Democrat Infighting Continues as Fetterman Shreds AOC into Little Pieces
SHARE

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) lashed out at Senate Democrats after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) voted to advance the House GOP’s continuing resolution (CR), ultimately allowing the bill to pass.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., speaks about President Trump’s Office of Management and Budget director nominee, Russell Vought, arguing he will use the position to implement Project 2025 if confirmed, in Washington on Jan. 23, 2025.

Ocasio-Cortez called it an “outrage and betrayal” of House Democrats who opposed the measure.

Some unnamed House Democrats reportedly urged Ocasio-Cortez to consider a primary challenge against Schumer in response to his support for the bill.

DEMS IN DISARRAY: AOC is LIVID at Senate Democrats:

“There is a deep sense of outrage and betrayal.”

“I think it is a huge slap in the face. We cannot afford to be in an ‘every person for themselves’ kind of moment.”

However, another Senate Democrat who backed the resolution, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), dismissed Ocasio-Cortez’s outrage when asked about her comments.

Speaking to The Hill on Friday, Fetterman was direct in his response to Ocasio-Cortez’s claims that Senate Democrats had betrayed their House colleagues by supporting the CR.

“I hope you can relay how little I care about her views on this,” Fetterman said.

He defended his decision to vote for the measure, emphasizing the impact a government shutdown would have on American workers.

“I’m going to stand on what I happen to believe is the right thing to do, but ask her, ‘What’s the exit plan once we shut the government down?’ What about all the millions of Americans who are going to have their lives damaged?” Fetterman continued.

He also pointed out that while a shutdown would affect many working Americans, Ocasio-Cortez would not personally face the consequences.

“What about the ones that won’t have any paycheck? She’ll have her paycheck, though,” he said.

Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive House Democrats strongly opposed the Republican-led CR, arguing that Democrats should not support the measure.

However, with no alternative plan to avoid a shutdown, Senate Democrats, including Schumer and Fetterman, opted to move forward with the legislation.

The divide highlights an ongoing split within the Democratic Party between progressives like Ocasio-Cortez, who favor aggressive opposition strategies, and more moderate or pragmatic members like Fetterman, who advocate for negotiation and compromise.

Fetterman’s remarks underscored his stance that preventing a government shutdown was more important than partisan posturing.

His comments also reflect a growing frustration among some Senate Democrats toward House progressives’ demands.

The debate over the CR comes at a time when the Democratic Party is facing declining approval ratings and struggling to maintain voter confidence.

Recent polling has shown increasing numbers of Americans identifying as Republican, a shift that could pose challenges for Democrats in upcoming elections.

Fetterman’s willingness to push back against members of his own party is notable, as few Senate Democrats have publicly criticized Ocasio-Cortez and her progressive allies.

His remarks reflect a broader concern among some Democrats that the party’s focus on ideological battles is overshadowing practical governance.

With the CR now passed and the government avoiding a shutdown, the internal rift within the Democratic Party is likely to continue.

How party leaders navigate these divisions in the coming months could have significant implications for their political future.
