(CNN) — Three progressive House Democrats who won their seats by challenging Democratic incumbents are rebuking a new rule by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee that prohibits the organization from conducting business with "political vendors" that support primary challengers to incumbents, calling the rule a "blacklist" that weakens the party.
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ro Khanna of California have called out the DCCC for the new rule, which is included on a form for vendors looking to partner with the organization.
"The core mission of the DCCC is electing House Democrats, which includes supporting and protecting incumbents," the form read. "To that end, the DCCC will not conduct business with, nor recommend to any of its targeted campaigns, any consultant that works with an opponent of a sitting Member of the House Democratic Caucus."
On Saturday, Ocasio-Cortez, who defeated former Rep. Joe Crowley last summer in the party's primary, cast the rule as a "blacklist" and a "boycott," writing in a tweet that it's "extremely divisive & harmful to the party."

Bartender LOL
PLEASE let them be the face of the demonrat party!!
Her approval ratings are worse than mine among ex girlfriends :)
blacklist?
Black is bad?
really?
Have they told their vote plantation that yet?
Their corruption is on public display for all to see. RINOs are probably doing the same thing but are being quiet about it. On both sides of the aisle, politics thy name is corruption. The Founding Fathers wouldn’t stoop to pi$$ on nearly all of them!
Yeah, what do they mean “BLACK” list???
What are they implying! :)
Pass the popcorn. Thanks Libloather.
Let’s see here - the Democrats are alienating women , young people, blacks Hispanics , and with their support of Muslims - gays and lesbians
This move right here just tries to poison the exuberant Marxist movement that they’ve been nurturing for years
Let’s see if they have any more ways they could shoot them selves in the foot. Methinks yes
This is so awesome. These folks aren’t going anywhere. They grew up in the generation that was never told, NO. When incumbents start getting into a primary fight with some far-left loon, like these three, they’ll either go more Left, alienating on part of their base, or, more moderate/center alienating the other part of the base.
Oh, you poor, dumb lefties. The party gets what the party wants. Ever hear of “super”-delagates?
Yeah, your votes don’t matter.
The bartender’s going to lose this one...
