Tensions flare over Pelosi’s comments about four House Democratic women and border bill
Washington Post ^ | July 7,2019 | By Robert Costa

Ocasio-Cortez rebuked Pelosi’s comment to Dowd about her bloc’s “public whatever” in a Saturday tweet, writing, “That public ‘whatever’ is called public sentiment. And wielding the power to shift it is how we actually achieve meaningful change in this country.”

Tlaib argued Sunday that the opposition of the four first-term women is significant because of their backgrounds and life experiences, regardless of whether it caused consternation for House Democratic leaders.

“You know, people like us, people like me and Ayanna, Ilhan and Alexandria, we’re reflective of our nation in many ways,” Tlaib told ABC News. “Guess what? We know what it feels like to be dehumanized. We know what it feels like to be brown and black in this country. And I’ll tell you right now, we’re not going to stand by and sit idly by and allow brown and dark-skinned children to be ripped away from their parents to be dehumanized.”

“We need to leverage our power in the House of Representatives,” Castro said in an interview. Any new border legislation, he said, needs to “move people out of the system faster, lift the standards of care and, for the long term, invest in Central America so that you have less people desperate enough to try to make the journey.”

Pelosi did not personally respond to the criticism from Tlaib and Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday.

Let’s see how much power Pelosi really does have.

while D division is a very good thing, its between outright anti-American commie/nazi/islamonazi enemies of USA...and far leftists that have learned how to work against us from within or using...the system

if either side wins, America and our liberties lose and lose big.

so far the traditional D party people haven’t got a single horse in the race, alas! just all the enemies and crazies

All white Democrats are eventually going to go down. Within the Democrat framework, whenever a “person of color” evokes their “POC” status in an argument against a white person, the argument is effectively over, and the white person must apologize and cede the floor. Logic, reason, facts, ideology even, have nothing to do with it. It’s just identity, and a Trump card.

They’ll of course studiously avoid any conflicts within the “POC” grouping. If a black person criticizes illegal immigration, then he’s a conservative, and loses his trump card.

The race card is the most powerful, but not the only one. Within the white grouping, there’s the gender card, so women can shut men up. Then within women, there’s the sexual orientation card, so “LGBQT” can shut up straights. And within LGBQT, the “T” is still more oppressed than the “LGBQ”, so they have the trump card. Then of course there’s religion, with Muslims holding the trump card over anyone else. Etc., etc.

In the end, they really just need to search the Harvard Law alumni network for a black transgender Muslim illegal alien, and they can settle the nomination right then and there.

‘Rat leaders are desperate to let the air out of the sails of the far left wing of the party before they end up nominating somebody from way out there to run against Trump - I think it’s too little too late......

They should be told that they aren’t “showing truth to power” unless they physically slap Nancy Pelosi across the face. Or even better, to punch her in front of the cameras.

Oddly enough, while a sane person would think this intolerable, the crazy eights radicals would probably think it was great.

I wonder if Omar or Tlaib would try to stab Pelosi while screaming Allahu Akbar repeatedly?

Yes. We should spread spiteful rumors far and wide.

First, "people with knowledge of the situation say informants within the party are ready to undermine AOC,Oman and Tlaib within days."" Speaker Pelosi says she won't have to worry about young upstarts from progressive wing soon." "Close aide to Pelosi will go on TV soon about insiders' explosive remarks against her."

Horseshiite.
The way to deal with these traitorous political whores is to call them out.

Tell the truth. Call them Communist, Fascist, Traitorous, Tribal Separatists.
Dont allow them any space to breath.
Degrade their power by exposing their corruption, their dishonesty, their lying, their theft. Their support is minimal at best.
Its all there to be told.

A well written and insightful post.

Leftist white males will have this left to say: nothing.

Hope a few wise up and silently, quietly creep to the secret ballot privacy of the voting place and vote Trump. Then say “Trump? Can’t stand the guy.”

Maybe the headline should read “....Pelosi Comments About the Four Horsefaced Women of the Apocalypse.”

On my anger meter she did it again: 100%. Danger Zone Reached.

Where did I put my mindfulness, OM and meditation books?

They are called KLANTIFA

“Invest in Central America”?

The US has sent $millions every year.

I don’t think you left anything out. Pretty much summed it up.
