 Nancy Pelosi trying to ‘tank’ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s House Oversight Committee bid: report
Story by Victor Nava • 4h

Pelosi, 84, would rather see Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) serve as ranking member on the high-profile panel and is “actively working to tank” the 35-year-old New York Democrat’s bid, according to Punchbowl News.

The former House speaker has been “making calls” urging Democrats to support Connolly, 74, over Ocasio-Cortez, the outlet reported on Thursday.
 
Pelosi has publicly backed Connolly’s candidacy but the scope of the powerful Democrat’s lobbying campaign was previously unknown.

Apparently, Pelosi doesn't like the thought of another female democrat being as corrupt as she. :shrug:

 Nancy Pelosi trying to ‘tank’ AOC’s House Oversight Committee bid: report
By Victor Nava   
Published Dec. 13, 2024, 2:18 a.m. ET

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly launched a behind-the-scenes effort to thwart Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s bid to serve as the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee.

Pelosi (D-Calif.), 84, would rather see Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) serve as ranking member on the high-profile panel and is “actively working to tank” AOC’s bid, according to Punchbowl News.

The former House speaker has been “making calls” urging Democrats to support Connolly, 74, over Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), 35, the outlet reported Thursday.

Pelosi has publicly backed Connolly’s candidacy, but the scope of the powerful Democrat’s lobbying campaign was previously unknown.

Connolly and Ocasio-Cortez are in a heated intra-party race to replace current Oversight Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.).

Deep down in the recesses of Pelosi’s political pedigree, she knows AOC (and her ilk) can destroy what is left of the party.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

But ... but ... but ... I thought Hakeem Jeffries was Dems' Minority Leader, not Pelosi?

'Emeritus' must be Latin for 'ignore that pickled hag behind the curtain'.



You're doing a great job destroying the Dem party from the inside, Nance.  You tears sustain me.

Any truth to the rumor that AOC was just behind Pelosi before she…fell?

Yup. With a roller skate in one hand, and a banana peel in the other...
