Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) issued a call for donations from her supporters on Thursday following a pro-Israel activist’s apparent threat to organize against her and two fellow Democrats.
In an email to supporters who funded her successful congressional bid with a wave of small-dollar donations, Ocasio-Cortez conveyed a line from an interview that American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) activist Stephen Fiske gave to The New York Times in which Fiske predicted that Ocasio-Cortez, as well as Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), would be leaving Congress sooner rather than later.
“They are three people who, in my opinion, will not be around in several years,” Fiske told the Times.
