Michael Moore says Dems need to accept far-left Ocasio-Cortez as party leader: 'No middle ground anymore'Fox News, Feb 3, 2019, Louis Casiano
Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore declared U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the new leader of the Democratic Party, while urging political moderates to take a position because there “is no middle ground anymore.â€
“She is the leader. Everybody knows it. Everybody feels it,†Moore said of the freshman congresswoman from New York during a Friday interview on MSNBC.
Moore said the age requirement to run for president - 35 - should be constitutionally amended so that Ocasio-Cortez could make a play for the White House. He said Ocasio-Cortez is the leader of a movement, citing a Fox News poll that showed voters favored her proposal to increase the tax rate to 70 percent for the richest Americans.
Moore also urged those with moderate views to “take a position,†in response to a question about whether someone like Ocasio-Cortez, with very progressive politics, could turn off moderates.
"If you're being moderate, stop being moderate. Take a position,†Moore responded. “There's no middle ground anymore. There's no halfway point to should somebody be paid a living wage. 'Well, I'm a moderate so I think they could be paid half of that living wage.'
