President Trump is predicting AOC will try to succeed him in the White House, but threw her in with other left wing candidates trying to ditch their earlier radical positions that are now causing political heartburn.
“I think so,” he told Fox News in an interview during his trip to Long Island Friday when asked about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who recently revealed in videos she is freezing her eggs – prompting new speculation about her political ambitions for higher office.
He was asked about the 36-year-old socialist lawmaker’s statement Sunday that “woke 1.0 was crazy,” in a remark that distanced her from comments that have been bedeviling left wing Democratic candidates like holiday-hating Francesca Hong in Wisconsin.
“But if you really look at it, they’re all saying the same thing. They’re all trying to disavow themselves from saying about crime and all, we love sanctuary cities. All of the things that they said they’re now trying to disavow,” Trump told Fox correspondent Alexis McAdams.
He also ripped Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for bizarre writings comparing football to “toxic masculinity,” colonialism and slavery.
“Well, it’s a great place when you have Michigan – it’s a great bad place to be saying it,” Trump said sarcastically. “They have a great football team, and the number of great football teams up there that the people love. I would say that that’s a big mistake.”
El-Sayed attended the University of Michigan, which holds the NCAA record for the most all-time wins in college football history. He wrote in 2021 about “the toxic masculinity at the heart of America’s most popular sport.” But he also captained his high school football team in the Detroit suburbs and played club lacrosse in college.
Trump, who stressed illegal immigration in his 2024 comeback, predicted AOC would get hung up on their support for “sanctuary cities.”
“I think you’re going to see sanctuary cities start to end, because sanctuary cities are a disaster. And somebody like her, she was big for sanctuary cities,” he said.
