Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attacked former Gov. John Kasich on Monday for saying that she does not represent the Democratic Party, tweeting that he is an “anti-choice extremist.” The New York Democrat’s criticism came after Kasich, a life-long Republican and outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, said that Ocasio-Cortez is out of line with many Democrats during an interview with Buzzfeed News. The Ohio Republican will be speaking at the Democratic National Convention. “I think both parties have to have new ideas, and I think this country is moderate,” Kasich told Buzzfeed. “People on the extreme, whether they’re on the left or on the right, they get outsized publicity that tends to define their party.” (RELATED: ‘Alienating Voters’: Pro-Life Democrats Urge Biden, DNC To Tone Down Abortion Stances) “You know, I listen to people all the time make these statements, and because AOC gets outsized publicity doesn’t mean she represents the Democratic Party,” he added.
