Summary

Conservatives are criticizing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for downplaying the "Woke 1" movement, which she helped champion, amid speculation about her 2028 presidential ambitions. Ocasio-Cortez, who previously made controversial statements on social media, suggested that the earlier 'woke' era was "crazy" but critics argue she and other progressives are trying to distance themselves from unpopular policies without changing their core beliefs.
