AOC became a ‘pariah’ among Democrats in Congress, clashed with Pelosi, new book reveals.
NYP: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quickly emerged as a darling of progressive activists, but inside the halls of Congress she became a “pariah” among fellow Democrats, a new book claims.
Even before Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — widely known by her initials AOC — ascended to the House of Representatives in 2019, she rankled party leadership and progressive luminaries in the lower chamber, according to “The Squad: AOC and the Hope of a Political Revolution,” out on Tuesday.
“While somebody like Obama wants to be seen as being all things to all people, Ocasio Cortez actually thinks she can be all things to all people while leading a political revolution,” author Ryan Grim wrote, per a preview of the tome published by the Daily Mail on Sunday.
Grim recounts how the firebrand progressive — who unseated 10-term incumbent and Democratic Caucus Chair Joe Crowley — upset top members of the party early on in her career.
In July 2018, the month after AOC beat Crowley in the Democratic primary, she met with then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — who urged the 28-year-old lefty to drop the slogan “Abolish ICE.” more here
AND YET SHE’S THERE TO STAY
SO TIRED OF NYC PROBLEMS THAT THEY NEVER FIX WITH THEIR VOTES
F ‘EM
As I remember, that fat bastard Cenk Uygur from the young turkeys actually held auditions for that office and came up with AOC. At one point in time they were telling her what to spout out of her blow hole, I wonder if that’s still the case?
That’s all well and good, but her Green New Deal is the foundation for Globalist tyranny, and its tenets, which we all ridiculed, are steadily being implemented.
And if she’s such a pariah, why is she still there? The Dems could readily be rid of her if they really wanted. She’s not going anywhere.
She would easily fit in a woodchipper. Just saying.
AOC, Americas Greta. Just useless.
Ella es una puta sucia.
The real cautionary bit is, in that part of NYC, AOC is nowhere near the craziest leftard you can find. They are thick on the ground there.
The NY Dems could have just gotten rid of her district, they had lost a seat due to population decline anyway. I thought after the Amazon debacle they might do it.
She’s an idiot, who believes her own press.
New York elected her, New York deserves her.
where would con-grease be without a. optional-kotex?
“Ohhh shithead – make me a Tom Collins – then go eat your hay quietly!” The phrase she hears the most
I loathe her politics as much as the next guy: she is pretty cute though.
I’m really disappointed in Nasty Pelosi.
She coulda kneecapped AOC and fitted her with a new pair of cement overshoes.
I had to laugh every time I heard a feminist say “the world would be a better place if it was run by women”. They obviously never worked in an environment with 2 or more women. The pettiness, backbiting, and bickering never end. (My experience, as a general rule)
