Speaker Pelosi says her meeting with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez on Friday went very well; they discussed "working together to meet the needs of our districts and our country, fairness in our economy and diversity in our country.”

10:30 AM - Jul 26, 2019

See? Reports of conflict were grossly overblown.

1. That's gotta come as quite a disappointment

to those who thrive on discord and shit-stirring.

Toobad

3. CNN reporter "AOC dodging reporters"

4. Watch somebody in the media (MSNBC) say that they're still split

5. Who cares!

This whole Pelosi/AOC thing is nothing but a distraction. I hate when I see the media trying to make this a story. We need to focus on getting the Traitor out of the White House, not if there is a "Feud" between Pelosi & AOC.

10. It is actually not.

Pelosi and AOC represent generational and ideological divides within the Democratic party. If they are fighting and fractured, it makes the Party look weak and unable to carry out the needs of the constituency. Giving the talk and seeming reconciliation or at least the repairing of the relationship enables the Democrats to focus on other things.

Yes we do need to get Trump out, but we need to be unified to do so. Having meetings to mend fences goes toward that end.

Two of the world's most powerful women!..........

8. what's important

What I think is interesting and important here, that nobody else seems to mention or think about is this: AOC is a newbie. Yet Pelosi feels she needs to have them look good for the cameras. AOC suddenly has *power* If she were unimportant and had no power, then Pelosi would not have done this.

That's what is crazy and interesting. AOC went from being this newbie to having a bit of pull. I'm very glad about that.

With any luck maybe they'll head toward being allies and Pelosi will mentor AOC.

(and yes I hate using "aoc" but I am not typing all that out every time

9. Let's hope the speaker went into discussions with an open mind and a willingness to change.

Let’s hope AOC is determined to stay the course with the speaker’s backing.

11. Let's hope that AOC went into this with an open mind

She should be willing to listen to Pelosi's experience.
