Henry Cuellar Tells Progressives To SHUT UP About His Corruption

Corporate shill Rep. Henry Cuellar fired shots at AOC and her progressive colleagues, telling them to leave him alone and fold in with the conservative branch of the Democratic Party. What Cuellar didn’t mention was that he’s anti-choice, pro-Second Amendment, and is currently under investigation by the FBI for shady dealings with an Azerbaijani oil company. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

"Rep. Henry Cuellar, a south Texas Democrat who narrowly survived a bruising primary challenge this month, lashed out at AOC and other progressives in an exclusive interview — insisting it's time for his party to "let me be me."

Why it matters: Cuellar's nail-biter primary against Jessica Cisneros reflects a broader fight between moderates and progressives about the direction of the Democratic Party.

Cuellar said progressives' demands for the party to move left on immigration, gun rights and other issues risk big losses in November and beyond — and that Democrats must leave room for lawmakers representing centrist or conservative districts to take positions that diverge from the new party orthodoxy.

He also said he's worried that Democrats may lose the open seat in south Texas — currently held by Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D), who is running in a neighboring district — to a Republican in November."
