  • They chose a centrist moderate Democrat over Francesca Hong, a DSA candidate

  • whose campaign prompted both real excitement and also laughter, eye rolling and some outrage

  • when old statements were drug up like the one where she seemed a little uncomfortable with her half-white son.

  • This reminded people of a time in which many Democrats arguably just did too much, sometimes in kente cloth.

  • AOC seemed to acknowledge that on ABC's This Week.

  • I have a local city councilman that has this saying, woke one was crazy.

  • But is saying it enough, or will bad tweets and takes continue to haunt Democrats?

  • We're going to ask, coming up on Today Explained from Fox.
