(SNews) – CNN host Chris Wallace folded for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and remained silent while the radical Democrat congresswoman told him that she’s not “extreme” like “the Republican side.”
The former Fox News star sat down with the far-left socialist lawmaker for his new show “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace” on HBO Max.
During a new interview with Ocasio-Cortez, Wallace asked if she agreed that “people want both parties to move from the fringes, from the extremes back to the center?”
AOC replied: “I think a lot of people in this country may say yes, but it’s important for us to dig into the substance of what that actually means.
“As someone who is often, I think, characterized as extreme.
“I, of course, would object to that I do not believe that I am as extreme, in the way that Marjorie Taylor Greene on the Republican side is extreme.
“The idea that there is an equating of believing in someone who believes in guaranteed universal health care in the United States was someone who believes that undocumented people should incur physical harm are somehow in the same level of extreme is something that I would object to.”
Wallace didn’t dispute AOC’s claims and continued with his gushing questions.
As Slay News reported, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chair Sean Patrick Maloney suffered a stunning loss on Tuesday.
After his crushing loss, Maloney lashed out at AOC for failing to help House Democrats hold their seats in the elections.
“The last time I ran into AOC, we were beating her endorsed candidate two to one in a primary, and I didn’t see her one minute of these midterms helping our House majority.
“So, I’m not sure what kind of advice she has, but I’m sure she’ll be generous with it.
“But let’s be clear, she had almost nothing to do with what turned out to be a historic defense of our majority.
“Didn’t pay a dollar of dues.
“Didn’t do anything for our frontline candidates except give them money when they didn’t want it from her.
“There are other voices who should be heard, especially when suburban voters have clearly rejected the ideas that she’s most associated with, from defunding the police on down.
“She’s an important voice in our politics,” Maloney said.
“But when it comes to passing our agenda through the Congress, or standing our ground on the political battlefield, she was nowhere to be found.”

(SNews) – A second dead Democrat candidate has stormed to victory with a landslide win in their election.
Tennessee state Rep. Barbara Cooper, a Democrat, died on October 25 at the age of 93, two weeks before Election Day.
According to WATN, election officials were unable to remove Cooper’s name from the ballot following her “unexpected” death.
Despite her well-publicized death, Democrat Cooper crushed her opponent, independent Michael Porter, by 7,999 votes to 2,942, according to WHBQ.
Cooper had represented the 86th state House district for 26 years, according to WSMV.
Officials argue that people voted for Copper on Election Day because they were unaware of her passing, despite apparently being her supporters.
In Tennessee, voters can only vote by mail if they have a “statutory reason.”
Those reasons include age, absence from the country, jury duty, physical disability, and so forth, according to the Tennessee secretary of state’s website.
However, you can also vote early in person for no reason at all, typically up to 20 days prior to the election, “purely for the sake of convenience.”
Early voting this year began on October 19, six days before Cooper’s death.
There is probably no way ever to know exactly how many of the ballots cast in this race were cast in this 6-day window prior to Oct. 25 “purely for the sake of convenience.”
It’s also unknown how many were cast on Election Day itself by voters who didn’t know about the death of their favorite candidate because Cooper’s name remained on the ballot.
Either way, Cooper’s 7,999 votes accounted for almost 80% of the entire ballots cast in her election.
The Shelby County Election Commission told WATN that Cooper’s name remained on the Shelby County ballot “as mandated by state law.”
“I am deeply saddened by the passing of my longtime colleague and dear friend, Barbara Cooper,” House Minority Leader Karen Camper told WSMV.
“She was a warrior for her community and the City of Memphis, a tireless advocate on education and equality issues, and just a delightful person.
“We will all miss her,” she added.
Since Cooper obviously cannot serve, Tennessee’s Republican Gov. Bill Lee will now have to issue a Writ of Election to set the date for a special election to fill her seat.
Cooper’s win is the second election victory for a dead Democrat candidate during this year’s midterms.
As Slay News reported Wednesday, Democrat Tony DeLuca won his election by a landslide in Pennsylvania, despite having died last month.
DeLuca was the longest-serving member of the Pennsylvania state House of Representatives and won his reelection by a huge margin on Tuesday.
DeLuca won with 86% of the vote compared to Green Party challenger Queonia “Zarah” Livingston’s 14%.
However, DeLuca died on October 9 at age 85 after battling lymphoma.
Pennsylvania Democrats argue that voters cast their ballots for a dead candidate because they wanted to celebrate DeLuca’s “Democratic values.”
“While we’re incredibly saddened by the loss of Representative Tony DeLuca, we are proud to see the voters to continue to show their confidence in him and his commitment to Democratic values by re-electing him posthumously,” the Pennsylvania House Democrats said in a statement.

“Don’t blame them, blame those who put them there.”
(CBrief) – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis managed to pull off a landslide victory on Tuesday over Democratic challenger Charlie Crist, himself a one-term Sunshine State governor who defected to the opposition party.
In his victory speech Tuesday evening with wife Casey DeSantis at his side, the popular governor, who won by nearly 20 points, laid out his vision for the future as well as why he believes he won so convincingly.
“We made promises to the people of Florida and we have delivered on those promises. And so today, after four years, the people have delivered their verdict. Freedom is here to stay,” DeSantis said. “Now, thanks to the overwhelming support of the people of Florida, we not only won election, we have rewritten the political map. Thank you for honoring us with a win for the ages.”
He went on to point out that his emphasis on keeping the state open and functioning as much as possible, especially during the pandemic, led to historic numbers of Americans relocating there, and many of them, if not most, registering as Republicans.
“Now this great exodus of Americans, for those folks, Florida for so many of them, has served as the promised land,” DeSantis said. “We have embraced freedom. We have maintained law and order. We have protected the rights of parents. We have respected our taxpayers and we reject woke ideology. We fight the woke in the legislature, we fight the woke in the schools, we fight the woke in the corporations, we will never ever surrender to the woke mob. Florida is where woke goes to die!”
“People have come here because our policies work,” DeSantis went on. “Leadership matters. We refuse to use polls and put our finger in the wind. Leaders don’t follow, they lead. We set out a vision. We executed on that vision. And we produced historic results, and the people of this state have responded in record fashion. Now while our country flounders due to failed leadership in Washington, Florida is on the right track.
“I believe the survival of the American experiment requires a revival of true American principles. Florida has proved that it can be done. We offer a ray of hope that better days still lie ahead. I am proud of our achievements in this state. I am honored by your support, and I look forward to the road ahead. I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race in this first term. And I have kept the faith. We’ve accomplished more than anybody thought possible four years ago, but we’ve got so much more to do and I have only begun to fight,” he concluded.
DeSantis was in a terrific place heading into Tuesday night after raising a record-breaking $200 million for his re-election campaign. By comparison, Crist only raised around $31 million, Politico reported. DeSantis has only spent around $100,000 on his campaign which means he still has around $90 million left in the bank.

Politico believes that the extra $90 million could be used for a possible 2024 presidential campaign.
“If you look at where the money is coming from, it’s indicative of Gov. DeSantis being seen by national donors as the de facto frontrunner for president,” Republican lobbyist Slater Bayliss said.
“I think people on the left do not think their candidates sell out, and on the right we think ours cut deals, and are more pragmatic,” he said. “Former President Trump’s whole brand on the Republican side was that he does not sell out.”
“Gov. DeSantis has built on that,” he said, “And is taken more seriously by many Republican donors.”
Politico added:
Other governors who have taken in massive hauls in recent election cycles include self-financers like Meg Whitman, whose $176 million during the 2010 California gubernatorial campaign included $144 million of her own money. Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker nearly entirely self-funded his $176 million 2018 campaign and $133 million reelection bid.
“It has long been said that ‘money is the mother’s milk of politics,’” Florida Republican consultant David Johnson said. “The DeSantis team has built a national dairy farm to table operation in just four years. We have seen large networked donor operations on a grand scale operate in the past, to some great effect.”
“Team DeSantis is more notable because it is small, fierce and reaping such huge amounts,” he said.

(SNews) – Arizona’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has warned her opponents that she will “not be intimidated” after her campaign office has come under attack.
As Slay News reported, Lake headquarters in Phoenix was shut down on Sunday after a package containing a “suspicious white powder” was received in the mail.
The FBI, local law enforcement, the fire department, and the bomb squad responded to the incident immediately.
During an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday night, Lake revealed that the package also contained “incredibly vulgar and threatening” letters.
Lake, one of the stars of this year’s election cycle, revealed that her staff also received threats.
However, Lake warns that she will not allow bad actors to intimidate her with politically-motivated attacks against her campaign.
Multiple envelopes were retrieved by law enforcement for analysis, but the results have not yet been shared with her, she said.
“We had delivered at our office a couple of envelopes that had white powder in them, one of them our staffer opened up and immediately realized there was a problem with it, threw it in the garbage can, and then another staffer grabbed it from the garbage can and then all of a sudden we had several people exposed to it,” Lake told Carlson.
The suspicious powder was accompanied by threatening letters, Lake revealed.
“We take it as a legitimate threat, but we’re just happy our staffers are okay,” she said.
Lake added that while she’s been busy on the campaign trail in the waning hours before Election Day, she has been regularly monitoring the health of her exposed staffers.
“So far, so good, but we are counting on the FBI to let us know if we should be concerned of any danger,” she said.
While Lake found the attack against her campaign disturbing, she appeared unfazed, telling Carlson that she’s bracing for “much more” if she wins the governorship in today’s election.
“I’ll be honest, this is minor compared to what I’m going to go up against when I win this race,” she told Carlson.
“We are going to secure the border and take down the cartels at the border. I don’t think threatening letters are going to be the worst of it.
“I think there’s much more coming.”
If elected, Lake said she will not allow herself to cave to intimation tactics, vowing to remain steadfast in fulfilling her campaign promises for Arizona voters.
“We are ready for it. We will not be intimidated. We have big issues facing us, we have a border with narco-terrorists in control,” she said.
“And while I’m upset that these letters were sent, and I’m monitoring and care deeply about my staff, I know that there will be more threats to come, and we will stare them down because we will secure Arizona.”
Lake’s comments come less than 24 hours before the former local news anchor turned staunch critic of the press, will face off against Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs in the Arizona race for governor.
Last week, police responded to a reported break-in at Hobbs’ campaign headquarters in Phoenix.
Hobbs initially blamed Lake’s rhetoric, but it was later revealed that an illegal immigrant, 36-year-old Daniel Mota Dos, was arrested in the burglary case.
As Slay News reported, Lake warned her supporters last week that she’s “not suicidal” after finding herself in the crossfires of Hillary Clinton.
Clinton told MSNBC’s Joy Reid that “the level of, just plain crazy, violent, hate rhetoric coming out of Republicans, you played something from the Republican candidate for governor in Arizona.
“I want viewers, I want voters to stop and to ask themselves, would we trust somebody who is stirring up these violent feelings, who is pointing fingers, scapegoating, making a joke about a violent attack on Paul Pelosi?
“Why would you trust that person to have power over you, your family, your business, your community?” Clinton said.
Lake fired back at Hillary during an interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity.
She joked that she “was a little concerned today when I saw Hillary Clinton badmouthing me.
“She looked angry and actually scared.
“Just, completely unrelated, I want you to know, just in case you’re wondering, I’m in perfect health, my brakes on my car are in good shape, and I’m not suicidal.
“And we’re going to win this thing on Tuesday,” Lake added.

(SNews) – A registered Democrat has been arrested by authorities in Colorado after the suspect was caught tempering with voting machines using a USB thumb drive.
31-year-old Richard Patton, of Pueblo, CO, was arrested on election crime charges Thursday morning after he was caught inserting the USB drive into a voting machine.
Patton was arrested without incident on suspicion of committing a voter crime during the primary election in June.
“On the afternoon of June 28, poll workers heard noises coming from a voting booth,” CBS News reported.
“When a poll worker went to investigate and clean the machine, they saw an error message and notified a supervisor.
“Tamper-evident seals on the machine appeared to be disturbed, the secretary’s office said.
“The machine was immediately taken out of service for investigation.”
ABC News reported, “Election officials in Colorado use locks and tamper-evident seals on voting equipment, so it becomes apparent if someone has tried to access it.
“Trigger alerts make machines inoperable if someone tries to tamper with them.”
Local authorities were informed of a “potential breach to a voting system” at a voting station in Pueblo, Colorado.
CBS News reported that Patton allegedly inserted a “USB thumb drive into a voting machine at a polling station during the primary election in June, authorities said.”
Patton did vote on that day, officials confirmed.
According to Gilbert Ortiz, Pueblo County’s clerk and recorder, Patton was identified because he presented his driver’s license as identification to poll workers before he voted.
The Pueblo Police Department said in a statement, “Detectives from the Pueblo Police Department High-Tech Crime Unit were able to identify 31-year-old, Richard Patton as the suspect that attempted to tamper with the voting station.”
“We would like to assure the community that all voter safeguards put in place to protect the voter process were successful,” the Pueblo Police Department noted.
“No information has been found to be breached at this time.”
The Pueblo Police Department said Patton was booked on charges of tampering with voting equipment, a felony, and cybercrime-unauthorized access, a misdemeanor.
He was being held without bond at the Pueblo County Judicial Center.
Patton has been a registered Democratic Party voter since 2019, according to the Pueblo County’s clerk and recorder.
He switched his affiliation to the Democrats from the Green Party.
