Former New York Gov. David Paterson dismissed US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s influence after left-wing progressives endorsed by the socialist firebrand suffered brutal losses in last week…
“AOC are just three letters in the alphabet,” the 68-year-old Democrat said in an interview on WABC radio’s “The Cats Roundtable” aired Sunday.
Asked if the losses represented “the rise and fall of AOC,” the Democratic former governor replied, “I don’t know if there ever was a rise, John.” “But really, there’s no evidence that it had any coattails, not in this 2022 primary, but not even in the 2020 elections,” he added. “I think she is really a phantom of the media, the media projects her.”In last week’s primary elections, AOC-endorsed state Assembly hopefuls were all defeated by establishment Democrats.
“If you look at the gubernatorial primary, Hochul got 66%, [New York City Public Advocate] Jumaane Williams gets 16%, and so she beat the progressive by 50 points, and the other 18% or so went to [moderate US Rep.] Tom Suozzi,” he told Catsimatidis.Paterson also cast doubt on the narrative that Ocasio-Cortez’s opposition was largely responsible for driving Amazonof its previously announced plan to build a new campus in Long Island City.
