Lieberman: If Ocasio-Cortez is the future of the Dems, it doesn't have much of a future

FMR. SEN. JOE LIEBERMAN (I-CT): Really the point was, what is the Democratic party going to be? I am still a Democrat and when I see somebody that really says she is a Socialist, she is a very charismatic, captivating candidate but if you look at the policies, those are not policies that will be supported very many places across America.

As I said in the column in the Wall Street Journal today, she didn’t talk too much about foreign policy during the campaign.

It is very pro-socialist around the world…. Let me put it this way, it is too quick to criticize Israel so she during the campaign actually said at one point that the Israeli action to defend against the massing of troops on the border in Gaza by Hamas, was a massacre. That is very hot language and not fair.
