AOC top adviser Corbin Trent abruptly exits campaign
[NYPOST] A top adviser to Rep. Alexandria Boom BoomOcasio-Cortez  Dem represntative from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details...has abruptly left her campaign, The Post has learned. The freshman politician’s campaign front man, Corbin Trent, revealed his surprise departure when a news hound contacted him for comment on Sunday. His affiliation with AOC was also scrubbed from his twitter account. Trent referred questions to AOC’s campaign manager Rebecca Rodriguez, who declined comment. He was part of AOC’s brain trust when she shocked the political world by ousting ex-Rep. and then-Queens Democratic Party leader Joe Crowley in the 2018 Democratic Party, becoming the youngest woman elected to Congress. AOC, a democratic socialist, has emerged as one of the most powerful voices on the political left in the US. She is heavily favored to win re-election later this year in the 14th congressional district covering parts of The Bronx and Queens. Trent, 31, is a co-founder of Justice Democrats, the progressive political action committee that recruited and backed Ocasio-Cortez’s successful insurgency that toppled Crowley and backs other leftist primary challengers against incumbents deemed too tied to the status quo and monied interests. Corbin, who declined comment on his departure, on Tuesday said he’s now a paid staffer on Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, pitching in with communications and other strategic work. AOC also is a Sanders booster. He also worked on Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign for president.
