The education of Ocasio-Cortez: she now supports Pelosi for Speaker
By Thomas Lifson

Did someone explain to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the kind of vengeance a Speaker of the House can exact on a rebellious freshman Representative? Or has a brand new behavioral pattern entered her personal repertoire – carefully weighing alternatives and settling for the one that isn’t perfect, but merely better than the other choices, aka, “practicality”?

I don’t know the answer, but clearly something happened between leading protesters with a bullhorn outside Pelosi’s office and going on MSNBC Monday:

    Ocasio-Cortez all but dismissed a group of 16 House Democrats who say they'll vote against Pelosi on the House floor, and said most on that list would be more conservative than Pelosi.

    "If anything, I think that what it does is that it creates a window where we could potentially get more conservative leadership," Ocasio-Cortez told MSNBC on Monday night. "When you actually look at the signatories, it is not necessarily reflective of the diversity of the party."

    "We have about 16 signatories," she added. "Fourteen of them are male, there are very few people of color in the caucus, there's very few ideological diversity. It's not like there are progressives that are signing on, it's not like you have a broad-based coalition."

Did she wake up and find a horse's head at the foot of the bed?
Or fishes all wrapped up with the New York Times?

I think everyone entering Congress gets that treatment. Idealists of every persuasion are shown that they'll be ostracized, ineffective and out of office if they don't get with the program. It requires some seniority to have some weight to throw around.
