DNC Chair Perez: Socialist Candidate is the "Future of Our Party"

In an interview with Bill Press, DNC Chair Tom Perez said that socialist candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the future of the Democratic party.

PRESS: "Something else happened this week. There was a primary in several states. Your state, home state of Maryland, and also up in New York where the fourth most powerful Democrat in the United States Congress, Congressman Joe Crowley was knocked out by a young woman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 28 years old, never ran for office before, big Progressive, calls herself the Democratic socialist actually, like Bernie Sanders did, she was a Bernie Sanders supporter. And in Maryland, Ben Jealous, another strong progressive wins the Democratic nomination for governor. What does this tell you about where the Democratic Party is going today?".

PEREZ: "Well, my daughter is - I have three kids at home, one just graduated college, one is in college, and they were both texting me about their excitement over Alexandria because she represents the future of our party. She ran a spirited campaign. I have great respect for Joe Crowley. Joe Crowley is a good Democrat. He was one of the sponsors of the Medicare-for-all bill. He's fought the good fight."

The head of the DNC is saying that socialist candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the future of the Democratic party.

So the head of the DNC is saying the future of the Democratic party, at least under his direction, is to become a socialist party.

In the week since her upset primary win, New York Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has turned to elevating and endorsing like-minded contenders around the country.

Thanks DNC Chairman Perez for doing your part to help President Trump make America great again!
