A fight broke out in a closed-door meeting of House Democrats over climate change as a powerful veteran lawmaker fought with freshman star Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other members-elect over the creation of a special panel for the issue.
New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone, incoming chairman of the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee — backed by a number of other committee members — slammed the creation of the new climate panel, according to multiple sources in the room. Pallone argued that his committee and other existing panels within the House could take on the issue aggressively.
But Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Rep.-elect Joe Neguse (Colo.) and some of the other progressive incoming lawmakers fought back, saying they ran on the issue and needed to do it. Ocasio-Cortez earlier this week pushed for a “Green New Deal” as she backed more than 200 young protesters at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s office.

RATs deserve these morons fighting over a scam like Gorebal Warming.
I wish them much misery to come.
Notice that hatin’Trump and idiot GW is all they care about.
O-C needs a forum where she can attract cameras. She’d be buried behind the Dem leadership otherwise. Not complicated.
Up against reality. Sucks to be her.
Sean, you have some competition. This guy is a bigger blogpimp/spammer than you are.
It snowed here yesterday. Today it is sunny and windy. I’m so scared because the climate seems to be changing every day now.
She’s soooo going to wear out her welcome before 2020. She will be primaried, and I predict she’ll lose badly.
Naw, the dark haired Evita will run for President.
You go girl
I’m starting to love this chick. She does not at all realize it but she is Alinskying the Democrats - making them live up to their own book of rules. Their own absolutely absurd, without-grounding-in-reality, for-rhetorical-purposes-only book of rules.
And she’s a true believer, it seems, so she’s not going to back down and may not even be that easy to pay off.
It’s as if the Dems’ own mental crazy took human form and got elected to torment them.
‘Rat fight!!!!
I’m gonna need more popcoen!
Make her the speaker.
In their defense, they are at least making an effort to be citizen-journalists.
What makes them stick out is the lack of other material here. The flow is nowhere near what it used to be.
I have a private discussion board with maybe 25 members in it and I see more articles there than here because one person is pretty dedicated at finding and posting things, and does a good job of it.
It takes people like this to make an information ecosphere. Encourage them, don’t slam them.
She is messing up the New York Democrat image. She is changing it from corrupt and sneaky race baiting union thugs, to just plain dumb as rocks. She will be educated shortly.
I hope Alexandria Socialist Cortez starts in on PIAPS. That will be worth the price of admission.
Crazy Cortez must have been asleep when Obama wasted Hundreds of Billions of Dollars of the Green Scam
The dems and the idiots that vote for them continue to prove the movie Idiocracy to be a work of pure genius.
Not even seated yet. She’s quite the spit-fire!
