Her chief challenger in Tuesday’s primary was Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, a former CNBC anchor who was a registered Republican until a few years ago. The 30-year-old Ocasio-Cortez has been one of the most well-known voices of the American political left since her 2018 victory.

Her district in Queens and the Bronx was among the places hit hardest by the coronavirus, which made traditional campaigning impossible over the past three months.

If G-d forbid Trump loses in November; the United States as we know it will cease to exist. And our community should make sure that their passports are current. The BLM thugs reminded me of the Brownshirts in Germany in the 30’s. There will be no place in this Country for Jews.
