Democratic Party unity has been postponed until further notice. In a week in which Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of racism for picking on her because she is a woman of color, the rest of the party has declared war on the irritating freshman congresswoman. I’d’ say this is a civil war, but it’s most of the party against AOC and there’s never anything civil when democrats get in a rage.
As the battle lines are being drawn, we get this combat report from Fox News:
House Democrats and their aides are quickly losing patience with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over her office’s nonstop sparring with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other long-serving members, suggesting the speaker’s dismissive comments toward her may represent the view of a growing section of the caucus.
The last straw, for some, was the lawmaker’s claim that Pelosi was uniquely disrespectful to minority congresswomen.
“She is a complete fraud,” a senior Democratic source.
And the quotes keep coming:
“Her peers do not take her seriously. They think it is absurd to call the speaker racist. Offensive and absurd,” said the source.
“She is a nobody. She is a freshman member of Congress with no power. She is not worth the speaker’s brainpower,” the source said — accusing her of starting “needless distractions from serious issues,” and skipping meetings and conference calls in favor of media interviews, tweets and “glamour.”
Because the democrats pretty much operate like an organized crime family, they’re not just taking AOC out, they’re going after her family too. Another target is the progressive group Justice Democrats which basically put AOC in office.
Here’s reporter Brooke Singman with another democratic party contract hit:

And even the Congressional Black Caucus is going after AOC and the Justice Democrats. The Hill reports:
Congressional Black Caucus members are furious at Justice Democrats, accusing the outside progressive group aligned with firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) of trying to oust lawmakers of color, specifically African American lawmakers.
Justice Democrats is backing primary challengers to eight-term Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), a Hispanic Caucus member, and 10-term Rep. Wm. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.), a member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). The insurgent group also made noise this year about challenging Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), a CBC member seen as the heir apparent to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
“It just seems strange that the social Democrats seem to be targeting members of the Congressional Black Caucus, individuals who have stood and fought to make sure that African Americans are included and part of this process. I don’t know what that agenda is, but if they want to come after members of the Black Caucus, it’s two ways,” warned CBC member and NY Rep. Gregory Meeks.
And that ”two-ways” is to send AOC back to her career as cocktail technician.
Some Democrats are hoping that Ocasio-Cortez, the rabble-rousing freshman with 4.7 million Twitter followers, gets a primary challenge herself in 2020.
AOC always portrays herself as the victim so her response to this should both hilarious and pathetic. She has accused Pelosi of racism and the CBC hit back calling her and the Justice Democrats racist, so presumably AOC will call them double-racists, especially the members of the CBC. This is what happened when you live and die by identity politics.
This public battle in the democratic party is already great, but wait until the 20-plus dems running in 2020 start ripping each other to shreds. By the time the 2020 election rolls around the entire democratic party will be nothing but mutilated corpses and a smoking hull.
Not only will AOC destroy the democratic party, she will help guarantee President Trump’s reelection. At this point people have to be wondering if she’s really a GOP mole sent in to destroy the competition from within. Then again, she may just be a big enough idiot to do all of this on her own.
