AOC questions if Dems who oppose abortion rights should still serve

What they're saying: "If you live in a blue area, when people say ‘go vote,’ that should include primary elections too," she told her 8.5 million followers on Instagram.

• "Because the thing that a lot of people don't like to talk about is the fact that not every Democrat is pro-choice," she added.
• "So, the ones that aren't, we really need to reassess if it's appropriate for them to continue to serve in 2022, because people should have the right to control their own body. This is pretty basic."
• "That goes for the municipal level, it goes for the state level, it goes for the federal level."

The big picture: Ocasio-Cortez was critical of House leaders' decision to back Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Catholic who opposes abortion, in the recent Democratic primary race in Texas, in which he beat progressive Jessica Cisneros.
