NewsNation host Chris Cuomo slammed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), accusing her of pushing fringe politics that could destroy the Democratic Party. He criticized her call to impeach President Trump over his Iran strike, which led to a ceasefire, warning Democrats not to follow extremist paths they criticize in MAGA. Cuomo said AOC backs losing issues like defunding police and pro-Hamas rhetoric, and argued she isn’t a real Democrat or capitalist.
Referencing his father, former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, Cuomo claimed today’s leftists lack intelligence, philosophy, and electability. He called on Democrats to align with the mainstream, not the “loud 20%.”
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) echoed Cuomo’s stance, rejecting AOC’s impeachment calls and defending Trump’s Iran strike as justified. Fetterman warned that repeated impeachment efforts undermine the term’s seriousness. AOC had claimed the strike violated the Constitution, but Fetterman dismissed it as unhelpful political theater.
