Nancy Pelosi once again mocks Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for using Twitter for back-up support

Maybe 'chide'? Seems more like teaching than 'mocking'.


IDK...I've gotten the impression that they work together better than the media like to portray. They are definitely trying to stoke up a lot of internecine conflict among Democrats right now.

because they know the R's are eating their own

That's not mocking. It's perhaps a sardonic "it doesn't matter how much online support she gets. She needs Congressional votes" statement.

I feel like this is purposefully trying to find a rift between AOC and Pelosi.

And Pelosi has to see how Trump whips up online fervor. It's a way of communicating with the broader public now. I hate that politicians take everything to twitter, but it's not going to change.

This is a bullshit crapstirring article imo

that were mocking or attacking. What a reach. Divisive rhetoric was all from the ‘reporter’.

that AOC looks after the welfare of her constituents rather than try to become a celebrity.

Representatives are supposed to represent the constituents of their district while Senators represent the interests of the state. While I appreciate Ocasio-Cortez's enthusiasm and her offering a living wage for her staff, she had a responsibility to her district not to Twitter.

Of is that merely an inference on your part?

What relevance does it have to the story? It doesn't seem to be some sort of writer's quirk, since the writer doesn't state AOC's age.

Couple that with the obvious shit-stirring headline...

Things that make you go hmmm.

young AOC vs. old Pelosi.

At the end of the Yahoo article there is this:

"This isn’t the first time the House Speaker derided Ms Ocasio-Cortez. In February, Ms Pelosi scoffed at the Green New Deal, a climate change proposal introduced by the New York Democrat, in an interview with Politico.

“It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive,” Ms Pelosi said. “The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it, right?”"

But if one follows the link to the original article, you'll find this:

"sked about the proposal on Thursday, Pelosi struck a less dismissive tone.
"Quite frankly I haven't seen it, but I do know that it's enthusiastic, and we welcome all the enthusiasm that's out there," she said at her weekly news conference. "I'm very excited about it all, and I welcome the Green New Deal and any other proposals.""

It appears that the author of the Yahoo article, Sarah Harvard, cherry picked segments of other articles to produce click bait.

Yet she "once again mocks" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? The reporter and editor both need to take some journalism courses, maybe learn how to use the qualifier "appeared to".

Free market media is effective at duping people into believing conflict exists where it doesn't. Advertisers love it almost as much as shareholders.

The important thing is we allege our sincerity.
