Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was booted from the progressive union-backed Working Families Party (WFP) ballot line by a Queens judge, a blow to her potentially competitive Democratic primary fight.

The freshman lawmaker was removed from the primary ballot after receiving only 13 signatures from members of the progressive group that has dubbed itself the "Tea Party of the left" -- two short of what she needed to get on the ballot.

Now, she won’t be on the WFP ballot line in the November general election, either, said Martin O'Connor, attorney for AOC's Democrat opponent Michelle Caruso-Cabrera.

Working Families Party (WFP) booted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from their ballot line. Yet, they will campaign for her. Which is it? 

New York Supreme Court Judge Phillip Hom ruled that Ocasio-Cortez should be removed from the WFP ballot, where she would have run unopposed.

Leaders of the Working Families Party vowed they would still campaign for Ocasio-Cortez even after her removal from the ballot.

“We believe the Congresswoman is the leader her district and this country needs," said Sochie Nnaemeka, director of the state party, who decried petition challenges amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Since NY canceled their primaries, it looks like they're stuck with AOC. There are plenty of idiots in NY's 14th district who support the scrunt's moronic statements and views on most everything.

Personally, I hope AOC stays in office. The more stupid shit she says, the dumber her party looks and maybe, just maybe, the Dems will split to something approximating two piles of shit on the street rather than just one large one.
