In reply to the discussion: 'Outright disrespectful': Four House women struggle as Pelosi isolates them [View all]Thekaspervote

We are some of the most ardent hard working Dems you will ever find anywhere. It will not make you any friends here doing that
aoc is the one that called speaker Pelosi a racist, not the other way round! you wont find a woman or dem leader that cares more about womens rights, .. those of color or not.
Speaker Pelosi had a CLOSED door meeting with her constituents, she didnt scold them in public. She has every right to call them out behind closed doors. She in not the one that leaked it to the press!
