AOC is abusing her power as a Congresswoman and turning into a political celebrity. Just yesterday she had those Queer Eye guys to decorate her office. Men like Henry Clay are rolling over in their graves.
Only to a small extent. A number of freshman congressmen made an immediate impact: Henry Clay, Thaddeus Stevens and Sam Rayburn come to mind. What is different here is that AOC is not making a substantive difference in terms of policy and law, but is simply the current hero of the day to a partisan Mainstream Media looking for a such a hero.
Men like Henry Clay are rolling over in their graves.
Clay was chosen Speaker in his first term in the House because his leadership abilities were obvious to all.
i watched a recent S.O.T.U speech from 1972..Richard Nixon..i was struck by the make-up of the Congress..compared to the train wreck of 2019...sad. If this country survives another 20 years, it’ll be a miracle.
