TBF, I wouldn't say she endorsed him. She condemned his opponent and called her antisemetic for wanting to put Zionists and pedophiles in camps. You certainly could say that is an endorsement but it just proves that AOC has just turned into is just another a milquetoast liberal politician.

    So I tried to look up Johnny Garcia's pro-ICE and pro-Israel comments and I can't find shit

    You know what I did find? Google is actively rerouting all queries about Garcia to hit pieces about Maureen Gilindo

    This shit is fuckin wild

    Johnny Garcia firmly supports a strong U.S.-Israel relationship and has been endorsed by the Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI) PAC. He explicitly labeled Hamas a terrorist organization and argued that Israel must remain safe and capable of self-defense.

    To DSA's credit, they mostly fucking hate her now, too. Rashida Talib even got a standing ovation during her speech at the recent national convention for trashing AOCs "defensive weapons for Israel" position

    That said, AOC really puts DSA in a bind, because she was elected before DSA had really decided on any discipline for its electeds, and she comes out of a non-profit organizing world which insulates her from the org, and from her constituents. She's also something of an opportunist. So, DSA both wants to distance themselves from her, and not punish her hard enough that libs could seize on an image of leftist infighting.

    Anyway, this is why party discipline is important, folks!
