New York Democrat Max Rose is declaring war on Ocasio-Cortez, daring her to primary him. He also took shots at the Green New Deal. The Daily Caller reports:
Democratic New York Rep. Max Rose says the Green New Deal isn’t really about saving the environment as much as it is “a lie to voters” that will usher in “massive socialist” spending and restrictions.
Rose was speaking Tuesday to MetroFocus, discussing both the Green New Deal, and its primary promoter, fellow Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whom he said can try beating him in his nomination with a challenger.
Although Rose, who is Jewish, says he’s all for fighting climate change and says “this is not the time for milquetoast incrementalism,” he doesn’t think the Green New Deal would be effective or necessary.
“But with that being said, nothing about what I just said would provide a justification for a massive socialist economic policy platform,” he added. “Just not needed.”
Rose is proof that there is still a centrist wing of the Democrat party. It remains to be seen if Ocasio-Cortez’s ideas win in the party.
Rose is an endangered species.
Yes, Rose is an endangered species. The Democratic party is hell bent to turn the party into The New Democratic Socialist Party. If moderate Democrats like Rose think for one moment the far left Democrats are going to allow Rose, or any other contender govern as moderates they are sadly mistaken. The left will swoop in and set the contender straight. So, moderate Democrats–Be very wary who you vote for in the next election. You might even vote Independent.
There are still some Democrats among the increasingly leftist (socialist/Marxist) party. Don’t discount president Thomas Jefferson’s party as it is not dead yet.
He really needs to get out of the Dem Party.
Gerald, I really think that the socialist/Marxists need to get out of the Democrat Party.
Joseph & Gerald, I think we should be at civil war with the democrats and totally destroy them. They are of no good to this country. None!! Take no mercy on them, and absolutely no prisoners. 24 hours 7 days a week cremation centers. Don’t need the soil tainted with such toxic waste.
