Two weeks after former Chicago Mayor and Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her "Snot-nosed punk" chief-of-staff Saikat Chakrabarti are destroying the Democratic party, Chakrabarti and AOC's communications director Corbin Trent have abruptly resigned from the Congresswoman's office, according to The Intercept.
"Saikat has decided to leave the office of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez to work with New Consensus to further develop plans for a Green New Deal," according to Trent, who added "We are extraordinarily grateful for his service to advance a bold agenda and improve the lives of the people in NY-14. From his co-founding of Justice Democrats to his work on the Ocasio-Cortez campaign and in the official office, Saikat's goal has always been to do whatever he can to help the larger progressive movement, and we look forward to continuing working with him to do just that".
In response, the official House Democrats Twitter account (operated by the office of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY slammed Chakrabarti after he tried to backpedal.
Last month, Chakrabarti also took heat for wearing a T-shirt featuring Nazi collaborator Subhas Chandra Bose.
Chakrabarti founded a PAC called Brand New Congress in 2016, and another in 2017 called Justice Democrats which has the stated goal of helping to elect progressives to Congress.
The shells were formed with similar names to the PACs; "Brand New Campaign LLC and Brand New Congress LLC" according to the Examiner report.
Lastly, AOC's former right-hand-man revealed himself to be an opportunist when he said that her signature Green New Deal wasn't actually about saving the environment - remarking to presidential candidate Jay Inslee's climate director "It wasn't originally a climate thing at all ... we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing."
