Apologized to Conor Lamb".

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York reached out publicly to apologize to fellow Democrat and former U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb.

March 21, 2025

In a post on the social media platform X, AOC tweeted a response to Lamb’s post critiquing Democrat Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman. Lamb, of Mt. Lebanon, lost to Fetterman in the 2022 Senate primary. Fetterman won the seat that November.

Fetterman has been angering some Democrats with some of his political positions, described by many as centrist. He has also expressed openness to working with President Donald Trump.


“I was wrong about you and I’m sorry,” the post from Ocasio-Cortez directed at Lamb reads. “Where do I submit my Conor Lamb apology form.”

Lamb replied to AOC’s apology in the thread:

“No need — clearly we have been on the same side of the oligarchy question (against) and protecting Social Security and Medicare (for) …. let’s make that team as big as possible. Good luck on the road,” his reply reads.

AOC then replied again:

“Amen. Thank you for all you do and let’s go get ‘em ❤️,” she wrote.
