Jessica Tarlov, the Democrat operative who is also a FOX News contributor and regular guest host on The Five, is now trying to claim that far left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a moderate.
Tarlov made the comments while appearing on the Scott Galloway podcast, where they were discussing the current slate of far left candidates running in this cycle.
She also claims that Republicans in Washington, DC love AOC, which is news to us.
Townhall has details:
Yesterday, Townhall reported that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined Jon Karl to laugh about how awful “Woke One” was, as if neither of them had anything to do with it. That’s all part of the plan to make AOC seem like a moderate compared to her socialist brethren, and Jessica Tarlov gave away the game.
“I mean, she is, now compared to the real core DSA wing, like the far, far-left stuff, like, the Darializa [Avila Chevalier], AOC is a moderate Dem on a comparative basis,” Tarlov said.
“She’s very good and Republicans, I’m not saying voters, her relationship with Republicans on the Hill, I think is one of her most under-discussed and most important qualities,” she continued. “People genuinely like her and I think it’s good. Listen to Tim Burchette, for instance, super conservative representative, loves AOC. You cannot get him to say a bad word about her. So, you know, she’s got it.”
That sound you hear is the Overton window being shifted.

Scott Galloway agrees that this is a “fair point.”
AOC is a member of NYC DSA.

Consider this a preview of the 2028 election.
If AOC runs for president, as many expect she will, the media will go into overdrive to normalize her and make her appear to be a moderate, despite the mountain of crazy things she has supported and said over the years.
The media’s treatment of her as a presidential candidate will make what they did with Obama in 2008 look like nothing.
