Report: The Man AOC Defeated in the Primary Had Potentially Game-Changing Dirt on Her

We’ve all made decisions that we’d like to take back. Whether it’s saying the wrong thing or making a bad purchase, it would be nice if life had a “do-over” button sometimes.

It’s a safe bet that many New Yorkers wish they could take back Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The youngest member of Congress and open socialist was hailed by many as the new face of liberalism, but her time in office has so far been a dud.

The 29-year-old former bartender angered countless New York residents after she crusaded against Amazon’s headquarters expansion plans in the state, which would have brought tens of thousands of jobs. Ocasio-Cortez stepped on so many toes that citizens paid for a Times Square billboard to call her out….

But all of those headaches could have been completely avoided last year. A new report from the New York Post suggests that the frequently clueless congresswoman might have been stopped before she even won the primary, but her opponent just didn’t see her as a serious threat.

“An overconfident Joe Crowley opted against using negative ammunition against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because he believed that he had the Democratic primary locked up,” the newspaper reported on Monday.

“Crowley had plenty of fodder he could’ve used against Ocasio-Cortez, but his top New York campaign operatives decided to take the punches and not hit back,” Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer of Politico wrote in their latest book.

It wasn’t just that Crowley didn’t want to go dirty; he thought it would be a sign of weakness in D.C. if he was seen in a tight race against Ocasio-Cortez,” the pundits wrote. “He was supposed to be the next Democratic leader, not someone who had to fight for reelection.”

So just what ammunition did Crowley have against Ocasio-Cortez? For starters, it looks like he knew that the inexperienced newcomer may have dodged campaign finance laws by allegedly funneling money to avoid scrutiny.

“The conservative National Legal and Policy Center filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission last month charging that Ocasio-Cortez’s team used two affiliated political action committees to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars into a limited-liability company to evade campaign finance laws,” explained the POST.
