An all-out racially charged fight within the House Democratic Caucus escalated Saturday when an African American freshman lawmaker said the party doesn’t need “any more black voices that don’t want to be a black voice.”

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) made those comments during a speech at the liberal Netroots Nation conference where she, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) appeared after a week-long clash with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her allies.

Going to need a large team of "liquidators" to clean up all the fallout from this civil war. Seems to me Rep. Pressley, part of the Four Hags of the Left, just called the other African-American reps Uncle Toms.

the dumbocraps need both the senile nancy and batcrap-crazy cortez wings to beat President Trump, even then, I doubt it.

the whole "civil war" shtick may be a ruse, but the cortez-commies are not likely to compromise.

We don't need popcorn. We need something more like this to watch the infighting in the Democratic Party:

[ronnie raygun]

Soros helping the radicals complete the takeover

[OKSooner]

One would think that they ain’t gonna take kindly to it...

I’m going to buy more Orville Redenbacher stock ‘cause this is gonna be epic.

One can hope that the infighting deteriorates into what actions their constituents take in a similar situation. In that case the rest of Congress should wear bullet proof vests and do what they deem necessary to protect themselves.

All just part of our Troller-in-Chief’s master plan to drive the Dems insane by deliberately provoking their hatred to ever greater heights ... now they’re attacking each other like a pack of rabid dogs, hurling social justice warrior epithets at each other which are normally reserved for their enemies; in other words, the Dems are now their own enemies, or as Pogo once said: “We have met the enemy, and they are us.”

This is intersectional poker.

“You can’t say anything bad about our lesbian American Indian woman of color.”

“Oh, yeah? I see your lesbian American Indian woman of color and raise you a gay transsexual man who was ridiculed and beaten in high school!”

“Our black caucus says to keep her name out of your mouth!”

“Oh, yeah? Well if your black caucus refuses to go along with us then we say you’re a bunch of Uncle Tom’s! Our diversity is the only diversity that matters!”

Americans who are black - or -white - or name the race/ethnicity, are doing better under President Trump than they've done in decades.

I honestly don't know why anybody with a job and a steady paycheck would still be a demoncrap at this point. Why would you want to screw a good thing up?

The useless people - snowflakes, actors, LGBTWEROQWIX freaks who are unemployable - sure, I get the desire for free stuff, but for everybody else? I'm betting there's a crypto #WalkAway movement that even the practitioners aren't talking about. It's beginning to feel like a 2020 MAGA landslide.

KAG 2020!

Maybe one side or the other will recruit Antifa to “help” them straighten this out? It’s really hard to say which one that would be.

When all reason and logic is lost, the democrats use name calling and racism as their last resort.

It would be interesting to watch God’s judgment on them.

This is shaping up to be the 1972 election redux

Can’t wait to see who’s the first to start throwing shoes ,LOL

“This is the time to shake that table. . . . We don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice,” Pressley said, seemingly taking a stab at the Congressional Black Caucus, which is allied with Pelosi. “We don’t need any more black faces that don’t want to be a black voice.” _______________________ The takeaway from this comment is that a person can be "brown" or "black" only if they parrot the "woke' narrative of rampant discrimination based on the racist Caucasians. Can you imagine if a white Republican said he or she no longer wanted white faces that don't speak in a white voice? The sky would fall and the MSM would trumpet such a comment as evidence of the "inherent" racism of white America.
