A Democrat strategist who appeared on Newsmax said that New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is part of what he called an “OnlyFans culture” who lacks broad appeal among voters.
Democratic strategist Julian Epstein spoke to Newsmax host Rob Finnerty this weekend, where he criticized the New York Democrat for not appealing to the voters that would be needed to get elected to more than the House of Representatives.
“I think she’s got incredible appeal within the progressive bubble. But I don’t think she has broad appeal beyond that. I don’t think she has appealed to the centrists of the party and certainly not a majority of the American electorate,” he said.
He said that the Democrat Party of 2025 is “no longer responding to voters.”
“AOC highlights what I think is becoming the culture, which is it’s becoming an OnlyFans type of culture,” the strategist said.
“These politicians are interested in appealing increasingly to a narrow cast of online activists, donors, foundations, activists who will all exalt them as heroes within the progressive movement, all of whom depend on this identity grievance politics, but it doesn’t have broad appeal,” he said.
The New York Democrat has accompanied Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on the “Fight Oligarchy” tour, where they have spoken to massive crowds, though many of the attendees have gone to multiple events.
“I think while she’s very popular within progressive activist circles, I don’t see the appeal being wider than that,” he said.
Even famed Democrat strategist James Carville poured cold water on the tour when he spoke to NewsNation host Chris Cuomo.
“Let me make a point about Bernie and AOC. Bernie’s run for president twice. He’s lost twice. AOC and her kind, and this guy, David Hogg, they want to run against other Democrats. They don’t run against Republicans. When you beat a Republican, come back and see me, and I will be impressed!” he said.
