Ocasio-Cortez pushes back on Pelosi’s analysis of win: ‘...we’re in the middle of a movement’
The Hill ^ | 6/28/18 | Julia Manchester

New York Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is pushing back on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) characterization of her surprise primary win, saying the Democratic Party is in the midst of a movement.

“I think that we’re in the middle of a movement in this country,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN's Erin Burnett late Wednesday. “I feel this movement, but that movement is going to happen from the bottom up. That movement is going to come from voters.”

**SNIP**

Pelosi dismissed speculation in a news conference earlier Wednesday, saying Ocasio-Cortez's win should not be seen as a larger movement within the party at the national level.

"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," Pelosi said.

When you've finished your "movement", Alexi, be sure to wipe.

Pelosi will slap her away. The democrat party will not spend a dime on her in support in the next election.

Interpretation .... I’m busy on the toilet

Yup. She should eat more fiber. There's nothing so upsetting as a FedEx delivery requiring a signature when you're "in the middle of a movement".

Is there no chance for a Hispanic republican to achieve an upset?

Given that Slovenly Joe won his 2016 race 82.9% to 17.2%, such a Hispanic Republican would have a bright future!

I am not kidding, but when I read your post at a quick glance, I thought you said...”the Donk circus.”

That works, too. Like the Ninth Circus Court.

The old white elites are still needed for their money; they were originally needed to maintain the illusion that racial grievances are sufficient for a political platform to launch a career.

Not this year. Ocasio-Cortez's GOP opponent is 72-year old college teacher Anthony Pappas, who ran unopposed for the GOP nomination. He hasn't received a single donation. His campaign has no website or Facebook page. He has not filed the paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission needed to take donations.

It's safe to say, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be the next NY-14's next Representative.
