Ocasio-Cortez For House Speaker? ‘I Don’t Want to Bite Off More Than I Can Chew’

By Patrick Goodenough | November 8, 2018 | 4:23 AM EST



(CNSNews.com) – Democrat socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was still celebrating her victory in New York’s 14th Congressional District Tuesday night when she was asked her thoughts on becoming speaker in the Democratic-controlled House.

The 29-year-old laughed, and told Amy Goodman of the left-wing news program Democracy Now, “I mean, I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew.”

Goodman had asked Ocasio-Cortez her stance on Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) returning as House speaker.

“Who do you think needs to lead the House?,” she asked. “And would you consider the possibility of being the speaker … yourself?”

“I mean, I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew,” Ocasio-Cortez laughed. “I just won my seat.”

“But, you know, what I do think is that in terms of her leadership in context, we need to see what our options are,” she continued. “You know, my fear is, I just wouldn’t want to see candidates running to her right, and that being our only option.”

The House GOP need to decide on either Alexi the Commy or Mad Maxine, and then vote for her. Every single swinging Rep vote for the chosen whack job. How much fun would that be?

Excellent plan, I wish the Reps would seriously do it.  Shine the most intense light possible on the lunatics who make up the base of the now-House-Majority party.

Sad fact is that it does not matter who they pick.  Cortez would be just as cooperative as Pelosi.  The resistance movement will continue unabated.  The idiot Americans that voted for these moron Democommies deserve everything they will not get. 

What is that you say?  Well kiss any further tax cuts goodbye, along with any changes to Obamacare, and forget about doing anything about immigration.  Dead, all dead. 

Pelosi, Waters, Schiff, and countless other clowns in Congress will make that body an utter joke.  I am ashamed that the American people after experiencing the last two years did not vote Republican.  Again, they deserve the stupidity that they will get, which is a group of self serving politicians that abdicate their responsibility they were elected to, and they will do literally nothing for two years.  And sad to say, they think they are representing their electorate by doing nothing.  Uggh!
