Who is this AOC man Mr. Saikat Chakrabarti ?

[Politico] Two years ago, after working for the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, Saikat Chakrabarti co-founded an organization called Brand New Congress with a lofty goal: Launch hundreds of progressive candidates into congressional races.

Hundreds didn’t exactly pan out. But one major star emerged from that process: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who shocked the political world this summer with a primary upset over rising party leader Joe Crowley (N.Y.).

Now Ocasio-Cortez is headed to Congress, with Chakrabarti as chief of staff.

Though they’ve been in Washington for only a few weeks, they’re already making a splash ‐ clashing with incoming committee chairmen, joining a protest in Nancy Pelosi’s office and agitating for newly empowered Democrats to stake out ambitious goals on climate change. Chakrabarti turned heads by saying on a call, "We gotta primary folks."

It’s all part of a broader strategy to deploy inside-out organizing, Chakrabarti said. Staying connected to the progressive movement ‐ and the public eye ‐ through attention-grabbing demonstrations and social media is part of gaining policy leverage.

In other words: Don’t expect them to back down.

#3 ...Well, he ain't quite as smart as he thought, because people already know about this dumb-shiat stunt.

For a Republican, this would mean at the minimum, resignation and disgrace and at worst jail time. AOC likely won't get it, but it's starting to look like Madame Guillotine - er, Speaker Pelosi and the rest of the Old Guard may have dropped a dime on her because she was flat out pissing them off. After all, one doesn't behave like that until they've been in Congress a few decades.
