Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is lashing out at Democrats who are giving anonymous quotes raising concerns about President Joe Biden’s campaign.
In an Instagram live video early Friday morning, Ocasio-Cortez said, “There have been lots of Democrats who have been giving little anonymous quotes to the press, to some journalists, to print, and I’m not here to knock the press on it, I’m here to knock my colleagues on it.”
“Because to me, I think that’s, and I’m sorry — I’m going to say it because it’s after midnight — that’s bullsh*t,” she continued.
Ocasio-Cortez added, “If you have an opinion, say it with your chest, and say it in public… If that’s your opinion, and that’s what you think is best for the country, put your name on it.”

Her comment comes amid questions about Biden’s health and ability to beat former President Donald Trump, whom she branded as a “neo-Nazi.”
“Donald Trump is also very old, and a racist, and a neo-Nazi,” Ocasio-Cortez claimed. “But, anyways, I’m not even going to talk about Trump right now.”
Earlier this month, Ocasio-Cortez doubled down on her support of Biden amid calls for him to drop out, saying, “The matter is closed.”
