Ocasio-Cortez hammered with accusations of anti-Semitism after she blames Jewish group for Democrats' loss
Democrats are fighting among themselves to find who to blame for their astounding loss.
Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York blamed a Jewish lobbying group for the Democratic Party's woes in the election and got nailed with online backlash.
Ocasio-Cortez posted the missive on social media in an attempt to steer the liberal in-fighting against the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel lobbying group.
'Scapegoating the Jews for one’s failure is unreflective and a truly pathetic and ugly tactic.'
"If people want to talk about members of Congress being overly influenced by a special interest group pushing a wildly unpopular agenda that pushes voters away from Democrats then they should be discussing AIPAC," said Ocasio-Cortez in response to a senior adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
