Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said during a podcast Thursday that she’s concerned about elites and cultural figures openly associating with President Donald Trump.
Numerous celebrities, including musicians and comedians, appeared at Trump’s inauguration on Monday. Ocasio-Cortez, on “The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart” said Trump being “much more normalized” in his second term makes him “so much more dangerous” than he was in his first term.
Trump’s inauguration also saw financial backing from Big Tech companies, some of which had previously banned him from their platforms.
Moreover, left-wing groups protesting Trump’s second presidency on Monday had plans to “fight back” with thousands of participants, but that’s not what occurred. Rather than the expected 10,000 protesters, the Daily Caller News Foundation observed a crowd of dozens standing in the snow and complaining about the icy weather against a backdrop of unused megaphones.
