Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently voiced her disapproval of the Green Party's vice presidential nominee, Butch Ware, after he made comments regarding transgender athletes in women's sports. Ware expressed his belief that biological males should not compete in female sports, citing concerns about unfair competitive advantages.
Ocasio-Cortez responded to Ware's remarks, labeling the Green Party ticket as 'predatory' and asserting that people deserve better. This is not the first time the congresswoman has criticized the Green Party during the election cycle, previously calling the party and its presidential candidate, Jill Stein, as 'predatory' in early September.
During an Instagram Q&A session, Ocasio-Cortez questioned the authenticity and leadership of the Green Party, emphasizing the importance of party growth and the addition of down-ballot candidates. She expressed her concerns about the lack of progress and impact at lower levels of government despite repeated presidential campaigns by the Green Party.
In response to Ocasio-Cortez's comments, Jill Stein defended her party and accused the Democrats of running scared. Stein criticized the Democratic Party for its alleged support of genocide and highlighted what she perceived as hypocrisy in their accusations of predation. She pointed to the Democrats' involvement in funding and arming conflicts while claiming to advocate for peace.
The exchange between Ocasio-Cortez and the Green Party underscores the ongoing tensions and ideological differences within the political landscape. As the election season progresses, such clashes of opinion and policy are likely to continue shaping the discourse and influencing voter perspectives.
