15. "We have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up..."

While I have a good deal of respect for Ocasio-Cortez, that sounds like a self-serving statement. It seems to me the redistricting campaigns were independent decisions by Democratic governors. I think Newsom, regardless of what you think about him would have something to say about her framing.

As a side note, Newsom has also thrown the party under the bus with a past statement or two.
