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.
