A former Democratic National Committee official criticized the way that progressive Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other freshman Democrats have on occasion taken an oppositional stance toward their party's leadership, suggesting they don't yet understand how political negotiations work.Fox News', saying that he did not think that Ocasio-Cortez would be able to drive the Democratic party to the left.
"I don't think Alexandria and her friends ... they haven't learned, they haven't been in Congress enough to understand that negotiations happen in Congress," Aristimuño said."They don't happen on Twitter, they don't happen on Facebook. She doesn't seem to understand that yet. Maybe later on she will understand it."
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , Representative Ayanna Pressley and Representative Rashida Tlaib listen as Michael Cohen, former attorney and fixer for President Donald Trump, testifies before the House Oversight Committee on Capitol Hill on February 27 in Washington, D.C.He then praised Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from California, saying he believed she's done a"tremendous job.
Her comments came after the four representatives vocally opposed a Republican bill that Pelosi and many Democratsat the end of last month. The legislation provided $4.6 billion in additional funding for the Department of Homeland Security to deal with the increasing number of detained migrants. However, it did not include requirements for additional oversight or protections for detained migrants. That led the block of progressive freshmen in Congress to oppose the bill.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi departs following her weekly press conference at the U.S. Capitol on June 27 in Washington, D.C.
Agree with Ex DNC official, Cortez & her friends know nothing but too aggressive to harm USA. She will lead USA to a disaster. Is this what you wanted to be next 'Venezuela crisis', America? Abandon this lady & work with Trump is the answer!
In other words: status quo has contempt for social media. They miss a time of no mass politics and information blackout. Closed door negotiating has led us to this moment, socialism for the rich. I won't miss that.
Who said that? The Twitter-in-Chief heard that already? 'don't happen'? 'Many people say' it does...
Me when I hear the words 'ex DNC official.'
But policy does? realDonaldTrump seems to use Twitter as a platform more than most.
I don’t think Pelosi and the ex DNC chair know how things are done in this century. trump is making spur of the moment decisions, up to bringing us to the brink of war, on Twitter. As for Pelosi knowing she needs to work with Rep, she has met Mitch, right? She needs to catch up
President Trump is Running Our Foreign Policy on Twitter and Also The Government!
Note: 'Ex'
Tweeting is easy but is generally an empty gesture. Accomplishing objectives of substance seems to be lost on this group of politicians. As long as the media provides them with the notoriety they seek they will continue to grandstand at the expense of the citizens of our country.
The MoronSquad
They do now dummy
US special prosecutor R. Muller was the victim of an informant K. Kilimnik, who did not know one real fact and could report on large Russian-Ukrainian scams US and Western governments that relied on Kilimnik as a source used fake information
She will learn
Who is going to tell Trump?
What’s the difference... Trump thinks it works that way!
What dnc doesn’t seem to understand that if the president get shit done on Twitter and the dems and DNC just sit and stare from the bleachers they are losing.... old timers refusing to change
NEGOTIATIONS? Oh, are you talking about the ones that gave the super rich a $2 trillion tax break while the mid-class got a whopping $7 dollars a week on average? Or the NEGOTIATIONS that have us fighting for scraps from the rich?
Youth IS wasted on the young. They should spend that energy learning their 'craft' by asking to be mentored by the people they are discrediting. Few people can expect to know everything about such complex positions but they think they do. This cannot end well for the country.
Apparently everything happens on Twitter. Just ask trump. 🤷♀️
An unwillingness to compromise is a feature not a bug
Brain dead AOC doesnt understand alot
No. But battles to move public opinion do happen there ... and AOC is winning those battles in spades. This is not a brilliant statement coming from an 'Ex DNC official,' who apparently doesn't understand the power of social media to translate public opinion into votes.
Newsweek and MSM don't understand that that progressive voters don't buy the MSM spin. These voters want facts, pure and simple.
Really don't tell Trump u dopes
I think they know that quite well but their trying to bring a new day to the people and fight not us drink coffee all day and go to lunch.
What? You mean social media isn't real?!?!?! Next you will report that politicians use staffers to plant stories and work echo chambers.
I like that middle ladie's face like 'WTF ever, dude.'
Tell that to 45 the lieDon the con
Well it would be a source of transparency... Lol
Ya , but you sure realDonaldTrump understand that ?
Just Executive Branch policy, apparently.
Doesn’t trump tweet deals every day
