Summary
Ocasio-Cortez Loses Top Staff, Democrats Slammed For Being "A Mess." Following a long couple of weeks of scandals involving the far left Democrats known as the squad, AOC Chief of Staff Saikat Chakrabarti is out as well as her spokesperson.
While Ocasio-Cortez's office painted this as a positive and planned circumstance some believe that this is the result of Saikat battling with establishment Democrats and causing chaos within the party.
If the latter is true it signals that AOC may be moving more towards establishment politics or at the very least circling the wagons and cutting the fat that may cause he trouble in the future.
Meanwhile high profile individuals such as Bill Maher and Chris Cuomo have criticized the 2020 Democratic candidates and the party for being being crazy, or "not having their heads on right"
As Democrats increasingly embrace far left types like AOC the split in the democratic party grows and the advantage held by Trump and the republicans will grow as well.

| 0:24.5 | has successfully played the Democrats off each other, made them fight, and then rally |
| 0:29.2 | around the far left progressive squad Democrats. These are people most Americans and swing states |
| 0:35.6 | don't like. I believe Trump knows what he's doing. A recently made a video addressing how |
| 0:40.9 | Trump had enacted new policies to restrict asylum for Central American migrants, |
| 0:45.4 | and then put out all of these tweets that immediately distracted everybody. |
| 0:49.3 | Now, the media was quick to point out the first ruse from Trump that he was trining the Democrats |
| 0:54.8 | to circle the wagons around unpopular politicians, Ilhan Omar and Ocasio-Cortez, |
