Wanted: 'A very nasty and very public civil war' among Democrats | Opinion
Opinion by John Stoehr • 15h
I think I am done with Nancy Pelosi. I think I am done with the rest of the senior leadership of the Democratic Party, too. They had a good run. Indeed, I have called Pelosi the greatest House speaker of the 21st century. In 2022, I celebrated the transformational productivity of the so-called “gerontocracy.” That was then, though. This is now.
I am done.
Pelosi is no longer the speaker, but she’s still acting like it. She advocated openly for Virginia Congressman Gerry Connolly, 74, to be the next ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, after Maryland’s Jamie Raskin left it. She and other “veteran lawmakers,” according to Axios, chose Connolly because he was next in line.
They could have picked New York’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 35, who would have come to the leadership with her “far-reaching public platform, her ability to communicate and her energetic support for colleagues in recent congressional elections,” Axios reported.
In other words, they could have chosen a Democrat capable of leading the opposition against the incoming obscenities of Donald Trump.
