Tell a radical lefty to be quiet?
Good luck with that.
Cortez says what Nancy Pelosi actually believes in politically. Nancy also knows not to say it, Cortez does not.

I think AOC might be the only honest Democrat. She's not trying in the least to obfuscate how far left she wants to take the party.
Shut up and get in line ... the Democrat way.
Agree, precisely why Pelosi and those hanging onto power want her to shut up - they’re still sane enough (which is what is really sad) to understand they’re just playing politics, this woman isn’t, she’s openly telegraphing the fringe now runs the show!
