There were few of us thought that the arrival of Ocasio-Cortez came from out of the blue. Our hunch included that perhaps Soros may have had his long fingers in this special find.
After all, a media darling in no time flat. Even after making a total fool of herself with her lack of savvy about most everything, the beat goes on. Merely a primary winner, she already has been chosen for President in say 2020?
It turns out she as well as Cynthia Nixon, candidate in New York for Governor had some powerful backing including from the George Soros’ Media Consortium.
Ocasio-Cortez was a Bernie Sanders organizer.
And as Rich Weinstein in a great Twitter thread points out, this is what her website looks like now:
But this is what it looked like last year according to the Wayback archive.
What is a Brand New Congress?
Their goal was to have 400 candidates to run for Congress by last year and each of those 400 is supposed to commit to a similar far left platform including immigration reform and the abolishment of ICE.
Justice Democrats were founded in part by Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks and former Bernie people. And they are promoting not just Congressional candidates but gubernatorial candidates like Cynthia Nixon in New York.
And as Ocasio-Cortez notes in this interview after with Uygur at the ten-minute mark that BNC and the Justice Democrats were instrumental in soliciting her and then promoting her “after she left Standing Rock” which means she was among the far left pipeline protesters.
Start at about the ten minute mark:
Uygur doesn’t, however, explain in the interview about his connection to the effort.
And Uygur’s Young Turks is part of the Soros Media Consortium that provided wattage for the Ocasio-Cortez campaign. According to the MRC, this provides favorable coverage to 300 million people across the globe in a month.

[…] this post on Bunkerville’s blog suggests, Ocasio-Cortez may have so much attention because George Soros is backing her: […]

She has gone from an obscure candidate to a national figure in no time flat so there is no doubt she is Soros funded. That is the only way a person with no grasp on the issues could do what she is doing now but it still is a sad state of affairs to think people are actually voting for her.

The good news is that in the not too far off future she takes the oath of office on some cold January 20th she won’t be wearing a $6,000 Pant Suit.

Just more reason to restrict campaign donations to constituents — individuals who live in the candidate’s/elected official’s district and are eligible to vote for them. Allowing donations from people outside the candidate’s district is election fraud — it’s the same as allowing people from outside the district to vote for the candidate.

I agree 100% Laura! One of my pet peeves is the fact people can donate to local elections in races where they are not constituents.
