The Saturday edition of The Weekend devoted a segment to the Dems' intraparty squabble over House committee positions, and in particular to AOC's attempt to supplant Gerry Connolly as the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee.

The co-hosts and guests all expressed support for AOC. Former Obama HUD Secretary Julian Castro: "I think it's inevitable, though, after an election where you had voters send a strong message, that Democrats need to adjust their message. And they need, I think, more of a fighting spirit, and a focus like I think AOC and others have had. So I'm hopeful that you're going to see some turnover here."

Going further left seems like a recipe for more Democrat pain at the polls, but this is MSNBC.

Modelo fighting spiritFor that matter, you might say that Castro sees AOC not just as a model leader, but as a Modelo one, praising her "fighting spirit."

Dems lost because they’ve gone too far left.

So naturally, MSNBC wants the Dems to go further left, by promoting AOC.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

MSNBC should hire her as an on air personality with a fat paycheck. Getting those guns on the air would boost their crappy ratings

[Kudsman]

Talk about a drone. This AOC one evens speaks!

[oldasrocks]

At the state the dems are in maybe they need a bartender?

[Gahanna Bob]

AOC needs spend some time with Elon.

[Gaffer]

Moved into her new DC apartment and was AMAZED that the switch on the wall behind the sink controlled something called a garbage disposal.

AOC/Harris in ‘28!

His life is a leftist joke.

That is a move that sounds “Dumb and Hilarious”.

Guns? I wasn’t aware that AOC routinely carried firearms. Oh, wait. Never mind.

How desperate can you be...SHE IS A CAMALA CLONE.

This should be good.

AOC is brilliant. She’s the only person in the world to have figured out how to land a spaceship on the sun (”Do it at night.”)

[FreedomForce]

The current Democrats never learn. May it always be so.

[Da Coyote]

So, the DemocRATZ actually are saying that Occasional Cortex is smart?

[Leaning Right]

It really is amazing. I visited some “progressive” websites before the November 2024 election. Quite a few posters there lamented the fact that AOC wasn’t at the top of the Democrat ticket.

Well, they’ll get their chance in 2028.

An Occasional Cortex

I like listening to her try to pitch her voice down when she speaks. Her actual preadolescent squeak must have become a liability.

[Shady]

The woman didn’t know what a garbage disposer or a garden was. She is a moron! Sheesh!

[null and void]

Moved into her new DC apartment and was AMAZED that the switch on the wall behind the sink controlled something called a garbage disposal.

To be fair, NYC bans garbage disposals. She'd never seen one in her echo-chambered life!

No life west of the Hudson...
