<\/p>\nRUSH: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said yesterday on CNN\u2019s State of the Union that it was critically important for Joe Biden to give progressives like Bernie Sanders a cabinet position if he is elected president. Now, Jake Tapper was the anchor, said, “Politico is reporting that Senator Sanders has expressed an interest in being Biden\u2019s labor secretary if Biden wins the White House. How crucial is it to the progressive movement that Biden offer an important position to Bernie in a Biden cabinet? Should that happen, should Biden win?”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, “Well, I think it\u2019s extremely important. I think what a lot of people kind of misunderstand about the progressive movement is, it wasn\u2019t a slogan when Bernie ran saying ‘not me, us,\u2019 and so it\u2019s not just about where Bernie Sanders is next term or what role that Sanders is playing, but really it\u2019s about who the Biden administration is choosing to lead agencies across the board.”<\/p>\n
So it is, according to her — and many people think she\u2019s really one of the series of powers behind the throne — that it is important that Biden appoint Bernie to the cabinet. This is kind of like, “You better do it, dude, or else,” because they are all of the impression that Biden won\u2019t even be the nominee were it not for Bernie, were it not for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez further said on the same CNN show yesterday that young Americans are gonna vote for Biden not because he\u2019s their favorite person, but because they believe they can more easily sway him to act in their interests because Biden will be receptive to their advocacy, activism, and protest. He\u2019s not even gonna know.<\/p>\n
So, anyway, this, to me, is fascinatingly interesting. Because what we have here is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on CNN yesterday explaining how she is largely going to be telling Joe Biden what to do and who to put in the cabinet. And this is exactly what I have meant when I\u2019ve talked about, who are these people behind Biden who are not running, whose faces are not on any campaign posters or what have you? They\u2019re not running, they\u2019re not raising any money, but they are the powers behind the throne.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
And she clearly believes that she happens to be one of those people. And I don\u2019t doubt it for a minute. And she has obviously been granted that power from Crazy Bernie. And you can see that Biden is falling in line here by saying climate change, number-one issue facing humanity. It\u2019s an issue nobody cares about. But yet it is the number-one — and you know why?<\/p>\n
Because climate change, as I have said, contains every little other issue that the left in this country cares about. Climate change soaks up everything, what you eat, what you don\u2019t eat, what you drive, what you don\u2019t drive, what you watch, what you say, what you think, all of it is contained within climate change. From their standpoint, the beauty of it is how all-encompassing it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
