AOC, Squad under fire as Dems reject their 'deeply problematic' agenda
Fox News
The far-left policies of the Squad are making the midterm election season even tougher for Democrats and putting swing-district moderates in peril, according to some Democrats.
"We have been kind of shouting this from the rooftops since the 2020 election," said Matt Bennett, executive vice president of the center-left Third Way and co-founder of Shield PAC, which launched last year to defend moderate Democrats.
He said the 2020 election was a wake-up call when Democrats lost 14 House seats and issues like "defund the police" were the center of GOP attacks. And the 2021 Virginia governor's race was another example of far-left policies backfiring when Republicans put critical race theory and school covid policies center stage – propelling Republican Glenn Youngkin to victory.
