After more than two dozen moderate Democrats broke from their party's progressive wing and sided with Republicans on a legislative amendment Wednesday, New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reportedly sounded the alarm in a closed-door meeting Thursday and said those Democrats were "putting themselves on a list."
The legislation that prompted the infighting was a bill that would expand federal background checks for gun purchases, the Washington Post reported. But a key provision requiring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be notified if illegal immigrants attempt to purchase guns saw 26 moderate Democrats side with Republicans.
According to the Post, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi scolded her wayward center-leaning colleagues, telling them: "We are either a team or we’re not, and we have to make that decision.”
But Ocasio-Cortez reportedly took it a step further. She said she would help progressive activists unseat those moderates in their districts in the 2020 elections, the report said. Her spokesman Corbin Trent told the paper that she made the "list" comment during the meeting.
“She said that when activists ask her why she had to vote for a gun safety bill that also further empowers an agency that forcibly injects kids with psychotropic drugs, they’re going to want a list of names and she’s going to give it to them,” Trent said, referring to ICE.

we will see.
They have already purged all conservative Democrats form their party, now they are going to purge the moderates.
Just like Stalin
All they will have left will be total ideologues and no compromises will be possible.
That will be a formula for Civil War 2.......................and it won’t be nice like that last one..................
“She’s totally indoctrinated.

She’s just a symptom. This is a worldwide communist power grab and we are falling right in line. A global push to flood White nations with third world parasites. A global push to produce generations of self-hating White people. Who could be behind this?
Right. To hell with what the voters sent you to do...0
Don’t bet on it.....................She is the future of the Democrat Party....................She’s ‘The Boss’ (her own words).......................
Hopefully she will force these “moderate” Democrats into primary battles against far left opponents. Most of these “moderates” were elected in traditionally Republican districts. If the far leftists get the nomination, it will be easier to reclaim those seats.
Her party is using her like a heat shield on a re-entry vehicle. It takes all the heat then breaks apart and falls away. She is merely vocalizing what has been on their minds for a long time.
Right. To hell with what the voters sent you to do
AOC only got like 10 votes anyway ,LOL
Pelosi is SINISTER, the ditz act is only a partial act.
Diane in the senate is ruthless too.
AOC has made some powerful enemies.
And she’s dumb so she’s in way over her head.
