Looks like AOC is having another one of her classic Twitter meltdowns—this time, over the fact that the Teamsters Union didn’t roll over and endorse her beloved Kamala Harris for 2024. Yep, you read that right: the Teamsters, a union that’s historically cozied up with the Democrats, decided not to endorse anyone. And here’s the kicker—turns out their members overwhelmingly support Trump. I can just hear the collective gasp from Brooklyn.
So, what does AOC do? Naturally, she hops on Twitter, or X, or whatever Elon Musk is calling it these days, and starts throwing a fit. In typical Ocasio-Cortez fashion, she accused the Teamsters and their president, Sean O’Brien, of running to the Democrats when they need help “at the negotiating table.” You know, because clearly, in her mind, everyone should bow down to the Democrats, even though her own constituents are inching further to the right by the minute.
Sean O’Brien has been boosting Republicans all year while supporting anti-worker, anti-choice Senate candidates.
Meanwhile, @KamalaHarris cast the tie-breaking vote to save Teamster pensions nationwide.
Listen to your local.
They know the score.

But O’Brien wasn’t having any of her nonsense. He took to CNN, of all places, to basically tell AOC to sit down and be quiet. He pointed out that it was actually Biden and the former Secretary of Labor who were calling the Teamsters, not the other way around, during some of their more heated negotiations. Ouch. He didn’t stop there, though. He also advised AOC to “focus on her job” and maybe spend some time figuring out why her district is voting Republican. You know, small things like doing your job and representing the people who elected you.

O’Brien’s advice couldn’t be more on point. When was the last time AOC did anything for the people in her district? It seems like she’s too busy playing Twitter warrior and crafting Instagram-worthy socialist sound bites to actually pay attention to the fact that her own voters are turning their backs on her. Oh, and let’s not forget that she’s so far left, she makes Bernie look like a moderate.
Instead of throwing tantrums over unions daring to not endorse her party’s failing candidates, maybe she should take a good, hard look at why so many working-class Americans—union members included—are flocking to Trump. Spoiler alert: it’s because they’re tired of the left’s out-of-touch policies that prioritize virtue signaling over real solutions.
But let’s be honest—self-reflection isn’t exactly AOC’s strong suit. She’s more likely to double down on the drama and come up with some new way to blame everyone but herself. Classic AOC.
