The bug-eyed socialist wants to be put on a Commerce Committee,  How rich is that!


Incoming Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) is seeking a seat on the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee even after she clashed with the next chairman of the panel over climate change.

And this comes as Ocasio-Cortez has thrown her support to Nancy Pelosi for speaker, saying on Twitter last week that “so long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support." As House Democratic leader, Pelosi will have a big say on committee assignments heading into the next Congress.

Who need a Commerce Committee when everything is free?
