“And I drink coffee,' Ocasio-Cortez said in response to being labeled as part of the 'Herbal Tea Party.'
Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday accused conservative Democrats of acting “like the Tea Party,” in response to a report that a Democratic congressman had labeled her and other freshmen colleagues as the “Herbal Tea Party.”
“Breaking down Tlaib, Omar, and their allies on the left has been one of Gottheimer’s primary goals since the November elections,” the story states. “He has worked assiduously to carve out a role in the Democratic caucus as something of an avenger, a centrist proud of his centrism and willing to take the fight directly to the squad of freshmen trying to push the party in a progressive direction.”
“What’s funny is that there *are* Dems that do act like the Tea Party- but they’re conservative,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “They threaten Dem votes to get concessions for a small minority, tried to hand Speakership to the GOP, fundraise $ w/ Mike Pence, etc Progressives don’t do that.”The Tea Party is a populist branch of GOP members who are against taxation, government spending and regulation. Tea Party members believe taxes and big government infringe on Constitution-granted liberties.
In March, Ocasio-Cortez went after Democratic centrists who helped Republicans add a motion in favor of a background check bill that would alert U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement if a person entering the country illegally tried to purchase a gun.
