In a move that highlights the complexities of progressive politics, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has issued a nuanced call to Wisconsin voters, urging them to judge state Rep. Francesca Hong on her current actions rather than her past positions on contentious issues like defunding the police. Ocasio-Cortez, a prominent member of the "Squad" of progressive lawmakers, stopped short of endorsing Hong, instead emphasizing the importance of evaluating a candidate based on their current stances and policies. The move suggests that Ocasio-Cortez is willing to adapt her approach to different contexts and candidates, even if it means deviating from her typical progressive rhetoric. As Hong seeks to make a name for herself in Wisconsin politics, Ocasio-Cortez's endorsement-free endorsement may prove to be a significant boost to her campaign.
"Squad" Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged Wisconsin voters to evaluate state Rep. Francesca Hong by her current stances rather than her past push for defunding the police and other woke positions, while refraining from endorsing her.
