The border crisis appears to have inched the Democratic Party towards another episode of internal strife. Civil war? Well, I’m not so sure about that, but it’s been getting pretty nasty. The House passed a $4.6 billion border package that included strings attached, aimed at curbing immigration enforcement. This was pie-in-the-sky. Trump would never sign it, though he did sign the Senate bill into law, which provided the same funding but without the trash provisions against enforcing the law. It was also overwhelmingly bipartisan. Moderate House Democrats and Pelosi signed off on the Senate bill, which infuriated the far left. The Squad, as they’re called, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), are all part of this unholy alliance. They’re the face of the growing far-left contingent in the House. Pelosi has taken swipes at their agenda, which has not been well received. AOC hasn’t spoken to Pelosi in weeks and this crew dishes it right back. It reached new heights when AOC pretty much accused Pelosi of racism, saying her criticism in targeting women of color in her caucus was disrespectful.
Now, we have AOC’s chief of staff going after fellow Democrats, saying their votes “enable a racist system.” Whatever that means. It did not sit well with House Democrats who clapped back. At Netroots Nation, a far left wing conference, Pressley picked up the ball, pretty much saying that those who support Pelosi are race traitors for lack of a better term:
Netroots panel kicking off w @IlhanMN: "There’s a constant struggle with people who have power about sharing that power. And we are not really in the business of asking to share that power; we are in the business of grabbing that power to return it to the people."— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) July 13, 2019
Up next, @AyannaPressley says that she is fed up with "palace intrigue," not much mystery about what she means.— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) July 13, 2019
The panel is moderated by @aimeeallison, who is not interested in litigating Tweet Tweek, though she nodded at it in her intro. Moving conversation to child separation. @RashidaTlaib:"This is a whole generation of children who will never forget what our nation did to them."— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) July 13, 2019
.@AyannaPressley: "What is happening in these ICE facilities where they pilot how they can abuse privacy rights, how they can abuse human rights, and they scale that up." But notes that black and brown people disproportionately work for CBP.— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) July 13, 2019
"They are now a cog in this machine of oppression of people who look just like them."— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) July 13, 2019
Quoting what a colleague said to her, @IlhanMN: "If there were dogs in those cages, every single member of Congress would vote to make sure those cages didn’t exist."— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) July 13, 2019
Moderator brings up impeachmnt with @RashidaTlaib: "We're gonna impeach the MFer, don't worry," she says.— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) July 13, 2019
Omar is recounting her questioning of Elliot Abrams in the Foreign Affairs committee: "[Knowing] the trail of blood that he has left in South and Central America. I wasn’t about to let him come and talk to us about what he was doing in Venezuela."— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) July 13, 2019
Pressley seeming to hit back at the criticism from the CBC et al: "We don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice. We don’t need any more black voices that don’t want to be a black voice."— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) July 13, 2019
A member of AOC’s squad picks up where AOC’s Chief of Staff left off, strongly hinting that African American & Hispanic members of the Democratic congressional caucus aren’t black or brown enough if they support Pelosi’s agenda. https://t.co/HzmS5NPgFN— Jerry Dunleavy (@JerryDunleavy) July 13, 2019
The claws are out. Grab the popcorn. There is nothing more riveting that Democrats ripping each other apart.
“If there were dogs in those cages, every single member of Congress would vote to make sure those cages didn’t exist.”
They were having a shite-fight last night on Twitter where the “House Democrats” account called out AOCs chief of staff like they had no idea “who he is”. Popcorn reserves running low...
Off topic, but Jeepers Creepers Nancy, how many healthy years do you think you have left?
Really, retire already. The Pelosi fortune will give you and yours anything and everything you can ever want - except one more minute of life.
As a fellow American and a fellow human being - let some of the younger blood handle things and enjoy what’s left of your life. There’s more to life than DC politics.
“THE SQUAD”???
I don’t think so.
More like “THE COD SQUAD”
Nancy can’t retire. She’s another power hungry, narcissistic lifetime politician. It’s all they know. It consumes them.
Most race traitors are white...
Please keep it up, Dems. :)
For future reference, FR post-bombers, I do believe Nancy Pelosi is officially uglier and more generally terrifying than Helen Thomas.
I’ll never forget when that woman went to a McDonalds in LA to pose with “the poor...” She made a happy meal cry.
That woman is so ugly, I heard that when she was on her recent congressional CODEL trip to Australia she threw a boomerang and it didn’t come back.
That woman is so ugly that at the National zoo, recently, Nancy went to pick up a baby for a photo-op and the zookeepers nearly shot her.
Heh, took me a sec there, LOL.
We call them “Democrats”.
She’s so ugly the turkey basters for lesbo insemination went on strike.
You're absolutely right!
I also think that Nancy Pelosi may operate under the
delusion that she may just slip into the office of
President if she can just somehow remove Trump and Pence.
Really! I think she may just harbor such insanity
in the back of her mind.
Then again Pelosi may really enjoy being Speaker.
In that case I hope AOC and her gang of hate America
radical anti-white racists make Pelosi suffer as Speaker.
“The Squad, as they’re called”
I call ‘em: “The Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse” ...
Pelosi will crush the AOC-led gnats as we get closer to the election. She must to preserve her caucus ... and she will. Absolutely crush them!
IN her blood..remember—
She’s a daughter 0f a power hungry, narcissistic lifetime politician like her father
. . . and female
“I think she may just harbor such insanity”
Oh she and a lot of others have been thinking of that for a long time now. If something were to happen to the president as VP all of the left’s problems would be solved. They get dizzy thinking about it. ..trust me.
Dream on. 😂 Pelosi will be swept aside like any other 80 year old white lady - AOC and “The Squad” are the state media backed leadership of the democrat controlled House. By the by, it’s funny that the so called “Squad” is led by a white chick 😂 (Cortez)
If Trump don’t have AOC on the payroll, he should have. She is wreaking havoc in the enemy’s camp.
