WASHINGTON House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took an indirect swipe at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Monday, saying passing legislation should take priority over amassing Twitter followers.
While there are people who have a large number of Twitter followers, whats important is that we have a large number of votes on the floor of the House, Pelosi told USA Today.
She was asked how she was balancing her social media-savvy socialist-leaning members like AOC with those from purple states who won the House majority for the Democrats.
Pelosi said Democrats should fight for the boldest common denominator.

Maybe AOC will take Pelosi out? Can’t have a corrupt old woman tell the young socialist tramp what to do. Democrats are going to tear themselves apart.

Democrat, Nancy Pelosi is a totally failed, disabled, broken, terrible, do nothing, Speaker of the House. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is God’s gift to humanity and the American Republic because she will be a key player, element and cause of the total political destruction of the current twisted, freak Democrat Party.
What a Carnival of insane, unbalanced, twisted, “Freak Stars” in the Democrat Party, Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler, Schiff, Waters, Clyburn, O’Rouke, Booker, Warren, Biden, Sanders, Castro, Gillibrand, etc., etc., etc. Not one piece of serious meaningful legislation passed in four months..period.
POTUS, Trump gets 32,000 folks at his political rallies, Beto O’Rourke, etc., gets 125 folks at his political rallies. Folks.....methinks the 2020 POTUS race is over.....Trump wins in massive landslide victory!!! Go Trump, Go Mega/Maga!!!

Yeah, but, unfortunately, thats when Michelle O will swan in to be Americas first black woman president.
Ignore the clown car candidates and AOCs childish antics. Pelosi is an obvious GOP plant.
Worry about Michelle.

Its really OK that the Ds havent passed one piece of serious meaningful legislation in four months. I hope they continue to rattle around like empty boxes while accomplishing nothing.

Not one piece of serious meaningful legislation passed in four months........period. Nice take.......Pelosi's only (cough) winning strategy is to sow confusion among the electorate.

It’s the total voter fraud and the total judicial activism, during AND AFTER the ‘20 U.S. general election, that I’m worried about and concerned about.

What Pelosi is missing is that AOC's backers (for the most part, Soros and his ilk) invested in her so that she would use her position to become a major media influencer (and she is already paying big dividends in that capacity).
Same for Ilhan Omar.
Any actual return on investment as a U.S. Rep is waaaaay down the road.
To: Libloather
Yeah. And we were like.. woke!.. and stuff.

I agree with you but never under estimate the stupidity of the American voter. You're right about San Fran Nan. The entire "Depends'' wing of the Democrat Party, Biden, her, Schumer, they're the old dogs and AOC and her posse are the new Red Guard. AOC of course is a whack job who should be encouraged to continue to keep doing what she's doing but Trump hasn't been re-elected yet.

Good point—Nancy knows she will be in the grave long before any of that stuff matters.
Politicians, like corporate executives, think no further than the next election or earnings season.
It would be hilarious if AOC had a moment of cogency and delivered the news: “I am playing the long game—history will call you the bimbo.”
