AOC Rips GOP “Cult of Personality,” Says Trump-Centered Party Is Splintering Over Tax Credits

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is weighing in on the GOP’s internal fights over tax credits — and she says the real issue runs much deeper. In a new interview, AOC describes “a lot of fissures in their caucus and fault lines,” arguing the Republican Party is now organized around a personality, not principles. She says the party’s “main principle is supporting Donald Trump,” which turns disagreements into personal drama instead of real ideological debate. According to AOC, when a party becomes a “cult of personality,” it drifts further away from the lives of working people and more into lawmakers “poking their fingers in each other’s eyes” and trying to score points on one another.
