If this is what she got for her support of Israel and ‘working within the party’, then I think she might have been taken for a ride

She is right. Divide and conquer is a super effective strategy, the left loves doing the divide part to itself then acts shocked when it gets conquered.

Unfortunately not the first time AOC’s “learned” this lesson. See? She is a great Dem, learn nothing and do it again.
