Apparently, not everyone is excited about rising political star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Democratic rep from New York’s 14th has had a target on her back put there by right-wingers for a while now, but a new report from The Hill indicates she may soon see pressure from another side: her own party.

"What I have recommended to the New York delegation is that you find her a primary opponent and make her a one-term congressperson," an anonymous Democratic lawmaker in the House told The Hill. "You've got numerous council people and state legislators who've been waiting 20 years for that seat. I'm sure they can find numerous people who want that seat in that district."

AOC addressed the idea that folks have been waiting two decades for her seat on Twitter, writing, “That broken mentality, that public office is something you wait in line for, instead of earning through hard organizing, is exactly what voters want to change. Shows you how disconnected some folks here are.”

Telling the folks in AOC’s state to start a campaign to unseat her may sound like the kind of cartoon-villain politics Ocasio-Cortez was elected to represent a change from, but there’s potentially some beef brewing among the moderate and progressive wings of the Democrats. The Hill reported that members of the New York delegation and Congressional Black Caucus were mad after a report that Justice Democrats — an org with ties to Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign — was seeking a primary opponent to challenge Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).

Jeffries is the number-four Dem in the House right now, and according to The Hill, some say he could eventually be Speaker of the House, a job others once thought would go the man AOC beat in her 2018 primary: Joe Crowley. But The Hill noted that Ocasio-Cortez and Justice Democrats denied the report that they were seeking to challenge Jeffries, and Jeffries told The Hill he can’t imagine his fellow members of Congress from New York going after AOC’s seat.

“I don’t think that is something the New York delegation would contemplate. As you can see, we are totally united behind each other,” Jeffries said. “The New York delegation sticks together.”

“There was nothing to work through,” he explained. “I haven’t seen a primary candidate emerge, so I assume when she denied it, she was correct that there was nothing to it.”

Jeffries may not have to worry about AOC working against him, but the Justice Democrats group is eyeing others in Congress. According to Vox, the group is “actively looking for contenders” to challenge Representative Henry Cuellar (D-TX), who has a relatively conservative voting record. It’s part of a broader project; the group’s communications director Waleed Shahid told Vox they are a “social democratic or democratic socialist party-within-a-party” and Vox characterized the group as willing to work within the system to create change.

Ocasio-Cortez is figuring out how to do just that now. After some early tension with Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), AOC stood by Pelosi in the vote for the House Speaker. More recently, she was the only Democrat to vote against the bill to reopen the government due to the fact that it provided funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). A previous vote by Ocasio-Cortez in favor of a spending bill that included ICE funds drew criticism given her support for the Abolish ICE movement.
