Ayanna Pressley breaks with "Squad" to endorse Elizabeth Warren
CBS "News" ^ | November 6, 2019 | BY GRACE SEGERS

Posted on 11/06/2019 1:21:48 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley endorsed fellow Massachusetts lawmaker Elizabeth Warren in the Democratic presidential primary Wednesday. Pressley's endorsement came after the rest of a grouping of progressive congresswomen colloquially known as "the Squad" announced they were supporting Senator Bernie Sanders' bid for the presidency.

In a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday, Pressley said she was supporting Warren because the senator is a "consistent" advocate for progressive change who "never loses sight of the people."

"You've all heard about the senator's plans, but here's the thing - the plans are about power. Who has it, who refuses to let it go, and who deserves more of it," Pressley said

The rest of the Squad - which is made up of Pressley and congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib - have endorsed Sanders.

These are the great women of color who are going to save the American Dream.

And their grand moms are the reason we got to the moon.

It said so in a movie.

It’s not much of a break, to pick one socialist over another. Especially when the one you pick is a Senator in your home state. It’s only practical politics.

Ayanna Pressley is the “odd woman out” in the Squad. The other three Squad members are “outsiders”, but Pressley is a Massachusetts insider!

So of course she’s with Warren!!!!

“The Squad” is a joke. As are their picks.

But when you have virtually nothing to start with...

The squad is composed of four individuals with no cohesion beyond that made up by presstitutes

In reality, there is no squad

If Vinegar Lizzie Lieawatha gets the nod, then PDJT is going to play her like a cheap fiddle at the debates. He knows how to yank someone’s chain, and Lizzie has a volcanic temper.

Pressley with all the added fake hair, will be 46 yrs. old in Feb..

She has NO children of her own, other than a step daughter that came with her marriage...

She is a freshmen in Congress and needs to be voted out...voters in Massachusetts needs to wake up and get that done...

enough of these four clowns known as The Squad...

I don’t think she likes playing fourth fiddle to the rest of the”crew”.
