Speaker Nancy Pelosi chided progressives in a closed-door meeting Wednesday, calling on them to address their intra-party grievances privately rather than blasting their centrist colleagues on Twitter.
“I’m here to help the children when it’s easy and when it’s hard. Some of you are here to make a beautiful pâté but we’re making sausage most of the time,” Pelosi told the caucus. Pelosi questioned the actual influence the group has, given that they were the only four Democrats who opposed the House’s original humanitarian package. Ocasio-Cortez and the other progressives — Reps. Rashida Tlaib , Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley — quickly fired back, criticizing Pelosi’s remarks in a series of tweets.
"They certainly seem hell bent to do black and brown people today what the old Southern Democrats did in the 40s," Chakrabarti wrote on Twitter before deleting the post. Pelosi’s speech is part of an effort by Democratic leaders to knit the party back together after the bitter border funding fight last month.
And she is so darn right too much belittling of each other's how your opponent sees you in that light?
Dems need to stop quibbling and watch what's going on!!! Start the Impeachment Inquiry already!!!!!!
Ahh just what we need petty infighting
Perfect response:PelosiResign. Pelosi is going repeatedly hard against the Progressives in her own party more than she's gone against Trump or GOP. The new Rep's were elected to speak up, not fall-in-line. Pelosi folds when she needs to hold strong. Primary Her! NoMiddleGround
I guess that didn't work because here we are reading about it on Twitter ... so ... 🤔
She should resign
ResignAOC‼️
They are NOT going to listen to Pelosi ..
Well go figure, maybe Nancy should also take care about her public statements as well potkettleblack Is a tweet substantively different from a public statement?
Time for SpeakerPelosi to shut their pie holes.
Spanked those kiddos !
To the woodshed with all of them!
It's disheartening that so many young people actually believe there's a difference between an establishment Democrat and a establishment Republican. If you truly want change, you must summon the courage to become independent.
She’s right! The battle should be against Trump’s regime and his racist’s policies.
We need to find out who these hold outs are in Democratic House because they need to find new jobs.
ぱかぱか
Acting like insulting Trump supporters is NOT the way to beat Trump They want division in our party..and some are handing it to them We are better then that
Nancy, You will see overwhelming support for Impeachment AFTER the House holds meaningful PUBLIC HEARINGS. You look WEAK!
Now that's a mama...😘😘 Love
Who is she a dictator
I'm all for the progressives making things uncomfortable in chamber and in substantive interviews. The Naner Naner boo divisive tweets are a gift to the RNC and Trump 2020.
Just talk smack about them to reporters, like she does
Good job Nancy, you are just trying to give th3 election to trump it seems like. As long as you get money from your donors you don't care.
And they said 'when you stop running to the NYT to talk shit about us and stop obstructing every ounce of momentum we build for our constituents issues.' right?
She's not wrong.
ot all of us have the luxury of sitting back and watching our democracy crumble into dust. Do your goddamn job and stop worrying about everyone else.
It's obvious to everyone Pelosi's colluding with Trump! Trump said so as she was chosen speaker; 'Nancy Pelosi deserves to be chosen Speaker of the House. If they give her a hard time; perhaps we'll add some Republican votes. She's earned this great honor!' impeachandimprisonnow
Respectfully, SpeakerPelosi needs to stop scolding her colleagues and START HONORING HER OATH OF OFFICE. ImpeachmentHearingsNow
Man I can’t wait till Pelosi scolds Trump as bad as she scolds her own caucus
I love u Speaker Pelosi but muzzling young progressives is a red line.
Time to impeach! Time to impeach! Time to impeach!
The damage is already done.
Has SpeakerPelosi seen Maureen Dowd’s interview with her?
They should tweet more.
While these issues paint the landscape of Twitter, a conversation I had with a former Democrat advised that New Jersey is making a major political shift because of AOC and other left wingers. Every day since the heady opening of Dem Congress, electoral votes are slipping away.
those lib women of color..the future not Pelosi.. reality check.. SpeakerPelosi
'Eating there own' Priceless!!
Yes Progressives! Do Not Tweet!! Let us fund Trump's concentration camps, you idiots! Shhhh!! Resistance
I hope they rebel against her. We didn't vote for Pelosi, and we don't want her to silence our representatives. Pelosi needs to go. She's as out of touch as Biden is!
how about instead, crypt-keeper SpeakerPelosi do her job instead of farting around like an effete millionaire aristocrat... oh
Interesting how demonization and hatred of the other side has led to this happening for both parties in the last decade. For the GOP it was the Tea Party. For the Dems it's these people. We'll see if Pelosi does better at reining them in than Boehner did.
Good. These young representatives need to understand that America ain't NY. Division in party guarantees Trump reelection
Time for SpeakerPelosi to wake the f up and see which direction her party (and the people) are moving. Seeking justice against a corrupt potus isn’t “progressive” or “far left”. It’s your goddamned job.
We all know the most silent party is the real enablers in GOVERMENT.REPUBLICANS!!!
'Child abuse caucus'. Is there anything these clowns won't say or pander to
Or do as SpeakerPelosi Do a Public interview then expect respect?
& next time she wants to pose on a front cover. She needs to get 3 white women who have more influence in the caucus. WOC are not props to make Nancy's mix legacy look like something great. White women are not the backbone of the Dem party.
