40. Agree..speaker Pelosi is the speaker for a reason. They need to work with her as a team.

Especially and including aoc. Fine to bring new ideas to the table, but as a freshman you may not have your way.

Speaker Pelosi held a closed door meeting and talked with them, she didn’t do it in public for heavens sake! They could have chosen to left it behind closed doors instead of leaking it. That’s just trying to stir up sympathy for their hurt feelings...
