Golden and AOC: Team Abolish Prisons

As Democrats struggle to shed their pro-crime image, Jared Golden’s campaign donor Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is calling for the abolition of prisons.

At a rally in Ohio, Ocasio-Cortez said, “I want to abolish our carceral system that’s designed to trap Black and Brown men. I want justice.”

Jared Golden took $5,000 from the self-avowed socialist who wants to defund the police, abolish ICE, eliminate private health insurance, and now abolish prisons.  

NRCC Comment: “Since Jared Golden refused to return AOC’s campaign cash, he should tell Mainers whether he agrees with her proposal to abolish prisons and release convicted criminals into our communities.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Samantha Bullock
