Chris Cuomo has publicly criticized Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), accusing her of harming the Democratic Party. Cuomo stated that AOC is "killing her party" and urged her and her supporters to leave the Democratic Party, asserting that they are neither capitalists nor true Democrats. He described her as a "symbol of the demise of the Democratic Party" and called on Democrats to move on from her influence. Cuomo further emphasized that the party should align with the majority rather than a minority faction. This criticism follows recent political developments, including Cuomo's brother's defeat to a candidate described as an "open socialist," which Cuomo referenced in his remarks. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have been noted for their growing political strength, particularly in recent primaries. Cuomo's comments have sparked reactions within the party, including from the Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee.
