Democratic lawmaker unloads on Ocasio-Cortez, chief of staff for 'using the race card'
The Hill ^ | July 11, 2019 | Jonathan Easley

Rep. Wm. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.) unloaded on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday for "using the race card” after Ocasio-Cortez accused Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of being racially insensitive.

Clay, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, fumed at Ocasio-Cortez and the group of progressive lawmakers that includes Reps. Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Ayanna Pressley (Mass.).

The race card is all they have had. It expired with Obama. No need to grovel any longer. The message seems slow to get out to some.

My bad, typing with brevity. I should have said “she’s from Puerto Rico.”

Being doomed to repeat history seems closer every day.

There once were two cats of Kilkenny,
Each thought there was one cat too many.

So they fought and they fit,
And they scratched and they bit,
Till, excepting their nails
And the tips of their tails,
So instead of two cats, there weren’t any.

What odds would you give me that AOC switches to the GOP if she loses the primary.

Only if she is a fool. She couldn’t win NY statewide, and has plenty of what she wants right where she is. As i ne of 435, she really doesn’t have to take a lot of responsibility.

If she keeps this up, she’ll soon be back in her kitchen showing off her cooking skills on Instagram with 200 followers watching.

Shortest political career ever.
