Who’s the Boss? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Upstages Pelosi, Warns Moderate Dems: Vote Left or Be Put on List for Defeat in 2020 Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) threatened moderate House Democrats she will put them on a list to be targeted in 2020 if they do not vote with the Leftist majority in the Democrat caucus, the Washington Post reported.
Ocasio-Cortez made the threat during a contentious meeting of House Democrats led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) after Republicans maneuvered to get a pro-ICE amendment passed with help from moderate Democrats.
Pelosi offered to help Democrats with tough votes but Ocasio-Cortez upstaged Pelosi, threatening to run the moderates out of office.
The controversial amendment requires ICE be notified when an illegal alien tries to buy a gun. The amendment passed with the support of 26 Democrats, prompting a blow-up among Democrats with a frustrated Pelosi calling out the moderates–but extending a hand to help them with tough votes, the Post reported.
Later, when one lawmaker talked about the peril of persistently voting with party leaders on these motions, Pelosi responded that the party stood ready to help team players: “We have a massive M.A.S.H. operation and, frankly, it should be there for those who have the courage to take the vote.”
Ocasio-Cortez, however, threatened to run the moderates out of office:
…But Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), the unquestioned media superstar of the freshman class, upped the ante, admonishing the moderates and indicating she would help liberal activists unseat them in the 2020 election.
Corbin Trehttps: a spokesman for Ocasio-Cortez, said she told her colleagues that Democrats who side with Republicans “are putting themselves on a list.”

This woman is a moron, but unfortunately she has an audience. Will be interesting to see what happens to her and how this all plays out.
This woman is pissing a lot of people off.
She better start looking over her shoulder.
Moderate demoncrates should switch parties. Wonder if there are enough to give control back to the GOP?
Keep it up AOC, your own party will run YOU out of office.
Way to go Girl...you go. Hey, anyone see this......
Jack, a handsome man, walked into a DC sports bar around 9:58 pm. He sat down next to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the bar and stared up at the TV just as the 10:00PM news came on.
The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump. Alexandria looked at Jack and said, “Do you think he’ll jump?”
Jack says, “You know what, I bet he will.”
Alexandria replied, “Well, I bet he won’t.”
Jack placed a $50 bill on the bar and said, “You’re on!”
Just as she placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death She was very upset but handed her 50 dollars to Jack, saying, “Fair’s fair... Here’s your money.”
Jack replied, “I can’t take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 o’clock news and knew he would jump.”
Alexandria replies, “I did too; but I didn’t think he’d do it again.”
With that, Jack took the money and Alexandria headed back to her work at the US Congress.
Fun to watch.

Let this woman keep talking all day long
she’s the best friend Republicans have
there’s a huge section of the population out there they will vote either our RD and they’re going to be very much sway not to vote D anymore with idiots like this talking
And with all the bombshell headline impeachment nonsense that’s been going on which is all nonsense I think a lot of people are going to wake up to the fact that the media is completely on one side
I’m counting on the fact that this country is founded on the idea of real equity and real fairness and real rule of law not fake
Or is her role the distraction from what Pelosi is really up to?
AOC is a product of the media. Anyone who opposes her can be destroyed by that same media and the establishment Dems are fearfully aware of that.
I believe so. Current breakdown is 235D, 197R with 3 vacancies. Move the "gang of 26" over and it's 223R, 209D. Boy, would I like to see a meeting between Pug Ugly and Occasionally Coherent if THAT happened!
AOC might want to avoid Fort Marcy Park.
I am certain that the underlying powers are hard at work ensuring that SHE will be primaried.
What kind of idiot equates Obama with Rush?
That isn't really her party. She is Democratic Socialist. There are only ~50K members. The HQ is across the river in Manhattan.
Obviously you don’t listen to Rush. Rush has done more for the good of the country than you will ever do in a life time. Comparing Rush h to Obama is an insult.
Too bad there’s not enough ‘moderate’ dems to tell her, “we were elected by, work for, the people...not you.”
And then, when threatened resign, walk out, en masse.
Obviously you don’t listen to Rush. Rush has done more for the good of the country than you will ever do in a life time. Comparing Rush h to Obama is an insult.

I do listen to Rush - and his favorite topic is clearly himself... which is exactly like Obama.
Go, Sandy!!! You have a great career as a stand-up comedienne and former-failed-bartender ahead of you. LOL
