WASHINGTON (JTA) — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said that if he is elected, he would give a “very, very important role” in White House to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Sanders, a senator from Vermont, said this in a joint interview with Ocasio-Cortez last week to ABC News, adding that the Bronx-Queens freshman congresswoman has ideas that “are resonating all over this country,” and: “If I am in the White House, she will play a very, very important role. No question.”
“I don’t want you to hear this, because your head will explode,” Sanders said in jest to Ocasio-Cortez, before adding, “I don’t know of any person … who has had more of an impact on American politics as a freshman member of Congress than she has.”
Polls from the previous two weeks have Sanders, who is Jewish, in second or third place, trailing Joe Biden and, in most polls, also Elizabeth Warren. Ocasio-Cortez is not running and has endorsed Sanders.
Ocasio-Cortez has drawn considerable admiration and criticism for her recent insistence on calling migrant detention centers at the U.S.-Mexico border “concentration camps.”
She has been critical of Israel for its treatment of Palestinians and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Sanders has also criticized Israel and last month suggested that some of the money Israel receives from the United States for defense assistance should go to humanitarian relief in the Gaza Strip.
Israel uses the money to buy systems and materials for its military and defense from the United States.
Alter Kaker Bernie, like maybe being your nurse, I heard she can wipe a.. pretty good.
She could US Bartender General.
Secretary of State is more likely or maybe just UN Ambassador, either way we will miss Obama (and Trump)
Another reason to vote against the Kapo Bernie Sanders. Bernie has chosen and would continue to choose many soneh yisrael for his associates.
Alter Kaker is ohver boatel. A self depreciating self hating Yid. Gives credit to anti Semitic ignorant shtik drek. And yet all the liberal wana be like the goyim yidden will vote & support them
Do the posters commenting on his jewishness realize that he is running for the office of President of the USA?
He is not trying to be the head of a shul.
His jewishness is not material.
Chief Custodial Engineer would be a perfect place for her. And with Bernie on the WH, she’ll have loads of trash to deal with….
this is exactly what I would expect any self hating Jew to do.
He snuggles up to the Islamics in the USA, gives support to the anti-semites and boasts to us that he is a Jew.
Give him back his foreskin and leave us alone!
some the entries read like the content of a trash can
IF Bernie was alive in 1942 he would sell out his brothers to the nazis so he could get a bowl of soup. This man is an evil piece of human excrement who will hopefully kick the bucket very soon.
