Veteran Wall Street investor Marty Dolan is confident that he can unseat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., saying New Yorkers are dissatisfied with 'radicals' in charge.
Veteran Wall Street investor Marty Dolan explained to Fox News on Friday why he is running to unseat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in her New York district, telling Fox News Channel anchor Lawrence Jones that her policies have led to New Yorkers feeling unsafe. When asked why he’s running, Dolan held up the cover of the New York Post and read its large letters, 'HELL RIDE.' The article explained how dangerous riding the city’s subway system has become due to rampant crime.
Dolan, who is challenging AOC as a Democrat, added, 'This is what you're getting in the subways. This is what you're getting in the streets. You're getting a complete lack of confidence and comfort in what's supposed to be the best city in the world. So, the standards have just gotten too low, and things have slipped.' 'And enough is enough,' he declared.
He responded by calling himself a 'moderate Democrat' and continued, describing how 'radicals' seem to have too much power in the party. Dolan said, 'And you hit the nail on the head, which is, the left wing of the left side of the Democratic Party is too far on the left. It's that simple. So, the airplane is not flying straight. It's tilted over here. The radicals have outweighed their influence in the party.
