There are two things we can always count on the Democrats for, one, to obstruct the policies of President Trump in any way that they can, and two, to turn on themselves.
The fractures in the party are growing wider, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., once again threw shade at freshman Democratic Reps like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., downplaying the amount of power they have amassed amid a flurry of attention given to them by the media.
“All these people have their public whatever and their Twitter world,” Pelosi said of Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.
Her comments came during a New York Times interview after those four voted against a Republican measure funding humanitarian assistance at the border — something Pelosi eventually backed amid reports of poor conditions at migrant holding facilities.
Pelosi followed her Twitter comments, saying “But they didn’t have any following. They’re four people and that’s how many votes they got.”
Pushing the Party to the Left
Those four freshman congressmen, leaders of the so-called progressive wing of the Democratic Party, have been pushing the party to the left on a number of major issues, including immigration. As Congress was weighing whether to pass that multi-billion dollar spending package, each of the four signed onto a statement accusing immigration enforcement officials of “killing” children.
“These radicalized, criminal agencies are destroying families and killing innocent children,” the statement read. The freshman lawmakers argued that it was “unconscionable” to provide additional funding for both Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as Customs and Border Protection.
After the bill passed both chambers, Ocasio-Cortez lamented the fact that politicians rejected amendments she said would provide accountability for how immigration enforcement spent federal funds.
Her comments appeared to highlight a growing divide between more moderate members and progressive newcomers in the party. Pelosi told the Times that she was, unfazed by the political in-fighting telling the Times, dismissively, “If the left doesn’t think I’m left enough, so be it.”
“As I say to these people, come to my basement. I have these signs about single-payer from 30 years ago. I understand what they’re saying. But we have a responsibility to get something done, which is different from advocacy. We have to have a solution, not just a Twitter fight,” she reportedly said.
This wasn’t the first time Pelosi has knocked Ocasio-Cortez either. Back in April, she similarly seemed to remark that Ocasio-Cortez’s massive Twitter following didn’t necessarily translate into political power.
“While there are people who have a large number of Twitter followers, what’s important is that we have large numbers of votes on the floor of the House,” she said.
Who will the Demoncrats put up next? Laurel and Hardy? Never mind. They’re dead. Next?
Why are we so concerned about the illegals living conditions we have thousands of veterans living in the street plus others Americans Nancy and her party. Need to get off their bull and take care iansrucsb first
Progressive Liberals Democrat accusing ANYONE of destroying families????? Have they looked in mirrors lately????? Or don’t they consider their activities over the past 50-60 years and the DEVASTATING results on black families as destructive?????

The far-left positions of the major presidential candidates will ultimately lead to the reelection of DJT.

right on!
are you scared?
It’s sad in a way to see how out of touch the Dems have become. Lets pray that the voters will replace a large number of them in 2020. Maybe it will bring them down to earth…
As much as I dislike Pelosi, I have to say that she would have told white bratty freshmen idiots the same thing. There are no racist leanings on her part at all. After all, doesn’t she want to “make America brown”?
Nancy Pelosi deserves respect as all our elected Officials deserve respect for their position, AOC and her “squad” as they are calling themselves is not a high school club or group of kids who hang together. They try to be bullies. My granddaughter calls her group of friends a squad & she is in grade school. Grow up. I am sure you suspected problems at the border. Did you bring bottled water, blankets, a toy for a child? You brought only your big loud mouth and spewed hatred against our Country and the people who have donated their kids clothes and toys while trying to make do without Congress doing their job. You were certainly one of the first to say Congress needs better pay? I am not a fan of Nancy or your squad because people dislike you not because of your color but because your are a pain in the butt. Legislate don’t pontificate. Corey Booker should be removed from consideration for President. He deliberately by his own words at the Kavanaugh hearings broke the law by discussing confidential information during his SPARTACUS MOMENT. Now he crosses our border and attempts to bring illegals across by short circuiting the process. That is treason. Subverting the laws of our Nation was his Moment of Stupidity. All of Congress needs to stop the BS and go to work, try to get along and fix the ugly mess you are making. Your squad will be gone along with many others if you don’t stop the BS and do your jobs & it won’t have anything to do with race, color or creed. It will be because you are not able to do your job.
THE
SQUAD 4 ARE UNCIVIL, VILE, PHONEY LIARS USING SAUL ALINSKY & JOE GOEBBELS TACTICS TO CAUSE ANARCHY IN THE USA!!!
THEY THINK THEIR TWITTER FANS GIVES THEM POWER IN CONGRESS, WELL IT DOESN’T!! A WELL KNOWN FACT ABOUT NANCY PELOOSI,” DONT SCREW WITH HER, YOU WILL REGRET YOUR LIES”???
They all want the same thing and basically have the same agenda; to seize power and control of the federal government. And expand government control over the general populous to transform our Republic into a socialist State. The problem for Nancy and the old guard is that the new jerks in their party are being indiscrete. They are making their goals obvious and Nancy is still cognizant enough to know that it will not set well with American voters. They could loose everything in the next election.
AOC and her ilk need,to be removed.
Donnie is currently interested in making money for himself and his family and nothing for the good of the United States of America…he has cheater on all of his wives… he is a liar…a cheater…he is a crook. He has cheated his way to where he is today. He will go down in history as the worst president ever…he should be in jail!!! And those are just a few views of good things about him…
