Pelosi says Ocasio-Cortez win shouldn't be viewed as something larger

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Wednesday that progressive New York congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's surprise win should not be viewed at something larger within the Democratic Party.

"They made a choice in one district. So let’s not get yourself carried away as an expert on demographics and the rest of that. Within the caucus or outside the caucus, we are...again, we have an array of genders, generations, geography, and there is opinion in our caucus, and we’re proud of that," Pelosi told reporters at a news conference.

"The fact that in a very progressive district in New York, it went more progressive than...well, Joe Crowley is a progressive, but more she’s left than Joe Crowley, is about that district. It is not to be viewed as something that stands for anything else. Are we excited about another generation of people coming into the commons? I am particularly excited that so many women are running across the country, because when I came to Congress usually people had raised their families or done something else before they came. The men were an average ten years younger when they came. And now we have women stepping up earlier, weighing home and work in a way that’s going to benefit all the American people," she said.

ETC...

Note to Pelosi: You have been a fool to, and a tool of the hard Left all your political life, and now they intend to eat you and your kind in the Democratic Party that you helped them subvert.

No room in the tent for moderate White Men. The only White men who will temporarily hang on in the Democrat Socialist Party are activist extreme socialists like Bernie, Any Cuomo and Gov. Moonbeam.


I can’t think offhand of any prominent gay male politicians, but I assume since they are gay, they are welcome in the Democrat big tent.

Or I should say, as long as they are liberal leftist types, they are welcome.

The young lady is the face of socialism Venezuela style. Everything free, not poverty, milk the rich (i.e. middle class) and the corporations.

She represents the democrat party in every way.

>>>we have an array of genders<<<

I didn’t realize that TWO is considered an Array.


I noted that too. But we live in a world in which there are something like 56 gender identities, depending who you talk to.

I’m going to have to go to reeducation camp on that one. I know about male and female, then I can understand you have a gay male, lesbian female, etc. What the heck are the other 50+ gender identities?

Governor Tim Kaine seems to be struggling with "identity" issues.

"Eventually the Democrat party will be replaced by the La Raza party."

Great point...they asked for it.

LOL, Tim Kaine.

I’m still a bit embarrassed for him, and Democrats, thinking back to his absurd behavior and rudeness in the VP debate with Mike Pence.

Whatever Pelosi says, the opposite is true.

So, Ocasio-Cortez win should be viewed as something larger

In the Democratic party, race and sex is more important than ability. If that attitude takes over the country, we will be the Balkans.

The rule of opposites—take everything Nancy said and imagine the exact opposite.

Then you have what is much closer to the truth.

So, we know this was a major defeat for the corrupt Democratic establishment.

We know they are terrified that young committed Marxist minorities will take over their party.

We know this is a normal Democratic district, not an outlier.

We know that the party only has male and female candidates, but there are something like fifty-six gender types out there in crazy lefty-land, and they will be competing for Democrat seats.

See how it is done?

Breathtakingly condescending. How they allow this botox-addled loon to rule their party I'll never know. But I'm glad they do!

Never understood the Gay thing.

Life is as simple as a Cereal Box, Tab A always goes into Slot B.

Then again, I’ve always had a live and let live attitude.

The problem arises when tolerance isn’t enough to satisfy those you disagree with, it’s vigorous compliance or else you’re a Nazi.

I would interpret the vote as a rejection of the tired, corrupt establishment.

It looks like the Democrats immigration policy
turned around and bit them on their collectivist
diversified asses. Couldn't they foresee that?

And isn't this what all of those white Democrats have
been advocating. Pelosi should be jumping for joy.
She didn't know her own favorite Democrat polticians
would be first on the hit list.

It was all of those "right-wing", white, conservative
Christian Republicans who were supposed to be replaced.

The liberal white progressive democrats thought they could flood in tens of millions of Mexicans, and that they would do as they were told. It never occurred to them that when they were the majority in the neighborhood, they would vote in their own.
