I’m Sorry Kids, But AOC and Bernie Sanders Might Be Breaking Up

Every generation has a celebrity couple that defines the meaning of love. Like Evelyn Nesbit and Stanford White, Leon Trotsky and Frida Kahlo, that fictional class warfare couple on the Titanic, and Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

Following Ocasio-Cortez’s three-day stint, Sanders’s campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, texted AOC’s campaign manager to express his dissatisfaction with aspects of her performance, according to a source familiar with the exchange. Specifically, the Sanders campaign was miffed that Ocasio-Cortez didn’t mention Sanders by name when she closed out a campaign event at the University of Iowa on a Friday night at the end of last month—a fact that Fox News picked up on.

Ocasio-Cortez’s comments about the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol were also seen by some within the Sanders campaign as going too far, straying from Sanders’s stance on the issues in encouraging people not to cooperate with law enforcement agencies, according to this source.
