.@RepSeanMaloney on soon to be former colleague @AOC:
“The last time I ran into A.O.C., 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.”

nytimes.com/2022/11/10/nyr…
Before losing, Maloney faced a primary backed by AOC b/c he ran in a district where Mondaire Jones might have ran, all while running DCCC.

Says AOC “didn’t pay a $ of dues. Didn’t do anything for our frontline candidates except give them money when they didn’t want it from her”
