For months now, almost since the opening of Congress, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been at odds with each other. It started with gentle gibes, Pelosi talking euphemistically about AOC’s “enthusiasm,” for example. But over time it has grown more contentious, and now AOC is fighting back. (Snip) “The persistent singling out . . . it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful . . . the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color.” She has even gone so far to somewhat bizarrely claim that she was loaded with excellent committee assignments just to keep her busy.

It's so nice to read such cheerful news for a change.

Pass the popcorn! Hopefully, America has not yet fallen for the Socialist siren call! Only the naïve young who are indoctrinated in the colleges and universities. I heard it years ago in my small university from one professor and recognized it for what it was. Heaven, help us!

Pelousy deserves it. After all, AOC is the Frankenstein monster that the Democrats created in the first place.

Never thought Pelosi would appear as a voice of reason, relatively speaking. Too late though. Your party has outflanked you and has now embraced communism.

I love this internal power struggle that's gone public. May they destroy one another thoroughly. And even though they're not so openly engaged, please throw in hillary and obama. They need to get got someway somehow.

Sandy , the tip-stealing barmaid, is a gift that keeps on giving. I hope she keeps ripping up the Dems and making any and all Republicans look like complete geniuses.

If there are now two camps of Democrats, they in fact are:
1. The deranged anti-American socialists
2. The deranged anti-American socialists
I fail to see much difference between the two, much less a preference.

FTA: ''But generally, when progressives ask for a seat at the table it’s so they can tell everyone what to order and make someone else pay for it.''
Now THAT is a classic line, it nails socialists 100%.

#4 AOC may be the monster, but we're the villagers who will pay the price.

The main concern I have about this is Pelosi is putting AOC, Tlaib, and Omar out front while she works for the same thing quietly behind the scenes. Don't fall for it. They are all the same.

Pelosi can remove the lip-sticked Puerto Rican from all committee assignments.
The precedent? Jim Trafficant.
Beam me up, Scotty!
(INS could remove the muslim married to her brother, from the country. That perversion would be unacceptable, even to the king of perverts, Jeffrey Epstein.)

While it's satisfying to see our enemies fighting among themselves we shouldn't get complacent. As the old Democrat guard leaves us, we will have a House run by the Social Justice bunch forever. 75 years ago it was helpful that Hitler invaded his ex-ally, Russia, but look what happened for the next 60 years.

The only thing that would make this battle more entertaining would be if AOC happened to be 35 instead of 29 and she was one of the 24 coven members who are running for POTUS. As it is, Pelosi is controlling her full anger and contempt and trying to make the democrat party look sane. It's like holding a bunch of cats in a sack.

Their chronic lust for power, combined with their chronic dissatisfaction with anything short of utopia will always make them fight among themselves. They have nothing else in their lives but politics and politics makes little people like them feel as if they're actually important. Hence they struggle against one another. Look at the universities; they're as close to socialist cities as one can get and yet the radical students rally against the universities first. It's chronic and it's unending (and the universities which egg them on fully deserve them).

It’s nice to watch two malignant groups drawing blood on one another instead of us all the time. Too bad our illustrious media will never cover.

The media made the monster, Cortez, now Pelosi can't control the liberal bus careening to the far left and socialism. Cortez is setting the agenda not Pelosi. The three 'women of color' are going to run the show and Pelosi is clueless because she accused the President of racism and white supremacy now she's accused of the same thing. Thanks Nancy you set the stage now live with it.

True believers in communism are the destroyers of the system which cannot stand, whose rules and concepts are fundamentally bankrupt from the beginnning. Only by NOT implementing their "ideals" can they survive. As soon as the true believers get power, they will crash the system, because leftism ALWAYS fails.

I'm not a Pelosi fan by no means, BUT AOC needs to realize that the woman is in her position because the rest of the house members wanted her there.
AOC is a BRAT!

Nancy Pelosi is someone I have no respect for, but she could eat AOC in one gulp.

Well there are four or five real blabbermouth Democrat socialists in the House of Representatives this term who are intent on making life for Nancy Pelosi as difficult as possible. Next term there could possibly eight or ten as the Democrat Party turns hard shell socialist. Apparently the real hard core Democrat socialist movement is trying to primary out a number of old line liberal Democrats some in the so-called Black Caucus and replace them with hard core Democrat socialists.
It will be fun to watch.

It's like the war between Iraq and Iran. You hope it last forever and each side obliterates the other.
