users, some of whom suggested that it was so loopy that she was veering into the territory of Kamala Harris, the former vice president and failed 2024 presidential candidate who has few equals when it comes to the art of serving up incoherent word salads.

“the opportunity to occupy their beliefs within the gravity of becoming a duly elected member of Congress.”
Did every Democrat study Linguistics alongside Kamala Harris? https://t.co/3JRSAVZSbg

How do you occupy beliefs within the gravity of becoming?
Can Kamala help clarify?

AOC with her word salad sophistry makes Kamala sound like Einstein in comparison.
You can’t dress up communism in empty pretty words any more than you can put a tuxedo on a rabid hyena and call it a gentleman.

She must have taken political public speaking classes at the Kamala Harris Learing School. 😂

“AOC appears to be morphing into Kamala Harris: When asked about Democrat Socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier’s extremist views, she responded: ‘We have to give people the opportunity to occupy their beliefs within the gravity of becoming a duly elected member of Congress.’ Ridley Scott said it more succinctly, ‘In space, no one can hear you scream,'” Turley wrote, a reference to the “Alien” movie franchise tagline.
“I went through the same thing. I was met with so much hostility & cruelty by the Democratic caucus….I think it’s important to not issue a verdict before they arrive,” Ocasio-Cortez also said, recalling the reception that she initially received when coming to Congress, although Chevalier is such an extreme commie that she makes the “Squad” leader look like Margaret Thatcher.
