More Dems Asked About Radical Wing of Party

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may have pulled off an impressive underdog win in New York's 14th congressional district, but she has been more of a headache and a handicap for Democrats than a welcome addition.

Ocasio-Cortez represents the young, radically progressive of the Democratic Party.

Rep. Denny Heck is the most recent Democrat to cast doubt on Ocasio-Cortez's win and to urge a more moderate agenda.

His reasonable view on ICE even has some liberal voters cheering on Heck's opponent, Tamborine Borrelli.

Former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu has taken a similar approach to questions about ICE and about progressives like Ocasio-Cortez.

Landrieu said the Democratic Party needs to be "a big tent party," with room for everybody.

Ocasio-Cortez, on the other hand, is preparing her Netroots speech.
