When U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez filled in for Bernie Sanders at an Iowa campaign rally last month, her performance ended up irritating the Sanders camp, according to a report.
The New York Democrat and fellow Sanders supporter Michael Moore shared top billing at the event in Ames, home of Iowa State University, because Sanders was busy attending President Trump’s Senate impeachment trial in Washington.
But Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir wasn’t happy that Ocasio-Cortez neglected to mention Sanders’ name while speaking to the crowd – as Fox News reported at the time – and others on the Sanders team thought the congresswoman went too far by encouraging the crowd not to cooperate with U.S. immigration officials as they pursue illegal immigrants, Vanity Fair reported this week.
“Organizing is about tipping people off if you start to see that ICE and CBP are in communities, to try and keep people safe,” Ocasio-Cortez had said, referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection – two agencies that have been at odds with the nation’s “sanctuary cities” and other communities vowing not to cooperate with federal agents on immigration matters.
At the time, Ocasio-Cortez’s immigration comments drew swift criticism from Tom Homan, former acting director of ICE, who called her remarks “dangerous” and “idiotic.”
“I’m disgusted,” Homan said during an appearance on “Fox & Friends Weekend.” “She says you want to tip off the community to keep the community safe? That's what ICE is doing.”
For their part, the Ocasio-Cortez camp was irked when Sanders accepted an endorsement from comedian Joe Rogan, host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, Vanity Fair reported. Critics on the left have accused Rogan of appealing to “white bigots,” as Fox News reported last month.
The 30-year-old Ocasio-Cortez – as well as fellow “Squad” members, U.S. Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. – have been key surrogates for the 78-year-old Sanders as he tries to appeal to younger Democratic voters, in competition with 77-year-old Joe Biden and 70-year-old Elizabeth Warren, as the septuagenarians each try to fend off 38-year-old Pete Buttigieg and 59-year-old Amy Klobuchar for the party’s 2020 presidential nomination.
Ocasio-Cortez didn't comment to Vanity Fair, but whatever tensions may have existed between her and the Sanders camp last month appear to have eased, the article notes. While Ocasio-Cortez was absent from Sanders rallies just prior to the Feb. 3 caucuses, she was back stumping for Sanders in New Hampshire this week.

As if his poor results in Iowa and New Hampshire weren’t enough, Joe Biden was met with chants of “Drop out, Joe!” on Thursday night as he left a campaign fundraiser in New York City, according to reports.
Other protesters from the group New York Communities for Change held a mock “funeral” for Biden’s candidacy, featuring a black coffin decorated with Biden 2020 stickers.
“The campaign is pretty much done,” one “mourner” said. “The people have spoken. Young people have spoken.”
Earlier this week, the 77-year-old former vice president’s struggles to connect with voters, despite being deemed the Democratic Party’s frontrunner for its 2020 presidential nomination, prompted him to leave New Hampshire early, before the primary results were in, so he could focus on the Feb. 22 Nevada caucuses and Feb. 29 South Carolina primary.
Biden told supporters in South Carolina on Tuesday that he wasn’t anywhere close to giving up on the race.
“It is important that Iowa and New Hampshire have spoken, but we need to hear from Nevada and South Carolina and Super Tuesday and beyond,” he said. “We haven’t heard from the most committed constituents in the Democratic Party -- the African-American community -- or the fastest-growing segment of the party -- the Latino Americans.”
Biden went on to describe the importance of the African-American and Latino votes, saying that you “can’t be the Democratic nominee and you can’t win the Democratic nomination as a Democrat unless you have the support of black and brown voters.”
On Thursday night Biden was in midtown Manhattan, courting Wall Street figures as he hoped to raise at least $1 million, the New York Post reported.
Attendees at the Wayfarer restaurant event were scheduled to include former Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack, Centerview Partners executive Alan Hartman, Citigroup exec Ray McGuire, Blackstone operating chief Jonathan Gray, Snap chairman Michael Lynton and former Obama economic adviser Jeffrey Zients, according to a list obtained by CNBC.
Biden’s fourth-place finish in the Feb. 3 Iowa caucuses and even worse fifth-place finish in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary reportedly had some backers concerned about the future of his campaign
A recent Quinnipiac University poll showed Sen. Bernie Sanders leading the Democratic Party field nationally, with support from 25 percent of Democratic voters, with Biden garnering only 17 percent.
