AOC defends claim that Pelosi targets 'women of color' as 'just pointing out a pattern'
Washington Times ^ | July 11, 2019 | Douglas Ernst

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says that media attention over her racial complaints about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is unwarranted as she’s “just pointing out a pattern.” The New York Democrat told CNN’s Manu Raju that claims of “persistent singling out … out of newly elected women of color” by Mrs. Pelosi should be interpreted through a broader context.

At issue, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said Thursday, were cultural issues that are bigger than intraparty disputes.

“Well I think it’s really just pointing out a pattern, right?” she asked Mr. Raju. “We’re not talking just about progressives, it’s singling out four individuals and knowing the media environment we’re operating in … knowing the amount of death threats we get, knowing the amount of concentration of attention, I think it’s worth asking why.”

Mrs. Pelosi has attempted to navigate a political minefield since the freshman representative – described this week as “the hero of the left wing of the Democrats” by the New Yorker Radio hour — was elected.

Either Nance drops the boom or she will just become more powerful.

Problem is if she does, she will go independent and take maybe 20-40 Dems with her.

She’s gonna have a SOLID 30 percent approval across the country and that’s where it will top out. :)

She will win her district again as her approval there is HIGH, contrary to what’s been posted here.

And she will continue to help Trump and Rs win if they play their cards right.

Trump will, the other Rs seem to hate winning.

Pelosi can’t drop the boom.

She, and her ideology, made AOC. Any woman and any non white person has the ability to immediately demand homage from all white people.

What grips the DNC now is this. What do they do with all the white people in its ranks?

They need to settle this by dueling with sawed-off shotguns. At three paces. No matter which one loses, America wins.

The pattern?

That the well organized pinkos who selected you and your fellow crop of Bolshevik freshmen intentionally excluded white candidates. There’s your pattern.

Pelosi "made" AOC....triggering the ability for WOC to immediately demand homage from all white people.
the DNC problem is what to doith all the white people in its ranks?

You got that right.

Nanzi is being pressured by the Dem rank-and-file ....and they are pissed.
Nancy is scurrying to cover her *** ....
downplaying the flurry of media attention Nancy herself generated for her progressive sweethearts.

Who's sorry now? Nancy is hastening to show the R/F that she is trully regretful. She arranged the "diversity pose"
for the Rolling Stones cover---giving them instant fame.

What in God's name was Nanzi thinking-------that highlighting Democrats' diversity is a plus?
That Americans would fall all over themselves with happiness? That Dem votes were reassured?

Democrats' Darlings of Diversity

Lookit how proud Pelosi is of this anti-Semite, Christian hater......
Nanzi put Omar on the Foreign Relations Committee, bowing to Omar's request.

she’s “just pointing out a pattern.” Okay, lets point out other patterns. Blacks commit the majority of violent crimes in this country even though they are only 13% of the population. So when the prison population has a majority population on blacks, its not racism, its not social injustice, its statistically pointing to a pattern that is more cause and effect than racism.
