Ocasio-Cortez Mocks Trump’s Defense of Electoral College

President Trump’s reelection campaign sent out a petition to protect the Electoral College, specifically targeting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Said the email blast: “Crazy AOC wants to ABOLISH the Electoral College. Let’s remind her this is OUR country, not the Coastal Elites.”

Of course, it was Trump who once called the Electoral College a “disaster for a democracy” and a “travesty” when Barack Obama won re-election in 2012.

Naturally, Ocasio-Cortez seized on the old tweet: “I’m so glad the President and I agree that the Electoral College has got to go.”
