Sean Patrick Maloney Rips AOC After His Defeat

Defeated Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) ripped into Rep, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY), who had endorsed his primary challenger, the New York Times reports.

Said Maloney: “The last time I ran into A.O.C., we were beating her endorsed candidate two to one in a primary, and I didn’t see her one minute of these midterms helping our House majority. So, I’m not sure what kind of advice she has, but I’m sure she’ll be generous with it.”

He added: “But let’s be clear, she had almost nothing to do with what turned out to be an historic defense of our majority. Didn’t pay a dollar of dues. Didn’t do anything for our frontline candidates except give them money when they didn’t want it from her.”

Ocasio-Cortez responded on Twitter saying that Maloney and other leaders “made it very clear that our help was not welcome nor wanted. Despite our many, many offers.”
