AOC Sics Lawyers on Her Own Ex-Campaign Aide, Slaps Him with Cease-and-Desist

"Ocasio-Cortez's legal counsel sent a cease and desist letter to Latino activist Ramon Ramirez for his self-published memoir titled 'Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: The Democrats' Surprise,'" the Post reported Monday.

It's worth noting that the Democrats' surprise - and thusly, AOC's wrath - may be that Ramirez decided to paint Ocasio-Cortez's victory over now-former Rep. Joe Crowley in the Democratic primary in explicitly racial terms.

87%. 13%. Of Crowley's 6-feet, 4-inch height, Ramirez wrote in a draft manuscript that it was "Unfortunately proportional to the despotic and solemn air with which he demanded to be revered like the 'Celtic king.'".

Ramirez's book also outlined a bit of dirty trickery from the Ocasio-Cortez campaign.

"Ramirez details how he and a fellow official of the Pan-American Democratic Association of Queens, William Salgado, worked with Ocasio-Cortez to circumvent Crowley's refusal to debate the challenger by scheduling a bilingual June 11 showdown at the Jackson Heights Jewish Center - without informing Crowley's camp," the Post reported back in March.

The letter demands that "Surprise" and another one of Ramirez's self-published books be removed from Amazon and other sellers because they "Seek to profit off the Congresswoman's name and likeness, without her involvement or permission," according to the Post.

Despite the fact that I follow Ocasio-Cortez for work, I hadn't heard of Ramirez or his scribblings - which is probably understandable when you're talking about a guy who would write a sentence like "We stripped the Celtic king of a crown that he had received without political or community merit" with a completely straight face.
