“We’ve turned the Republican Party into a working-class party,” the former Breitbart News executive chairman told The Guardian in a sit-down interview published Tuesday.

“Now, interestingly, we don’t have any elected representatives who believe that, but that’s a legacy issue. We’ll get over that," he added. "We’ve got to find our AOCs.”

Ocasio-Cortez, a 30-year-old former bartender from the Bronx, was elected to Congress in 2018 after running a strong grassroots campaign and defeating a powerful establishment Democrat in the race's primary.

Bannon said that Democrats had "better casting” in last year's midterms, leading to the party regaining control in the House.

“They did an amazing job in '18. I keep saying I admire AOC," he said.

"I think her ideology’s all f----d up, but I want her. I want to recruit bartenders. I don’t want to recruit any more lawyers. I want bartenders.”
