Joe Crowley Outed For Flipping Out Over Ro Khanna's Endorsement Of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Kyle Kulinski should have a show on MSNBC or CNN. Believe me you're never going to hear any of this stuff from Rachel Maddow.

There are no other members of Congress who have endorsed Alexandria. Instead the co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus is whipping for Crowley. (No, I'm not talking about Raul Grijalva.) Ro has endorsed the most progressive candidates running for Congress, the ones who are going to help him pass Medicare-For-All and the whole Bernie platform. He's not the DCCC and he's not endorsing based on who can win. He's not endorsing Blue Dogs from the Republican wing of the Democratic Party. He was pushing Randy Bryce before the DCCC had ever heard of him. He's backing the best state legislator in the country who would be a superstar the first day he got to Congress, Kaniela Ing (D-HI). He endorsed Brent Welder and James Thompson in heartland districts the DCCC is igorninhg and two of the best gubernatorial candidate in the country, Ben Jealous (D-MD) and Abdul El Sayed (D-MI). Any other congressional Democrats stepping out on a limb that way. Tuesday is primary day in New York-- an opportunity to replace Crowley with Alexandria Ocasio. Have you helped?

Everyone makes a mistake. No one's perfect. But Ro moved quickly to correct his. He's freshman and didn't know about Crowley's disgraceful voting ecord before he (Ro) was elected nor about Crowley's corruption. I think he was misled by someone he had every reason in the world to trust. Watch that whole video by Kulinski up top. He's got most of the points right. If you want to contribute to Ro's campaign, you can do it by tapping on the Blue America 2018 best House incumbents thermometer on the right. Remember, ProgressivePunch's highest lifetime (99.14) shows two members tied for #1-- Ro Khanna (CA) and Jamie Raskin (MD). 100%? No... but better than anyone else. Barney Frank once told me that when someone runs for Congress they may think they're going to be perfect but after a few years they even stop agreeing with themselves on some votes. I don't remember a single sitting member of Congress endorsing Dave Brat when he ran-- and won-- against Eric Cantor. That isn't how DC works. It was extremely courageous for Khanna to do what he did-- and you're not going to find anyone else daring to do likewise-- not ONE. It is unprecedented, part of what is wrong with Congress.
