“AOC has powerful backing, and those backers are shrewd.”

Yep, I agree with that. The woman is an actress, and in today’s political arena, that’s what it takes. Obama was smarter than AOC, but bottom line, he was an actor.

“She IS a racist. Do any of you have “brown” grandchildren, or “brown” spouses or sons/daughters in law? I do. I also have “brown” blood. Her family is lily-white. No brown or black blood in her descendants. She talks a good racist-blaming game, but she made sure that none of HER BLOOD was brown or black.”

According to that logic, anyone who has no brown or black blood is necessarily racist. Especially if they have no brown or black blood in their descendants.

Only stupid people believe that.

Or is that racist too?

Well, you know, that’s justified when you lie about people you really, really hate. Dem morality at work.

I hope she “stays on” until the next election! She and her raghead cohorts are the gifts that keep on giving.

AOC been gum-snappin' about color and the Speaker in the same paragraph all along!

The only thing different, the ONLY thing different here, is Mike Lillis and Cristina Marcos decided to break the embargo against Democrats v Democrats and put Pelosi's CBC brigade on the record against AOC. (On a Friday News Dump day, albeit)

The CBC in particular have been dying to call out this quinceanera-arrested-development-bartendress-masquerader. "AOC is usurping COLOR!" "AOC is a nutty UTOPIAN!" "AOC be talking out of school, bout' time we threw some shade back."

But it's a Friday News Dump.

Hopefully provoking her gets her to say something dangerously stupid today, that would fuel the weekend.

Also WHY isn't a charismatic conservative like JC Watts running? You don't have to live there! Just undercut AOC's brownness with a proud black man!

The complete lack of self-awareness is like a Double Schadenfreude burger with hot sauce!

“What a weak argument,” said Rep. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.), a member of both the Black and Progressive caucuses. “Because you can’t get your way and because you’re getting pushback you resort to using the race card? Unbelievable. Unbelievable to me.”

Why didn't any Republicans use that against BHO!?

The Dem Party will always be led by white libs; the darker people are just their useful pawns. The AOC/Pelosi squabble shows what happens when one of the pawns (a freshman at that) gets uppity...

I don’t think Pelosi will be able to stop AOC short of having her killed. AOC does have a few campaign finance issues that could be investigated but the optics for the Dem’s could be bad to go after their own that way, plus other Dems have probably used the same type of devices to get into office and it would make them open to AOC’s charge of...”so did so and so and so and so and so and so”. AOC might even go as far if pressured to demand the opening of the congressional records on payouts for congressional sexual harassers.

Chakrabati got 7 new social Dems elected to office out of 27 of their own that won their primaries....not a bad start. He knows where even the old guard buries their financial skeletons. I don’t think Pelosi will be able to get a handle on this issue and while they try to diminish the influence of the “squad” of 4, they are having an impact wider publically than their diminished influence on congressional priorities. These 4 have devoted national followers and fans(though with AOC not necessarily in her own district) and thus won’t be easily shushed up or removed without a fight.

Trump hinted at what he could do with Tlaib, about certain immigration and finance regularities in his tweet and how she could go back to where she came from;if I were Pelosi, I’d be viewing it as a backdoor invitation to have something done thru tax investigations and immigration investigations. Trump doesn’t like Tlaib’s comments on Americans and while he publicly trolled Pelosi...it sounded like a backdoor....”let’s have a conversation” invite.

If we hear of a Pelosi-Hillary pow-wow then that is exactly what will be happening.

I meant Omar not Tlaib as Omar is foreign born and has that brother/husband thing going on.

A-OCK doesn't care what color she is ... she just wants to be identified as a "colored person".
