WATCH: College Students Say Ocasio-Cortez, Not Pelosi, Is Face of Democratic Party

Is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi losing her grip on the Democratic Party?

Students at Georgetown University apparently think so.

Campus Reform's Cabot Phillips visited the campus in Washington, D.C., to ask people about the intra-party struggle between the old guard, like Pelosi (D-Calif.), and more progressive, far-left lawmakers like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and her outspoken freshmen colleagues.

Students were asked: “Between Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who do you view as the face of the Democrat Party?” The results went overwhelmingly in the freshman congresswoman's favor.

“She’s got the people. We’re in a time of extremes, she’s pulling pretty far to the left, I think people are going to like it,” one student said, and another added, “She represents a new progressive thing that’s pretty prevalent on college campuses.”

[Libloather]

Finally, he said, many college students feel pressure from classmates, professors and administration to "go along with anything that's as far-left as possible."

Not so long ago - Cortez graduated from Boston University in 2011 with a bachelors degree in economics and international relations.

[jmcenanly]

If that is to be the new face of the Democrat party, so be it.


I keep getting the impression that this was her grandfather.

[pepsionice]

Are these real college students, or fake college students?

[Long Jon No Silver]

[Beagle8U]

The one at the bottom is the spitting image of Michigan’s senior Senator, Debby Stabenow!

[SMGFan]

I’ll take your word for it.

[Clutch Martin]

Them there college edumacated diaper soilers better git good jobs to pay for it all... cuz it’s gonna hit expensive and they be on the hook, tax wise that is.

[al_c]

And Pelosi wants 16-year olds to vote? She may need to rethink that.

[ronnie raygun]

Great! go for it stupid

[TalBlack]

The Nancy Pelosi’s taught them Communist ends and tactics and now they turn on Nancy...

[okie 54]

Either way both are ugly

[kearnyirish2]

Nancy & company don’t need to worry; Cortez and the other envious non-whites still need the old rich white libs’ money. She’ll dance to whatever tune they play.

College Students Say Ocasio-Cortez, Not Pelosi, Is Face of Democratic Party.....

AOC is skilled at making the standard Democratic moves: (A) to keep herself in office, and, (B) gain wealth off of politics, both at the same time.

====================================

BACKSTORY: "Justice Democrats" and “Brand New Congress” are a group of Bernie Sanders ex-staffers who decided 2018 midterms
should be all about Bernie's policies, finding 400 Bernie carbon copies to dump into races. AOC was hired to run in NY.

NOTE
<><> "Brand New Congress" mastermind is Saikat Chakrabarti
<><> "Justice Democrats" is Cenk Uygur, a Turkish-born Muslim.
Making a pile of money musta been a huge incentive. Read on.

==========================================

.......an FEC complaint was filed against AOC alleging her COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, created multiple
private companies--LLCs--to siphon off campaign contributions from her various PACs for personal use......

BTW, besides socialism (gag)....Bernie and AOC have a lot in common.

AOC’s COS used to be Bernie’s....wait for it....."Director of Organizing Technology."

AND THIS--Saikat Chakrabarti, is a proven tech expert.
(A) He co-founded a web design tool,
(B) He built up the product team at the payment processor "Stripe".........
(C) He then came to the Sanders campaign after (cough) growing disillusioned with the tech world.

Saikat Chakrabarti was Bernie's Director of Organizing Technology. Even old man Bernie knew enough to hire a tech expert.

So, I guess (smirk) Chakrabarti's tech skills musta come in mighty handy when donations to Bernie were
wire-transferred to the DNC and ended up in 2016 candidate Hillary's account.
Debbie W/S headed the DNC at the time and was ousted b/c of her bias for Hillary.

Course, none of us heard about any of this, but.....
<><> Chakrabarti-the-tech-whiz did find out about the DNC theft, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did speak to D/W/S about it, or to Debbie's tech expert, Imran Awan, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did tell Bernie he was fleeced, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti WAS working for Bernie, wasnt he?

Now the stunning details about that FEC complaint:

The FEC complaint asserts that AOC's COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, early on established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC's campaign:
<><> the "Brand New Congress PAC," and,
<><> the "Justice Democrats PAC."

After mucho money was raised, Chakrabarti systematically transferred $885,000+ in PAC contributions to his private companies with similar names:
<><> the "Brand New Campaign LLC," and,
<><> the " Brand New Congress LLC."

Saikat Chakrabarti's private companies, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.
NOTE WELL: it's a much-used criminal act to enrich oneself, to open bank accounts using similarly named
entities to siphon off money, to hide it from partners, associates, investors etc.

SIPHONINGS A CINCH It's easy to siphon off money for oneself by putting checks into the new accounts with similar names, depositing checks that were made out to the original entity.

Even your bank will advise you that if the check-writer "mis-spelled" your name.....to just endorse the check with the correct name.

AND PRESTO: a check made out to Brand New Congress PAC, is deposited in the Brand New Congress LLC account.

==========================================

ANALYSIS --- Chakrabarti's companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how AOC's donations were used. The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions, according to the FEC complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.

Campaign finance attorneys described the arrangement as “really weird” and an indication "there’s something amiss." They said there was no way of telling where the political donations went — meaning (A) the donations could have been pocketed, or, (B) used by the LLC's to pay for off-the-books campaign operations.---SNIP---SOURCED FROM FR.

===================================
JUST WONDERING .....does Chakrabarti have a reputation among Democraps for facilitating the conversion of campaign donations?

Maybe we should ask landowner Socialist Bernie (smirk)?

Yup.

Love her or hate her, she represents the future of the Democrat Party.

And if present trends continue, a strong chance of becoming POTUS in the next twenty years.

[susannah59]

I wonder how many of them actually know who Pelosi is, or could pick her picture out of a lineup.

[cpt jack 1]

They’re right. Pelosi couldn’t even push through a resolution saying antisemitism is bad. She’s not in charge.

[pepsionice]

I think if you presented a picture of Nancy Pelosi, and asked a hundred college kids to identify her....at least twenty would suggest she’s a soap opera actress for Days of Our Lives.

[JGPhila]

The belief that AOC is the face of the Democratic Party reflects a lack of understanding as to the implications of the “progressivism” she champions, and a lack of understanding of the political realities of a center-right country. The failure to understand the implications of “progressivism” is a function of these young people having no real life experience. They have been cocooned by their parents since birth, given trophies for showing up, and have no idea what it means to work for a living and support a family. If they did, then they would not support a system that wants to take more of what people earn and give it to those who expects to be taken care of by the rest of us, not to mention a system that wants to control what we think and that wants to punish us for our gender or skin color. As to not understanding the political realities, these young people are immersed in and believe the daily propaganda spouted by the MSN. If they bothered to look beyond the Democrat approved outlets they would be shocked to learn that many people outside the east and west coasts do not support AOC, Tlaib and Omar, either on their drive toward socialism or their hatred for all things American.

“she’s pulling pretty far to the left, I think people are going to like it,”

Gonna be some butthurt coming their way, probably from two directions.
