WASHINGTON Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didnt get a seat on the powerful tax writing committee where she sought to push her progressive agenda of Medicare for All, free college tuition and a green new deal.
Instead, the open downstate New York slot on the House Ways and Means Committee went to a moderate Democrat, Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi, a former CPA, attorney and county executive.
Suozzi will assume the committee seat of Rep. Joe Crowley, the Queens Democrat Ocasio-Cortez defeated last year in a stunning upset.
Ocasio-Cortez sought a spot on the committeewhich is usually off limits to freshman reps with the backing of progressive groups that pushed for a slate of fresh-faced candidates to earn posh assignments.
Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib made a play for Appropriations, but she too was passed over.
Ocasio-Cortez, at 29 the youngest member of Congress, took the defeat in stride. Asked if she felt slighted by leadership, her spokesman Corbin Trent said certainly not.
She hoped to be on it, but were excited to see what committees she does get, Trent said.

“You have to figure out no one likes you”
And maybe she’s never heard that you have to pay your dues. She’s so drunk on ego that she’ll never STFU.
Well knock me over with a feather.
I thought they fought for committees to represent their constituents.
Shocked, I tell you, shocked
Nancy, your natural term limit will arrive long before mine, old chica.
Sincerely,
Tooth Head.
Beautiful graphic stuff... love the style with subdued colors, Bon mots.
She looks like a braying mule.
Hey! Mules are intelligent and useful beats! Don’t insult them!
Oca Cor is a mental midget and a rabid, crazy communist.
We need to help Nan out and brighten her day. I’m going to send her a can of saddle soap ... for her face.
I wonder if young Clinton and young Obama were mocked? How’d that work out!
Aoc should continue running her clueless mouth and make waves in the rat house....awesome...snl in real time...
All of her facial expressions and hand gestures are over the top exaggerated and phony.
How many times a day do any of us make the expressions this creature makes?
For me, it’s never.
It’s also interesting to note that there is always someone waiting to photograph her making a braying mule out of herself, much like there was always someone waiting to photograph the gaping inside of Hillary Clinton’s lie hole.
I’m sure there is still a place for her; maybe in the janitorial dept.
She could serve drinks to the other libs. She is an experienced barmaid and none of the drunks in congress will care what comes out of her mouth.
This will NOT go down well with the extremist young moonbat base. Look for demonstrations and more sit-ins at Nancy’s office.
Buy stock in Orville Redenbacher.
Tom Suozzi, a former CPA, attorney and county executive.
Certainly seems a better pick than a loud mouthed, skinny, buck toothed ex barmaid.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
know the real reason that AOC cannot be given a committee seat with large responsibility. Imagine her trying to participate in or run a committee without a working knowledge of Roberts Rules of Order.
OCA likely needs a crash course in Roberts Rules of Order, but even her ordinary political speech is disorderly and choppy, as if her attention span is about 10 seconds.
Add a few PMS days on any committee and you can imagine the havoc and destruction AOC could bring about.
I am sorry they did not give her a real powerful committee assignment. It would have been great to watch her bring the entire party down.
Wonder who’s tires Cortez will cut first?.
Wonder whos tires Cortez will cut first?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Some one from the old guard.
Maybe Schumer will make the mistake of giving AOC a squeeze, or maybe Pelosi will have her luxurious Congressional Office and Travel budget exposed.
But slash tires she will, soon the Dem leadership won’t pay ANY attention to her, and she will do desperate things.And the conservative press, what there is left of it, will have a field day.
Wonder whos tires Cortez will cut first?>>>>>>>>>>>
Well, it didn’t take long, she slashed Joe Leiberman’s tires:
” ‘New party, who dis?’ 29-year-old Ocasio-Cortez mocks aging Joe Lieberman, 76, for hoping ‘she’s not the future’ as frightened House Democrats scramble to deal with Twitter star who’s plotting primary campaigns against them”
