WASHINGTON — NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez clapped back at
fellow Democratic lawmaker Rep. Joe Manchin of West Virginia
after he said he did not support defunding the police — tweeting
an image of her glowering at him at the State of the Union.

The Bronx-born socialist expressed her displeasure on Thursday
at an earlier tweet from Manchin, a centrist, who attacked the
party’s noisy left flank as hand-wringing continues over the
party’s poor 2020 showing.

“Defund the police? Defund, my butt. I’m a proud West Virginia
Democrat. We are the party of working men and women. We want to
protect Americans’ jobs & healthcare. We do not have some crazy
socialist agenda, and we do not believe in defunding the
police,” he wrote.

Ocasio-Cortez’s (D. Bronx) response to her colleague’s tweet
notched more than 200,000 likes by Thursday afternoon and
prompted progressive group the Sunrise Movement to start a
petition to “Defund Joe Manchin’s butt.”

The Democratic Party is in the throes of a full-blown civil war
following last week’s presidential race which Joe Biden won but
saw Democrats’ majority in the House eroded and their dreams of
recapturing the Senate dashed.

In a caucus call last week, Rep. Abigail Spanberger [D-Va.], who
narrowly won reelection, implored her colleagues to “not ever
use the word ‘socialist’ or ‘socialism’ ever again.”

“We lost good members because of that,” she said.

Democratic stalwart and Majority Whip Rep. Jim Clyburn [D-S.C.]
has also warned about the dangers of “sloganeering” and said
calls to “defund the police” had hurt Democratic candidates.

Meanwhile, New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries reportedly took a
veiled shot at his progressive colleagues on another call,
quipping: “Do we want to win, do we want to govern, or do we
want to be internet celebrities?”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi [D. Calif] has avoided entering the
fray as rumors swirl that some members of the Democratic caucus
want to oust the 80-year-old over their abysmal 2020 showing.

But the party’s progressive wing, led by Ocasio-Cortez and
fellow “Squad” members Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and
Ayanna Pressley, have shot back — accusing Democratic leadership
of resting on their laurels and failing to organize at the
grassroots level.

In a post-mortem released Tuesday, progressive groups like the
Sunrise Movement charged that it was “unforced errors” like
Pelosi’s ice-cream stunt at the peak of the pandemic which cost
them those half dozen seats.

“When Democratic leaders make unforced errors like showing off
two sub-zero freezers full of ice cream on national television
or cozy up with Wall Street executives and corporate lobbyists
while Trump tells voters we are the party of the swamp, it is
not surprising that we lose,” they wrote.
