From the October 30 edition of Fox Business' Mornings with Maria Bartiromo:

DAGEN MCDOWELL (FOX BUSINESS ANCHOR): So many Democrats have fallen into the trap of identity politics. I would argue that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gets all of the support that she does because she's a woman, and if a main -- if a prominent Democrat doesn't support her, they get called names. They get called a sexist. People experience that all over.
