Ocasio-Cortez passed over for influential House committee

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t get a seat on the powerful tax writing committee where she sought to push her progressive agenda of Medicare for All, free college tuition and a green new deal.

Instead, the open downstate New York slot on the House Ways and Means Committee went to a moderate Democrat, Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi, a former CPA, attorney and county executive.

Suozzi will assume the committee seat of Rep. Joe Crowley, the Queens Democrat Ocasio-Cortez defeated last year in a stunning upset.

Guess she is too far left for the establishment Democrats.

[proust]

Hope she didn’t do too much to get it. 😏

[morphing libertarian]

She is on the Joint Committee to Convert the US Economy to Communism. Bernie is the senate representative on the committee.

[hinckley buzzard]

Of course. They rightfully see her as a loose cannon and a danger to their authority.

[CatOwner]

The DEMs only want her for symbolic reasons.

[a fool in paradise]

Tell that anti-semitic muslim congresswoman that she’s about to get Passovered by Democrats.

Have cameras rolling.

[CaptainK]

When Tom Suozzi is consider a moderate, the world has turned upside down.

[17th Miss Regt]

She should be on the Armed Services Committee because she is a loose cannon.

Let’s see...

A. former CPA, attorney and county executive

OR

B. bartender who steals coworker tips

[Reno89519]

She is a bar tender so they can keep her busy fetching drinks.

[gaijin]

Dance, MoFo, dance..!

Dance, MoFo, dance..!

[Windflier]

This was predictable. Pelosi is telling her she’s too big for her britches.

[txhurl]

Crazy bitch will only scream louder.

[SunkenCiv]

slot on the House Ways and Means Committee went to a moderate Democrat, Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi, a former CPA, attorney and county executive... [replacing] Rep. Joe Crowley...

She may still wind up on the By Any Ways and Means Necessary Committee.
