House Democratic Caucus rips AOC's chief of staff for criticizing lawmaker: 'Keep her name out of...

Leftard cat fight continues!

But the end result of AOC’s constant attacks is that Nancy’s “allies” have circled the wagons around her and thus increased her power.

You may be right.

If you check out this great political study by Pew, you'll find that the Solid Liberals (the far left, noisy lot like AOC) don't have a lot in common with rank and file Democrats. Now, Abortion Nancy is spiritually a Solid Liberal but I believe her APPEAL and public aura is more broad. Yet, the Solid Liberals ARE more politically active than the rank and file Dems.

The real question is: can Solid Liberals oust Nancy?

Parenthetically, Core Conservatives GENERALLY have more in common with rank and file Republicans, which is partly why Trump is doing so well.

Wow....
Gotta love these folks who are So sure they are worlds smarter than the rest of us, so they don’t even have to police their actions, because they think we are too stupid to even understand the words coming out of their mouths.

Whew.
Thank you Lord.

“...an astonishing tirade that laid bare the simmering tensions between the freshman congresswoman and her party’s leadership..”

Give ‘em all flame throwers and let them have at it.

[moovova]

That’s funny.

[jocon307]

Man, that tweet from the Dems is pretty harsh. We all need to die before these MORONS start running the world.

Yeah, I had to hunt for it. And I just went and saw it again, and then went to the 2018 Meltdown, and it's funny.... TYT keeps being absolutely puzzled by why Americans don't want socialism. I mean, they don't CALL it socialism, of course, it's "Progressive-ism" but it's socialism. And they keep saying things like "They're racist! They're just racist, they just vote against their own interests because they are racist!! We aren't getting our message out, that's the problem, we aren't making ourselves heard...."

And they really don't seem to understand that, no, they got their message out. It's "Let's be like Venezuela!!" and our answer, for the most part, is... "Uh, thanks, but no."

The four members of members of Nancy’s “squad,” are owned by the Justice Democrats. In particular, they own AOC lock, stock and barrel. They provide her scripts, control her speaking appearances, etc.

GOTTA LOVE THIS: Congressional Black Caucus members are furious at Justice Democrats accusing the outside progressive group aligned with firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) of trying to oust lawmakers of color, specifically African-American lawmakers. J/D is backing primary challengers to eight-term Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), a Hispanic Caucus member, and 10-term Rep. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.), a member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). The insurgent group also made noise this year about challenging Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), a CBC member seen as the heir apparent to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

==========================================

The CBC should lay the blame at Pelosi's feet.

Who's sorry now? She arranged the "diversity pose" for Rolling Stones cover---giving the renegades 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.

Nanzi went unusually ballistic over remarks belittling her made by AOC's smart*** COS Saikat Chakrabarti.

His Twitter response to the dust-up: “All these articles want to claim what a legislative mastermind Pelosi is, but I'm seeing way more strategic smarts from freshman members like @AOC, @IlhanMN , @RashidaTlai and @AyannaPressley. Pelosi is just mad that she got outmaneuvered (again) by Republicans,” Chakrabarti tweeted.

Pelosi studied coolness erupted as she was walking past reporters to say: “by the way, our caucus is very upset about some of the comments that have come from some of the staff of …”

Pelosi stopped short of saying Ocasio-Cortez, adding, “Perhaps you are not aware of what is going on?”

npr.org reported the Pelosi/AOC fight escalated when her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti,
compared moderate Democrats to segregationists in a tweet that has since been deleted.

Chakrabarti 's tweet suggested two moderate groups, the Blue Dogs and the New Democrats, should be called New Southern Democrats (Democrats who once supported segregation). Chakrabarti added, "They certainly seem hell bent to do to black and brown people today what the old Southern Democrats did [in] the 40s." Chakrabarti continued to argue on Twitter that the moderate wing may not be racist but was still backing policies that could harm communities of color.

Chakrabarti's comments enraged moderates and members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Ala., the vice chair of the moderate New Democrat Coalition and a member of the CBC, released a statement condemning the remarks. "To even insinuate that I, or any other member of the New Dems, would promote policies that are racist and hateful or ones that would negatively impact communities of color is deeply offensive and couldn't be further from the truth," Sewell said.

The Chakrabarti/AOC controversy was so widespread that Pelosi addressed the issue directly Wednesday in a weekly closed-door meeting for all House Democrats. She called on members to have "some level of respect and sensitivity" to the "individual experience" that each member brings to Congress, according to a transcript of her remarks provided by a source in the room.

How is it AOC was once slobbing up bar spills and is now in Congress and wearing a different $2000 outfit everyday?

BACKSTORY: “Justice Democrats” and “Brand New Congress” are a group of Bernie Sanders ex-staffers who decided 2018 midterms should be all about Bernie’s policies, finding 400 Bernie carbon copies to dump into races. They held auditions. AOC was hired to run in NY.

NOTE
<><> “Brand New Congress” mastermind is Saikat Chakrabarti
<><> “Justice Democrats” is Cenk Uygur, a Turkish-born Muslim.

Making a pile of money musta been a huge incentive. Read on.

FAST FORWARD TO TODAY.......an FEC complaint was filed alleging AOC’s COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, created multiple private companies—LLCs—to siphon off campaign contributions from her various PACs for personal use......

BTW, AOC has a lot more in common with Bernie than socialism. Besides socialism (gag)....
AOC’s COS used to be Bernie’s....wait for it.....”Director of Organizing Technology.”

AND THIS—Saikat Chakrabarti, is a proven tech expert.
(A) He co-founded a web design tool,
(B) He built up the product team at the payment processor “Stripe”.........
(C) He then came to the Sanders campaign after (cough) growing disillusioned with the tech world.

Saikat Chakrabarti was Bernie’s Director of Organizing Technology. Even old man Bernie knew enough to hire a tech expert.

So, I guess (smirk) Chakrabarti’s tech skills musta come in mighty handy when donations to Bernie were wire-transferred to the DNC and ended up in 2016 candidate Hillary’s account.

Debbie W/S headed the DNC at the time and was ousted b/c of her bias for Hillary.

Course, none of us heard about any of this, but.....
<><> Chakrabarti-the-tech-whiz did find out about the DNC theft, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did speak to D/W/S about it, or to Debbie’s tech expert, Imran Awan, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti did tell Bernie he was fleeced, didnt he?
<><> Chakrabarti WAS working for Bernie, wasnt he?

Now the stunning details about that FEC complaint:

The FEC complaint asserts that AOC’s COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, early on established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC’s campaign:
<><> the “Brand New Congress PAC,” and,
<><> the “Justice Democrats PAC.”

After mucho money was raised from the progressive suckers, Chakrabarti systematically transferred $885,000+ in PAC contributions to his private companies with similar names:
<><> the “Brand New Campaign LLC,” and,
<><> the “ Brand New Congress LLC.”

Saikat Chakrabarti’s private companies, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.

NOTE WELL: it’s a much-used criminal act to enrich oneself, to open bank accounts using similarly named entities to siphon off money, to hide it from partners, associates, investors etc.

SIPHONINGS A CINCH It’s easy to siphon off money for oneself by putting checks into the new accounts with similar names, depositing checks that were made out to the original entity. Even your bank advises that if a check-writer “mis-spelled” your name, to just endorse the check with the correct name.

AND PRESTO: a check made out to Brand New Congress PAC, is deposited in the Brand New Congress LLC account.

===============================

ANALYSIS -— Chakrabarti’s companies appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of obscuring how AOC’s donations were used. The arrangement skirted reporting requirements and may have violated the $5,000 limit on contributions, according to the FEC complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group.

Campaign finance attorneys described the arrangement as “really weird” and an indication “there’s something amiss.” They said there was no way of telling where the political donations went — meaning (A) the donations could have been pocketed, or, (B) used by the LLC’s to pay for off-the-books campaign operations.-—SNIP-—SOURCED FROM FR.

JUST WONDERING .....does Chakrabarti have a reputation among Democraps for facilitating the conversion of campaign donations?

Maybe we should ask millionaire landowner Socialist Bernie (smirk)?

AOC's such a frickin hypocrite-----never mentions how she manipulated policy in the US Congress to get her
boyfriend on the govt gravy train. Digging reveals suspicious payments to AOC’s boyfriend began early.

FACTS ON FILE
<><> Absent a waiver from House Ethics, family members have to be volunteers to get official house.gov email addresses,
<><> AOC's boyfriend got a govt email address immediately
<><> AOC doesn’t believe in having unpaid govt workers; according to her COS they have no office volunteers.
<><> So boyfriend Roberts is designated as staff but also isn’t "officislly" on AOC’s staff,
<><> yet Roberts showed up in the House directory as processing into AOC's personal office as a staffer.

That explains why AOC was so determined to pay "volunteers"---she and the b/f would richly benefit.

[PGalt]

AOC is poisoning the feeble old ‘rats. They have no clue. Pelosi and her processing problems are embarrassing for the ‘rats. They are trapped in their maze. Nearing 2020 and this is the state of the republic. Good lord.

Thanks to all posters.
