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.).

LOL with 10 to the power of 100 exclamation points. Rep. Clay is African-American representing what was his father's district in St. Louis. Supposedly AOC and her minions have Clay in their sights for a primary challenge. This is pure Jacobin v. Girondist political war. I wonder if AOC has finally gone too far and she will be dealt with like McCarthy. I love how AOC pushed the nuclear race button and unleashed the hounds of race war on her own party.

You and I know AOC can’t help herself and will lob a shot at Clay. Whatever that is it will be awesome to behold.

The DNC can be a nasty group to be on the wrong side of.
Twitter isn’t strong enough to save AOC from that.

He is trying to remind Occasional-Cortex of the Rules. We only play the race card on Republicans, doncha know.

They deserve all that comes to them, racists that they are.

When AOC has some serious power her enemies will start killing themselves with 2 gunshots to the back of the head.

She’ll win any primary challenge in the district now ... easily. She’s a younger, darker, leaner, hatless, even stupider version of Bella Abzug.

Very nice analogy. Maybe Ocasio- Cortez is their Robespierre.

Pelosi sent him out to shut up AOC. Can’t have an old white woman shutting her up, but if a black is shutting her up that’s ok.

There were reports that her chief of staff set up front companies to launder money into her campaign as well as AOC putting her BF on the Congressional payroll. Nancy needs to start playing for keeps and have these matters investigated and drop a dime on her if she can. Trying to control the Marxist through the usual means of removing committee assignments, better office space, influence with the leadership, etc. will not work with AOC and her fellow travelers.

Whenever so-called people of “color” lose an argument they pull out the race card.

On the contrary, the DNC is probably trying to arrange an “accident” for AOC at this very moment.
She’s a huge liability. She’s shown the uber-irrational part of the Democrats and they’d like to hide that if they can.
