The AOC-Pelosi War Was Inevitable

For months now, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Nancy Pelosi have been gibing at each other. Now it is turning into all-out war, as it was always going to.

For months now, almost since the opening of Congress, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been at odds with each other. It started with gentle gibes, Pelosi talking euphemistically about AOC’s “enthusiasm,” for example. But over time it has grown more contentious, and now AOC is fighting back.

AOC says that “The persistent singling out . . . it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful . . . the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color.” She has even gone so far to somewhat bizarrely claim that she was loaded with excellent committee assignments just to keep her busy. Too busy to perform some other function, one surmises, but its not clear what that other function is.

It was always going to come to this, for a couple of reasons. One is the threat Pelosi believes AOC represents to moderate Democrats in Congress. Another is their relative ages and investment horizon in the House. And finally, there is a sharp ideological difference between how these two powerful women view America, its institutions, and its moral authority.

For years, every time a Republican would be against a Democrat Party member's position, they were branded racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.
Now the the new crop of Democrats come along, and they are farther left than ever before, they are turning on the elder wing of their own party, calling them racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.
Why wouldn't they?
It's what they learned from their party elders growing up.
They don't fight on the merits of their proposals.
They seek to marginalized their opposition through name calling.
The young ones,they  learned well, and they are using it against their own.
Some of these white liberals in academia and politics have run around saying white people are inherently racist, so why wouldn't AOC call them racist?

I love watching it, actually.....

What did Pelosi's daughter say about her mother? "My mom will 'cut your head off and you won't even  know you're bleeding,”

The bitch must have a dull knife.  AOC must be using Nair to depilate.
