Tom Brokaw Slams Freshman Dems Holding ‘Pep Rallies’ Instead of Ending Shutdown

NBC News correspondent Tom Brokaw slammed freshman Democrats led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for holding “pep rallies” instead of working to end the government shutdown.

Brokaw placed equal blame on Democrats for the current dysfunctional situation, though he did criticize the President as well, asserting that government in Richard Nixon’s last year in office was “extraordinarily well run and organized compared to what’s going on now.”

When it came to pointing fingers between both major political parties, he gave equal credit for the debacle.

“Democrats are as much to blame right now as the Republicans are,” the media legend argued.

But it is the Ocasio-Cortez-led contingency of new Democrat faces that he specifically leveled for having little to no knowledge on how to govern.

“You have the young members running through the halls, conducting pep rallies every day instead of getting together with the more moderate people or the people in the midwest who have won in Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota where they need to win again if they’re going to get the control, but they’re driven hard by the left,” Brokaw railed.

If you’re under the impression that the socialist darling of the party is going to heed advice from Brokaw, who is critiquing her little pep rally stunts and slamming Democrats for allowing their party to get pulled “hard by the left,” think again.

This is getting interesting.

Freshmen frat kids who would rather wine, dine and party than go to classes......

...not to worry, Brokaw couldn’t see the light of a freight train if he laid his head on the track...

[DIRTYSECRET]

That’ll straighten them out.

This reminds me of ‘Red’ in the 70’s Show, where he’s trying to....for the 99th time.....tell Eric that he screwed up big-time.

AOC said she wouldn’t vote for a budget that funds ICE.

These folks are far left loons and that’s the new Dem party. Abortion up until (after for some after) birth. Climate change is WW3. Borders are immoral. Wealth is immoral. 70% tax rates (plus local and state might put that above 90%).

Absolute insanity and MSM supports them.

We got WMDs flooding the country enough to kill tens of millions of people and the Marxists are more concerned with pep rallies and attention.

Nah, Dems are just now finding out the realities of why Republicans had so much trouble governing. A minority large enough to guarantee the defeat of any bill without the agreement of the other party is their margin of control.

Combine this with two questions more and more Republicans have been asking for the last 20+ years. How has compromise advanced our agenda? and Who authorized these clowns to negotiate on our behalf?

Then there is the growing numbers in both parties who view the other party as evil. Negotiating with evil is considered sinful.

Can Nancy Pelosi compromise enough to get an appropriations bill through and still be considered a Democrat in good standing by the majority of the rank and file? We know making those compromises destroyed the standing of Beoner, Ryan and McConnell with the Republican rank and file.

Thank you Miss not so occasional cortex for being stupid enough to not know you’re stupid. I’m thankful she is there creating so much chaos within the Democratic Party

[humblegunner]

This old recycled junk again?

Get a job.

AOC will come out with another comment like, “Why is this old woman talking.”

These senior Dems just make their party look old by coming after her this way. WE may have a degree of respect for Lieberman and Brokaw, but she sees them as part of the problem. And they are.

We just have a different solution.

Tom brokaw. Who dat? That ignorant POS he is referring to will probably say something like that.

Brokaw probably surmises the end of the republic is at hand. Thegimmedats have taken control and some now realize that a republican
Government was far better than mob rule.

[KosmicKitty]

Occasional-Kotex reply - “Brokaw, who dis?”

[Carriage Hill]

“NBC News correspondent Tom Brokaw... the media legend argued.”

LOL!

"Brokaw probably surmises the end of the republic is at hand. Thegimmedats have taken control and some now realize that a republican Government was far better than mob rule."

This article is surprising. I wonder why he is being so even-handed. Perhaps the rise of the hard left spooks him. He's old enough to remember the cold war, unlike most of the talking heads.

Brokaw is one of the few dims that realizes that his party has been hijacked by the CPUSA.

[cnsmom]

This is a trap to start a AOC/Trump feud and distract from the Pelosi target.

He is not being evenhanded.

He is trying to put down a Leftist insurrection in order to keep and win control for his buddies in the current Leftist elites.
