0:00.0 | The Democratic Party is facing massive drama over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's victory over Joe Crowley. |
0:08.0 | What people don't seem to understand is that Cortez hasn't actually won a seat in Congress yet. |
0:14.1 | She has only defeated Crowley in the primary, and that means, come November, |
0:18.9 | Crowley could still win if people vote for him. She is accusing him of mounting a third party |
0:24.9 | campaign, even though he's saying he's not running. What's interesting is that after Cortez won, |

1:39.5 | On July 12th, Cortez tweeted, Rep Joe Crowley stated on live TV that he would absolutely support |
1:45.6 | my candidacy. Instead, he stood me up for all three scheduled concession calls. |
1:50.6 | Now he's mounting a third party challenge against me and the Democratic Party, |
