During a recent appearance on CNN, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was clearly distraught while describing the very real possibility of a Trump victory. The far-left congresswoman warned that Trump being democratically elected by the people would ensure the end of Democracy, adding "it's not a joke."
"We need to understand what we are staring down in this country. If Donald Trump is elected president of the United States, we do not know if there will be a verifiable next election that has integrity," she said. "He already tried to, we saw on January 6th, he tried to overturn the results of a presidential election by force, by inciting a riot. And I, you know, I think we need to be very, very realistic about the grave, grave impacts of a Donald Trump election. It is not a joke."
"It is not a game. It is not a game. We need to protect our democracy and ideally it's going to be on progressive values," the "squad" Democrat continued.

Elsewhere in the interview, Ocasio-Cortez was asked about concerns over President Biden's age and mental fitness. According to January's Harvard/CAPS Harris poll , 63 percent of registered voters said they have "doubts" about Biden's mental fitness and ability to run the country. An additional 69 percent of respondents said Biden is too old to be president.
When asked about voter concerns, Ocasio-Cortez attempted to spin the question on Trump. "I mean, I think right now, when it comes to the President’s age, folks are talking about how he’s 81 But we have to look at first of all, Donald Trump is around the same age of 77 years old, they could have gone to high school together," she said.
"And beyond that, Donald Trump has 91 indictments. And what I know who I’m going to choose is going to be the one of the most successful presidents in modern American history."
