Former GOP strategist Steve Schmidt, a Lincoln Project founder, reached out to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) last night:
“We disagree on many issues and that is ok in our view. Btw, we don’t look down on waitresses. We admire them. We are all the types of guys who always tip at 50% or more.”
“I have an idea. Let’s approach each other and our points of view with good faith. We say the following with respect and seriousness Ma’am. Our hand is open and we need to work together or we are going to lose America. The fight will last for many years.”
“Here is the unexpected part. A democratic-socialist and former waitress who knows what it is to actually work combined with the Lincoln Project and many others is going to hold the line together. We will not yield and we will never break. We are the side opposed to autocracy.”
