Ocasio-Cortez pushes back on Pelosi’s analysis of win: ‘...we’re in the middle of a movement’
The Hill ^ | 6/28/18 | Julia Manchester

New York Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is pushing back on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) characterization of her surprise primary win, saying the Democratic Party is in the midst of a movement.

“I think that we’re in the middle of a movement in this country,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN's Erin Burnett late Wednesday. “I feel this movement, but that movement is going to happen from the bottom up. That movement is going to come from voters.”

**SNIP**

Pelosi dismissed speculation in a news conference earlier Wednesday, saying Ocasio-Cortez's win should not be seen as a larger movement within the party at the national level.

"They made a choice in one district. So let’s not get yourself carried away as an expert on demographics and the rest of that," Pelosi said.

Lest see 28 years on this planet Im sure there are some skeletons in her closet, the Obama media will cover this up like a blanket on a cold winter night you can bet. There aint nothing like working 60 hours a week and giving it all up to a 28 year olds socialists agenda who probably has never read the constitution or know any of the presidents

Listening to this chick ramble makes me think of the little league baseball champion who now thinks they’re ready for the majors. She is in way over her head already and is pretty certain to crash and burn pretty quickly even with the media doing its best to prop up a young, female COC (communist of color).

Which is what has the Dems in such a tizzy - between Pelosi and Waters and Schumer and the rest, the last thing they need is this open socialist out in front of the People for too much time.....ironically, the LSM won't be able to help themselves and will end up helping us even more....

Nasty Nancy better watch out. Democrats aren’t the party of white people anymore and they need a young, wise Latina to run things.

"The Democrats don’t need white people!"

Yeah...that's pretty much what Hillary thought. I think it's a good idea also.. They should kick all them sticking white folk out of their party..!!! :)

The white dems may actually have to start looking at the illegal voting problem and the mass illegal immigration. May start to effect them in unexpected ways. Guaranteed if they think this, we will see a 180 on their positions.

After a lactose inspired loose movement this morning; I too feel ready to take on the world.

Maybe there is something to this movement. The girl needs a sammich though. Waaaaay too skinny. Just skin and bones really. People like that rarely age well.

Usually what is at the root of all liberal problems. They always have trouble making a movement. Fecal impaction from extreme muscle tension in the anal sphincter area.

Should probly dawn PPE. It might get messy.

“She’s the Donk candidate in a solidly Donk district. So, she wins in November!”

Is there no chance for a Hispanic republican to achieve an upset?

He was a volunteer, openly anti-Semitic. She disavows knowing anything about him (he was standing behind her on the platform when she made her victory speech).

In the middle of a movement, with this much activity, means it’s time for a courtesy flush.

Seth Rich is an example of the double tap, post abortion method of maintaining discipline in the party.

Has she called President Trump a fascist or Nazi yet? She hasn’t arrived until she has.
