'The Squad' revives feud with Pelosi: Be aware when you 'single us out' that we're 'women of color'
Fox News, Jul 17, 2019, Joseph A. Wulfsohn
The four progressive congresswomen who are currently in a nasty feud with President Trump offered a not-so-subtle warning to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, the next time she "singles them out."
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich, Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass, often referred to as "The Squad," sat down with "CBS This Morning" host Gayle King on Tuesday as the House voted to formally condemn Trump over tweets that Democrats labeled as racist.
King asked the congresswomen if they've been in contact with Pelosi.
"Our teams are in communication," Ocasio-Cortez responded.
"But shouldn't you be meeting face-to-face?" King asked.
"She's the new member, not the speaker," Tlaib interjected. "She has every right to sit down with her at any moment, any time with any of us. She is Speaker of the House. She can ask for a meeting to sit down with us for clarification."
Tlaib continued, "Acknowledge the fact that we are women of color, so when you do single us out, be aware of that and what you're doing, especially because some of us are getting death threats, because some of us are being singled out because of our backgrounds, because of our experiences and so forth."
King followed up with Ocasio-Cortez, asking if she was "interested in having a conversation" with Pelosi, which Ocasio-Cortez responded, "Absolutely."

At least they're now being open about the reason they refer to themselves as 'persons of color' - its a title of privilege.
Criticism not allowed.

They are in essence declaring Nancy a racist. They are creating dissension within the party and I think it will trickle down to the DEM voting base, maybe or they will completely capture the Hispanic AND black vote. Harris is calling for reparations. If you are a white DEM running, you can pretty much consider you're not going to get the nomination. Lots of DEM white folks left in the House though. Will they implode and destruct? :pop41:

Be aware when you 'single us out' that we're 'women of color'
I have a dream that my children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Sounds like she thinks Caucasians are the new Jewry and that there needs to be a little Rwanda going on.

Well it worked pretty well for 0bama so why not them? If you don't agree with us 100% and do whatever we want then you obviously must be a racist - there's no other possible explanation.

There's a new "s" word in town and I won't use it. :tongue2:

Gee,so is every other woman.
Show me someone colorless.
If whites were colorless,how would blacks and browns be able to recognize and designate them as someone to hate?
