New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn\u2019t have much more to say about House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries meeting with President Trump\u2019s son-in-law other than agreeing that she finds it concerning.<\/p>\n

Jeffries had reportedly met privately with Jared Kushner to discuss common ground before the upcoming midterm elections, according to a late August report from The New York Times.<\/p>\n

AOC first responded to the report on Monday, saying, \u201cI think that what we\u2019d love to see as well with respect to Mr. Kushner is some transparency into his dealings and what he is doing with respect to his conflicts of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that what we really need right now is to focus on our plan for how we\u2019re going to help people\u2019s lives,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n

Jeffries has reportedly been nervous about the rising socialist movement within the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n

When Democrat Socialist AOC was asked by MediasTouch on the Capitol steps if she was still \u201cconcerned\u201d about the meeting between Jeffries and Kushner, she agreed that she was.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d she quipped before adding, \u201cI don\u2019t know what that was about.\u201d<\/p>\n

AOC is far from alone when it comes to Democrat anger aimed at Jeffries for going rogue. Here he is trying to explain himself to his angry base that isn\u2019t having it:<\/p>\n

\n

@RepJeffries<\/a> NEEDS TO STEP THE FUCK DOWN.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanna give you a little real talk \"\ud83e\udd21\" about this Jared Kushner situation\u2026<\/p>\n

PAUSE FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT \"\ud83e\udd21\"<\/p>\n

He asked\u2026 for a meeting\u2026 so I took it. To talk\u2026 about the affordability \"\ud83e\udd21\" crisis that exists and is not a hoax\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Jeffries, he may be doing damage control for defying the radical base of his party:<\/p>\n

\n

\"\ud83d\udea8\" JUST IN: Hakeem Jeffries\u2019 Democrat Leaders are meeting RIGHT NOW to decide on PUNISHING these two House Democrats because they \u201cblindsided\u201d Hakeem, by voting YEA on Speaker Johnson\u2019s rule that teed up a vote to condemn socialism<\/p>\n

LOL!! Hakeem is melting down! \"\ud83d\ude02\"<\/p>\n
