Summary
Ocasio Cortez BACKFIRES On Bernie's Campaign As Her Views "Go Too Far," Sanders Staff Furious. Many on the left argued that impeachment was actually designed to hurt Bernie Sanders and not Donald Trump.
This argument actually makes some sense considering that Trump raised record funding and his approval rating is way up meanwhile Bernie was pulled off the campaign trail and forced to find a surrogate.
Bernie found his sub in Alexandria Ocasio Cortez who not only never said his name at his campaign rally but also claimed that Bernie wants to abolish ICE and CBP.
If we got rid of CBP we would effectively have open borders.
The Sanders camp was furious as Bernie has never called for such policies and Ocasio Cortez had gone "too far"
Now people are calling out Bernie as inconsistent and accusing him of flip flopping on immigration. Meanwhile powerful labor unions are calling out Bernie and he and AOC are forced to admit they may pull away from Medicare For All in favor of a public option.

| 0:00.0 | It appears that a rift is forming between Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, |
| 0:05.3 | someone he brought on to campaign with and for him because her positions are just too |
| 0:10.4 | extreme. |
| 0:11.4 | Now, many people on the left argued that the true purpose of Donald Trump's impeachment |
| 0:16.4 | was not to hurt Trump, but was in fact to hurt Bernie Sanders. |
| 0:20.9 | They argue a few things. |
| 0:21.9 | One impeachment really helped Trump erase tons of money as approval writing is up, everybody |
| 0:26.2 | hated it. |
| 0:27.4 | And it did pull Bernie Sanders off the campaign trail. |
| 0:30.6 | And as we can see, there is a strong effort to oppose Senator Sanders. |
| 0:34.8 | He's winning the popular vote basically for now. |
| 0:38.0 | But by getting off of the campaign trail and going and sitting as a juror in the impeachment |
| 0:42.0 | trial, he needed a surrogate to campaign on his behalf and that surrogate was Ocasio-Cortez |
| 0:46.8 | who made very extreme comments going beyond her normal rhetoric of abolishing ICE, saying |
| 0:52.8 | that Bernie Sanders is pledging to get rid of customs and border protection. |
| 0:57.9 | This was it, I commented on it saying, they are now overtly calling for open borders, the |
| 1:02.3 | reason being. |
| 1:03.5 | The arguments from the left the entire time about open borders was that it's not truly |
| 1:08.2 | open borders until they say there are no guards and anyone can walk freely across. |
| 1:13.6 | When you add all these things together, what do you get? |
| 1:15.6 | A moratorium on deportation, decriminalization of border crossings, and now AOC adding to |
